DENTAL JEWELRY
Dental Jewelry in Corpus Christi
A little sparkle, applied by a dentist.
A small gem or charm bonded to the surface of a tooth is a fun, low-commitment way to personalize your smile. At Dental Inlet, your dentist applies it, so your tooth is checked first and the result is clean and secure. Book a visit and we will help you choose.
✓ Applied by a dentist ✓ Open Saturdays ✓ No drilling
Why have it done at a dental office
Your tooth is checked first
We look at the tooth before anything is placed, so a gem never covers a cavity or weak spot.
A careful, clean bond
Dental-grade materials are used to attach the gem to the surface of the enamel.
Easy to remove
The gem can be taken off by your dentist when you are ready for a change.
Is a gem right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Have healthy teeth and gums
- Want something fun that is not permanent
- Like the idea of changing your look later
Let’s talk first if you…
- Have a cavity or a cracked tooth, which we would treat first
- Grind your teeth hard, since that can loosen a gem
- Are thinking of something more lasting, like veneers
