How to Add a Touch of Luxury to Your Smile with Smillz Originals
Our smiles say a lot about us. They can be friendly, playful, mischievous — or even just a little bit glamorous. In the last few years, tiny gems on teeth have moved from club nights and social media feeds into the mainstream. If you’re curious about the trend but want something that feels as refined as your taste in jewellery, this guide will help you understand tooth gems and show you why the Smillz Originals Kit stands apart from ordinary DIY kits.
What are tooth gems and why the buzz?
Tooth gems are small crystals, semi‑precious stones or gold motifs that are adhered to the surface of a tooth. They don’t require drilling; instead, a dental‑grade bonding resin holds the gem in place until you decide to remove it. People love them because they’re temporary, non‑invasive and a fun way to express your personality without committing to a piercing. Some cultures have been adorning teeth with jewels for centuries — the Mayan civilisation, for instance, set jade and precious stones into their smiles as a sign of beauty and status.
When considering a kit, the adhesive is key. You should avoid household glues or nail products. A proper tooth‑gem kit uses dental resin similar to that used for braces or fillings. This ensures that the gem holds securely without damaging your enamel and can be removed cleanly when you’re ready for a new look.
Introducing Smillz Originals — elegance meets precision
Smillz Originals isn’t just another set of stones and glue. It’s the first luxury tooth‑gem kit designed by a fine‑jewellery house. According to the official product description, the kit invites you to “carry the timeless essence of elegance into your smile”. Inspired by the Mayan tradition of decorating teeth with precious stones, Smillz reinterprets that heritage through modern minimalism and refined craftsmanship.
Inside the kit you’ll find:
-
A curated selection of gems in three distinct sizes, chosen for their brilliance and cut.
-
A precision application pen and LED curing lamp that make placement and bonding easy.
-
A bottle of Smillz Bond — a dental‑grade adhesive formulated for oral use.
-
Step‑by‑step instructions written by jewellers and reviewed by dental professionals.
What really sets Smillz Originals apart is made from the finest materials and speed. Thanks to our proprietary bonding formula, you can apply your gem in just four simple steps, making it one of the fastest kits on the market. Follow the instructions and your sparkle will stay put for one to six months, depending on your diet and oral care habits.
“Smillz Originals is not just a kit — it is a personal statement of sophistication and prestige,” notes the product description. We couldn’t agree more.
How to apply your Smillz gem
-
Brush and dry – Start by brushing the tooth or teeth where you’ll place your gem and make sure they are thoroughly dry. A clean, dry surface helps the adhesive bond properly.
-
Apply the Bond – Using the brush provided, paint a thin layer of Smillz Bond onto the tooth. Keep the area as dry as possible during application; cotton rolls can help absorb excess moisture.
-
Place the gem – Carefully pick up your chosen Smillz gem with the pen and gently set it on the tooth. Use the back end of the pen to nudge it into the perfect position.
-
Cure for three minutes – Hold the UV light close to the gem and tooth for about three minutes to fully cure the adhesive.
After curing, avoid biting into very hard or sticky foods for a few hours. When applied correctly and with good oral habits, your gem can last from one to six months, depending on your diet and how you care for your teeth. If you ever want to remove it, gently floss underneath the gem to pop it off.
