What metals and gemstones can I choose for my grillz?

We offer a wide range of premium materials, including:


  • Metals: 10k, 14k, and 18k yellow, white, and rose gold. We also offer sterling silver.
  • Gemstones: We use a variety of high-quality diamonds and other precious stones, with custom requests always welcome.

How do I clean and maintain my grillz?

Proper grillz maintenance is essential for longevity and hygiene. We recommend:



  • Removing them before eating or drinking anything other than water.
  • Rinsing them with cold water after each use.
  • Gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
  • Avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Will wearing grillz harm my teeth or gums?

When properly fitted by a professional and worn correctly, custom grillz are safe for your teeth and gums. It's crucial to avoid wearing them overnight and to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent irritation. Our dentist-approved process ensures a safe, comfortable fit.

Tooth Gems

What are tooth gems, and how are they applied?

Tooth gems are small, decorative jewels like diamonds or colored stones that are safely bonded to your tooth enamel. The application is a non-invasive, reversible procedure performed by a dentist using a dental-grade adhesive, ensuring no harm to your tooth.

How long do tooth gems last, and can they be removed?

Tooth gems typically last between 6 and 12 months, depending on your oral hygiene and eating habits. They can be safely removed by a dental professional who will polish your tooth afterward, leaving your enamel intact.

Snap-On Veneers

Q: How do snap-on veneers differ from custom grillz?

While both are removable dental accessories, they serve different purposes. Snap-on veneers are designed to be a full smile cover for an instant cosmetic makeover. They are a non-invasive and reversible way to enhance your smile. Grillz, on the other hand, are custom dental jewelry, typically focused on a few teeth, and are made from precious metals and stones.


Q: Are snap-on veneers comfortable for daily wear?

Yes. Our dentist-fitted snap-on veneers are designed for comfort and a precise fit. They are an excellent solution for everyday use or special occasions, giving you a beautiful smile without any invasive procedures.

Legal & Safety Compliance

Q: Are custom grillz and tooth gems FDA-compliant?

The materials used for our custom dental jewelry comply with all relevant safety standards. Our dentist-approved fittings and application process ensure your safety and comfort are prioritized.


Q: Why is a dentist-approved fitting important?

A dentist-approved fitting is crucial because it ensures a precise and safe fit. This minimizes the risk of damage to your teeth, discomfort, or gum irritation, protecting your oral health for the long term.
