Dental Jewellery
Dental jewelry includes a surface-covering jewelry piece, the body of which is designed to lie principally in a plane parallel with the tooth surface and is designed to be affixed to said surface by a layer of fixing composite. On its backside, which is designed to be turned toward the surface of the tooth, the jewelry piece has a recess which, along the piece’s circumference of the said backside, defines a continual supporting edge upon which the jewelry piece rests against the tooth surface.
Placing dental jewelry is painless and does not require any injection. The tooth will not be drilled for placement of dental jewelry and only takes 15 minutes for the entire procedure. Dental jewelry is firmly bound to the tooth similar to an orthodontic bracket. The chances of it falling while eating are very rare. The bonding procedure has also been simplified and is completely reversible and safe.
