Step by Step Instructions by Pro Toothgem Artist
Check out our comprehensive and detailed step-by-step instruction for long lasting result ! Made by pro tooth gem artist.
Want a temporary result instead ?
Skip our strong bond resin (blue jar) and use only the adhesive and cure for 3 minutes . OR use way less resin and skip the “hugging” technique ! More detailed instructions for temoporary result can be find here.
My gem box is too tight to open ;(
We package our precious little crystals in tightly sealed and durable gem boxes so sometimes it might be a little hard to open. Just gently lever it open using the other end of your tweezer !
(Psss: Our tweezer is durable and totally reusable for your other needs such as arts or craft or even ur lashes!)
PRO TIP FROM TOOTHGEMS ARTIST FOR LONG-LASTING RESULT !
Add a tiny bit of RESIN BOND around the gem to “hug it” for extra stability. Remember to cure the additional resin for the recommended time each angle to ensure it also sets properly.
**Wipe the top of gems if resin gets smeared on so the crystals stay sparkly!

General Questions
What is a tooth gem?
A tooth gem is a semi-permanent, non-invasive way to add some bling to your smile. It involves applying a small piece of jewelry to your tooth using dental-grade adhesive.
Are tooth gems safe?
Yes! Tooth gems are completely safe when applied correctly. We use dental-grade adhesives that won’t harm your enamel.
Will I feel the gem in my mouth?
Yes, you’ll notice it at first, but you’ll get used to it within a few days. Most people forget it’s even there!
Does it hurt to apply a tooth gem?
Not at all! The process is 100% painless. No drilling, no needles, just sparkle. It takes about 10-15 minutes to apply.
How long does the adhesive take to set?
The adhesive takes about 24 hours to fully bond, so avoid brushing directly on the gem and eating hard or sticky foods during that time.
How long will a tooth gem last?
Tooth gems can last anywhere from 1 month to 1 year, depending on your diet, oral care routine, and the placement of the gem.
Care and Maintenance
How do I clean my teeth with a gem?
- Brush gently around the gem after the first 24 hours.
- Avoid electric toothbrushes for the first 48 hours.
- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
Can I still floss with a tooth gem?
Yes, you can! Just be careful around the gem to avoid pulling on it.
Are there any foods I should avoid?
- First 24 Hours: Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods and hot drinks.
- Long-Term: Minimize acidic foods (like citrus) and avoid biting directly on the gem.

Longevity and Removal
What if my gem falls off?
No worries! If your gem falls off, use your Starra Three-Step Bonding Kit to reapply, or visit a professional for help.
Can I remove the gem if I don’t want it anymore?
Tooth gems are designed to fall off naturally over time. If you want it removed sooner, consult a dentist to safely remove it without damaging your tooth.
Will a tooth gem damage my teeth?
Nope! Tooth gems are non-invasive and won’t harm your enamel when applied and removed correctly.
Special Cases
Can I get a tooth gem on a crown or veneer?
No, tooth gems can only be applied to natural teeth.
What happens if I accidentally swallow my gem?
Don’t worry! The gem is non-toxic and will pass naturally through your system.
Materials and Quality
What are Starra gems made of?
Our gems are made of lead-free, non-toxic crystals, designed specifically for oral use. They are stain-resistant and maintain their sparkle over time.
Is the adhesive safe?
Yes! We use dental-grade adhesive that is the same as what orthodontists use for braces.
