The service is quick — most appointments take 20–40 minutes including consultation and placement. Timing varies with gem number and desired placement, but you can expect same-day results and minimal chair time for a fast, polished look.

No — gems are adhered with dental-grade, non-etching adhesive and do not require drilling or enamel removal. Most clients experience no sensitivity; if you have existing enamel issues, we’ll assess during consultation and recommend the safest option for your teeth.

Gem longevity depends on oral habits and placement — typically several weeks to a few months. Avoid abrasive toothpaste, nail-biting, or sticky foods to extend wear. We offer touch-ups or professional removal if a gem loosens or you want a different look.

Generally safe for teens and adults, but not recommended for very young children. If you have braces, extensive restorations, active gum disease, or recent dental work, we’ll consult with you or your dentist to ensure suitability and plan a safe application.

Professional removal is recommended to protect enamel. Trying to pry gems off at home can damage tooth surfaces. We safely remove or detach gems using proper tools and adhesive solvents, and can reapply or switch styles during a follow-up appointment.

You should maintain normal brushing and flossing but be gentle around the gem. Use non-abrasive toothpaste and avoid hard or sticky foods that can dislodge gems. Continue regular dental checkups to ensure oral health and longevity of the appliqué.
