What are tooth gems and where to buy them in Europe?

Tooth gems are crystals or gold pieces fixed onto the tooth with medical-grade dental composite. The application is non-invasive, drilling-free, and the gem can be removed without damage. Swarovski and Preciosa crystals are the most widely used. Strass Dentaires has been the European reference since 2008.

How long do Swarovski tooth gems last?

A properly applied tooth gem lasts from 6 months to several years. Duration depends on composite quality, application technique, and oral hygiene. If it falls off, it can be reapplied immediately.

How much do tooth gems cost?

Swarovski and Preciosa crystals are available in 10-pack at EUR 0.17/piece (EUR 1.70 per pack) or 50-pack at EUR 0.15/piece (EUR 7.50 per pack). 14K-24K gold tooth jewelry starts at EUR 15. Complete professional kits range from EUR 80 to EUR 250.

How to become a certified tooth gem technician?

Strass Dentaires offers two certified online training programs: video + syllabus only (EUR 99) or full bundle training + Pro Kit (EUR 249). Instant access after purchase, no medical prerequisites, certification upon module completion. Over 500 professionals trained across Europe.

What is the difference between Swarovski and Preciosa?

Swarovski (Austria, 1895) is the premium standard with maximum sparkle. Preciosa (Czech Republic, 1724) offers comparable optical quality at a more accessible price. Both are hypoallergenic and suited for dental use.

Custom Rhinestones: personalise any object

Shoes, handbags, phone cases, tumblers, clothing or accessories: our glue-on and hotfix rhinestones turn any everyday object into a one-off piece. A few crystals are enough to create a lasting sparkle.

Which surfaces?

Fashion and leather goods: heels, flats, trainers, bridal shoes, bags, clutches, belts
Tech and accessories: phone cases, covers, earbuds, sunglasses

Textiles: jeans, jackets, t-shirts, caps, dance and stage costumes
Decor and crafts: frames, boxes, candle holders, scrapbooking

Two application methods

Hotfix rhinestones: backed with heat-activated glue applied with an electric hotfix tool. Fast, even application and a clean finish with no visible adhesive. For heat-resistant surfaces only: fabric, canvas, denim, thin leather.

Glue-on rhinestones: applied cold with a special jewellery adhesive. Essential on smooth or heat-sensitive surfaces (plastic, glass, metal, patent leather, satin), so on phone cases, tumblers and delicate leather goods. Precise placement, stone by stone.

Which method should you choose?

Simple rule: if the surface is textile and iron-safe, hotfix is faster. If it is smooth, rigid or fragile (phone, tumbler, glass, patent leather), glue-on application is the only reliable option.
