The habit of decorating one's body in every way has been around for a long time. People have gone to all sorts of lengths to attract maximum attention!
You'll agree that when we meet someone new, the first thing we notice is their face. That's why many people strive to have luxurious hair, well-groomed skin, and a beautiful smile.
For some people, natural beauty is not enough; the desire to stand out from the crowd and attract increased attention pushes them to experiment with their appearance.
No one is surprised anymore by an unusual haircut or hair color, tattoos, permanent makeup, or piercings of all kinds. For today's person who wants to make a lasting impression, simply having a beautiful, white smile and straight teeth isn't enough; they want something more.
Dental inlays have come to the aid of fashionistas. Decorating teeth with stones and precious metals has been around for a long time, but only the development of modern technology has made it possible to do so with precision and beauty.
Nowadays, both precious stones, such as diamonds and sapphires, and special skyces (flat stones covered with foil) are widely used to decorate teeth.
Some people prefer to decorate their teeth with gold figurines or decorative crowns encrusted with precious stones. It all depends on your taste and the depth of your wallet.
Adorning teeth with gold jewelry isn't particularly popular, as it can look rather dubious from a distance. However, the sparkle and shine of the stones are clearly visible from afar and immediately catch the eye.
All dental jewelry is affixed using modern photopolymer materials, the color of which is matched to the tone of the teeth. The stone, affixed in this way, looks stunning, and the bonding strength is sufficient to ensure the inlay lasts for a significant period of time.
If you want to decorate your teeth with natural stones, remember that this will require some damage to the enamel. This won't harm the structure of the implanted tooth, but it's undesirable for a healthy tooth. It's also important to know that a natural stone will never sparkle beautifully in the light, like jewelry, because the tooth structure and the bonding material block sunlight. Chances are, only you and your immediate circle will know you have a diamond in your tooth.
Using skyces is preferable. No tooth tissue is damaged; the flat stone is simply glued to the tooth. The foil allows the stone to sparkle beautifully in the light, a shine that is noticeable to almost everyone. You always have the option to reposition the stone on the tooth before bonding. This is not possible with natural stone.
If you get tired of your skyce, it can be easily removed in the dentist's office. Modern clinics always carry a small selection of these stones in various shades and diameters. You can choose and even try on your favorite skyce in the dentist's chair. They're quite inexpensive, allowing you to replace your stones periodically and avoid the frustration of chipping and losing your jewelry.
Such products do not require any special care; simple brushing of teeth is sufficient.
So, you've made your decision. Take a close and critical look at your smile. If you have untreated teeth, old crowns, or restorations, the new jewelry will always draw unnecessary attention to them. It's advisable to sanitize your mouth, at least the frontal area, before installing the inlay.
Remember, the main highlight of your smile is healthy teeth, and everything else can only complement its natural beauty.
