Care & questions
Before your appointment, after your gem is placed, and whenever you have a question.
The visit
Good to know
Everything you need to enjoy your dental jewel for as long as possible.
The first 2 hours
Drink only water for two hours after application. Avoid coffee and soft drinks in the hours after your appointment. Do not smoke or vape for two hours after application.
The first day
Avoid hard, sticky and acidic foods for 12 hours, and very hot or cold drinks for 24 hours.
Daily care
Use a soft manual toothbrush. Avoid an electric toothbrush in the days following application. Do not touch or play with the gem.
Your teeth come first
Gems can retain plaque and may damage teeth or gums. Good oral hygiene matters. If you have pain or irritation, consult a dentist.
Dental materials, with clear precautions
I use dental bonding products of the kind used in orthodontics. Ask me to show you the packaging and ingredients before your appointment. This is cosmetic jewellery, not dental treatment; removal is carried out by a dentist.
When I will say no
Please tell me about dental work, allergies or concerns before we arrange your appointment.
- Veneers, crowns or dental restorations on the tooth to be decorated.
- Cavities, cracks, tooth pain or gum disease: see a dentist first.
- Poor oral hygiene: improve your dental care before considering a gem.
- Known allergy to Bis-GMA, UDMA or another ingredient in the bonding products: tell me before arranging a visit.
- Under sixteen, I say no: that is my own rule. At sixteen or seventeen, a parent or guardian must be present throughout and give written agreement.
Allergens & materials
The bonding products may contain Bis-GMA and UDMA. Tell me about any known allergy or past reaction before your appointment. Ask to see the exact product ingredients. Individual sensitivity can vary.

Frequently asked questions
Do you really come to my home?
Yes. I bring the gems, disinfected reusable equipment, a single-use mouth retractor and the lamp.
How is the equipment prepared?
Reusable equipment is disinfected with specialist disinfectants between clients. The mouth retractor is single-use.
Which parts of Tbilisi do you cover?
I travel from Marjanishvili. The first 20 minutes of the outward journey are included. Longer journeys have an additional charge, agreed with you before the appointment. Rustavi, Mtskheta, or elsewhere outside the city: write to me and we will arrange it together.
What do you need from me?
A table, a chair with a back, a socket, and forty to seventy minutes. Nothing else — I bring my own light, my own surface and my own waste bag. Your home does not need to be tidy.
Can you come to a hotel or an office?
Gladly. Tell me the address and the floor once we have agreed a day, and let reception know I am expected.
Can several of us book together?
That is the best way to do it. Two or more at the same address is one visit for me and 10% off for each of you, however many you are. Four is a normal afternoon.
Do tooth gems damage the enamel?
Bonding does not involve drilling, but tooth gems are not risk-free. They can retain plaque and may damage enamel or irritate gums. If you have dental work, cracks, decay or gum problems, see a dentist first. A dentist must carry out removal.
Does it hurt?
There is no drilling and no injection, and most clients feel nothing beyond the cold of the etching gel and the taste of it. If you have sensitive teeth, say so and we take it slower.
Is there an age limit?
I set gems from sixteen; that is my own rule. At sixteen or seventeen, a parent or guardian is in the room for the whole visit, agrees, and confirms it in writing: a WhatsApp message from them is enough. Under sixteen I will say no, however politely it is asked. In a group, this applies to each person having gems.
How long does a gem last?
A gem can last from 3 months to a year or longer. Saliva acidity, oral hygiene and care affect how long it stays in place. This is an estimate, not a promised duration. Removal is possible at any time by a dentist.
Can I eat and brush my teeth normally?
Drink only water for the first two hours. Avoid hard, sticky and acidic foods for 12 hours and very hot or cold drinks for 24 hours. Use a soft manual toothbrush, avoid electric brushing in the following days, and do not play with the gem. Do not smoke or vape for two hours after application.
What if the gem comes loose?
If a gem I set comes off within two weeks, I set it again free. After two weeks, replacement of a standard crystal costs 40.00 GEL. Contact me for gold or opal replacement.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Pay by card, cash in lari or transfer via TBC or Bank of Georgia. Round and shaped crystals are in stock, with no deposit or delivery wait. Gold and opals are ordered in advance. Displayed service prices include application.
Which languages do you speak?
I speak English and French. If you do not speak English, do not worry: we can use translation to understand each other.
