Diamond Teeth

A Smile Worth a Million Bucks

It used to be that a shiny smile came from good hygiene. You brushed your teeth regularly, flossed and visited the dentist for cleanings and teeth whitening … all for the sake of a bright and shiny smile. Well guess what? You can have a smile worth a million bucks, thanks to diamond teeth.

Yep, you heard right – diamond teeth. Having a little bling with your smile is the newest fad. It is all about vanity, setting you apart from the rest of the crowd. That is why you see a lot of rap artists indulging themselves in this tooth jewelry. The diamond teeth craze is also reaching beyond the entertainment industry and into the homes of “regular” folks too.

There are several ways you can obtain diamond teeth and all of them entail non-invasive techniques to achieve that bright smile. This means no large needles giving you mouth-numbing shots and no noisy drilling or the smell of freshly drilled teeth. The first method involves having a mold made of your teeth. Usually, a mold kit can be mailed straight to your home with detailed instructions. The mold will serve as a guide so that caps can be made to slide right over your existing teeth. Since these caps cannot be solid diamonds, you can choose a base of sterling silver, white gold or even yellow gold. How bright you want your smile will depend on which metal you choose.

With the caps, you have the advantage of your diamond teeth hiding any imperfections in your smile. Crooked teeth and gaps can be camouflaged easily. The same applies for any discolored teeth. They can be hidden too. Best of all, you have the option of purchasing these diamond teeth caps in a removable form or making the addition to your bright smile more permanent through a visit to the dentist or other licensed dental professional. In the removable form, they would almost be like an accessory that you can interchange as you would any regular jewelry like earrings or necklaces.

Another option for your diamond teeth can be likened to an appliqué. Little diamonds can be directly adhered to your teeth using a special bonding process similar to what orthodontists use when installing the brackets for braces. Your teeth are cleaned and a special glue and sealant are used on these jewels for the teeth. These diamond teeth can last for several years if good hygiene is practices and they are not typically harmful to the tooth enamel.

Please keep in mind that this appliqué option can and should only be applied by a dentist, orthodontist or other licensed professional in the dental industry. This is the only way to be assured that your tooth enamel, the surface of the teeth, stays protected.

A variety of items can adorn your body. There are barrettes and combs for the hair, piercing on various body parts like the ears, nose, lip and belly button and there are tattoos for the skin. Why not diamond teeth for a sparkling mouth?
