Tooth gems in Hurghada, on in under fifteen minutes
A small crystal bonded to the front of a tooth with the same adhesive used to hold an orthodontic bracket. Nothing is drilled and nothing is cut away — it sits on the surface, and when you decide you have had enough of it, it comes off and the tooth underneath is exactly as it was.
What actually happens
- You choose the stone and the tooth. It is worth holding it up in the mirror first: one tooth to the side reads very differently from dead centre.
- That small patch of enamel is cleaned and dried.
- The adhesive is placed, the stone is set into it, and a light sets it in seconds.
- You leave. There is nothing to avoid and nothing to come back for.
What it looks like
Illustration, not a patient of ours — the result differs from case to case.
Who it suits
- Anyone who wants something noticeable that is not permanent.
- People travelling with friends or family who want it done together — it is quick enough to do several in one appointment.
- Anyone curious about it but not willing to have a tooth altered for it. Nothing is altered.
When it is not the right choice
- It should not go on a crown or a veneer — the adhesive is designed for enamel.
- It should not go on a tooth with a filling or a cavity on the front surface.
- If you grind your teeth hard at night, it will come off sooner than it should.
How long it lasts
Usually between six months and a year or more. It can come off earlier — biting into something hard is the usual reason. If it does, nothing is damaged; the tooth is simply back to plain enamel.
What people ask us about this
Does it damage the tooth?
No. Nothing is drilled and nothing is cut. The adhesive holds on the surface of the enamel, the same way an orthodontic bracket does, and comes off the same way.
Can I take it off myself?
Please do not try to lever it off. Come back to any dentist and it is a two-minute job to remove and polish, with nothing left behind.
Will it set off an airport scanner?
No. It is a small crystal and it is not metal detectable in any way that matters.
Can I eat and brush normally?
Yes, straight away. Brush it as you brush the tooth. Avoid biting hard things directly with that tooth.
