Dental Jewellery

Teeth have not escaped current fashion trends either. To get that different look there are a lot of options now available for fashion lovers. Thin metal or crystal adornments can be bonded onto the tooth. These can be removed and replaced at will and do not involve cutting of tooth structure. Dental tattoos are a reality in some parts of the world wherein a thin colorful veneer with desired inscriptions or pictures is temporarily or permanently bonded onto the tooth.
