The diagnostic phase for dental crystals involves a specialized consultation. Unlike diagnosing a pathology, this evaluation focuses on assessing the suitability of the oral environment for a cosmetic enhancement. At Liv Hospital, we employ a comprehensive screening protocol to ensure that the patient is a viable candidate for the procedure. This involves evaluating the structural integrity of the enamel, the functional dynamics of the occlusion, and the patient’s hygienic capacity. A thorough evaluation by a qualified professional prevents potential complications and ensures that the crystal dental placement is both safe and esthetically harmonious. This rigorous assessment distinguishes professional care from amateur application.
The condition of the enamel is the single most critical factor for successful bonding.
The dentist examines the intended tooth (usually a maxillary anterior tooth) under magnification.
The tooth must be free of active pathology.
Erosion: Patients with signs of acid erosion (from GERD or dietary acids) often have thinned enamel. Bonding to thinned enamel can induce post-operative sensitivity and is generally avoided.
While a general dentist manages overall oral health focus on specific areas:
The placement of a dental crystal is an artistic endeavor that requires careful planning.
The dentist evaluates the patient’s smile line and lip dynamics.
A healthy foundation is required for any cosmetic addition.
Choosing the correct type of jewelry is part of the evaluation.

No, you cannot get a tooth gem while you have traditional metal braces, as the bracket already occupies the center of the tooth and hygiene is already compromised; wait until your treatment is complete.
Oncology treats all cancers that originate in any part of the body, including common ones like breast, lung, prostate, and colon cancer, as well as blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.
It is generally not recommended because the bonding process can damage the surface glaze of the porcelain veneer, and removal involves polishing, which can ruin the veneer’s texture.
Typically, a visual exam is sufficient, but if the dentist suspects decay between the teeth or underlying issues, an X-ray may be taken to ensure the tooth is healthy enough.
If you are a heavy grinder (bruxer), the vibration and pressure might cause the crystal to detach sooner, but it is generally safe if placed in a non-contact area.
