Because Your Smile Deserves to Shine Brighter
Have you noticed more people flashing brilliant smiles with a touch of extra sparkle lately? If you’ve been scrolling through social media or walking around Orlando’s trendiest neighborhoods, you’ve probably spotted the latest dental fashion statement taking the city by storm: smile jewelry. At Dynamic Smile Design, we’ve seen a remarkable surge in patients asking about these dazzling dental accessories, and we’re here to tell you everything you need to know about this exciting trend.
What Exactly Is Smile Jewelry?
Smile jewelry refers to small, decorative gems or crystals that are professionally bonded to the surface of your teeth, typically on the front incisors or canines. These tiny accessories come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, from classic clear crystals that catch the light to colored gems that make a bold statement. Unlike permanent dental modifications, smile jewelry is a temporary accessory that can be safely applied and removed by dental professionals, making it a low-commitment way to add personality to your smile.
Orlando Loves Smile Jewelry
Orlando has always been a city that embraces creativity and self-expression. From our vibrant arts scene to our fashion-forward communities, residents here aren’t afraid to stand out. Smile jewelry fits perfectly into Orlando’s culture of individuality and style. We’ve noticed at Dynamic Smile Design that our patients range from college students at UCF looking to add flair to their look, to young professionals who want a subtle way to express their personality, to social media influencers who understand the power of a memorable smile.
The trend has been particularly popular in areas like Thornton Park, Mills 50, and downtown Orlando, where creative expression is celebrated. Many of our patients tell us they were inspired by celebrities, musicians, and fashion icons who have been sporting smile jewelry on red carpets and in music videos.
Why People Are Choosing Smile Jewelry
The appeal of smile jewelry goes beyond just aesthetics. For many of our patients at Dynamic Smile Design, these tiny gems represent a form of self-expression that’s both unique and reversible. Unlike tattoos or piercings, smile jewelry can be changed or removed based on your mood, outfit, or life circumstances. It’s the perfect accessory for someone who loves to switch up their style.
Additionally, smile jewelry has become a popular way to celebrate special occasions. We’ve had patients request gems for weddings, graduations, milestone birthdays, and even just to boost their confidence before a big presentation or date. The sparkle catches light beautifully in photographs, adding an extra dimension to selfies and professional photos alike.
The Safe Way to Get Smile Jewelry
While the trend is undeniably appealing, it’s crucial to have smile jewelry applied by trained dental professionals. At Dynamic Smile Design, we use dental-grade adhesive that’s specifically designed to bond gems safely to tooth enamel without causing damage. The application process is quick, painless, and completely non-invasive. We carefully prepare the tooth surface, apply the adhesive, and position the gem with precision to ensure it looks natural and stays secure.
Some people are tempted by DIY kits available online, but we strongly advise against this approach. Improper application can damage tooth enamel, cause irritation to gums, or result in gems that fall off quickly. Professional application ensures your smile jewelry looks great and stays put for months without harming your dental health.
Caring for Your Smile Jewelry
Once you’ve gotten smile jewelry from Dynamic Smile Design, caring for it is straightforward. You’ll continue your regular oral hygiene routine of brushing twice daily and flossing, just being gentle around the gem. The jewelry is durable enough to withstand normal eating and drinking, though we recommend avoiding extremely hard or sticky foods that might dislodge it.
Most smile jewelry lasts anywhere from six months to a year, depending on its placement and your dental habits. When you’re ready for a change or removal, we can safely take it off without any lasting effects on your tooth enamel.
