Dental ornaments — also called tooth gems — are small decorative accessories bonded to the front surface of a tooth using safe dental adhesive. They have been popular internationally for years and are now one of the most requested cosmetic treatments at One Touch Dental in Thika, particularly among young adults, students, and anyone who loves a unique personal style.
The procedure is entirely painless. No drilling. No injection. No permanent alteration to the tooth. The ornament is bonded to the enamel surface in the same way a bracket is bonded for braces — using dental-grade composite bonding material and a UV curing light. The tooth enamel is simply cleaned and lightly etched with a mild gel to create a bonding surface, then the gem is placed and hardened. The whole process takes under 15 minutes per ornament.
At One Touch Dental Thika, dental ornaments cost KES 1,000 each — making them one of the most affordable cosmetic enhancements available in Kiambu County. We offer a selection of ornament styles including clear Swarovski-style crystals (very popular), coloured crystals, gold foil shapes, and metallic jewel ornaments. You choose the style and which tooth to place it on — most patients choose an upper front incisor or canine for maximum visibility when they smile.
Tooth gems are a fashion accessory — they are meant to be fun, expressive, and impermanent. They typically last 6–12 months depending on where they are placed and how much direct chewing force they receive. They can fall off naturally (the tooth is completely unharmed), or be removed professionally by our Thika dentist at any time. There is no downtime or recovery needed.
Important safety note: dental ornaments should always be applied by a qualified dental professional. DIY tooth gem kits sold online or application at non-dental salons can cause enamel damage, infection, and bonding problems. At One Touch Dental Thika, the procedure is performed using the same high-quality dental materials we use for clinical treatments — ensuring complete safety for your teeth.
