What Are Tooth Gems? And Why Cherry Bomb Studio in NYC Does Them Best
If you're searching for tooth gems in NYC, you're in the right place. At Cherry Bomb Studio, we've been offering high-quality, professional tooth gem services since 2018, way before they blew up on TikTok and Instagram. From day one, we've been committed to safe application, high-end materials, and giving your smile the glow-up it deserves.
Whether you're curious about what a tooth gem actually is or wondering why you should choose Cherry Bomb over other studios, this post breaks it all down.
So, What Exactly Are Tooth Gems?
Tooth gems are small, semi-permanent accessories (usually crystals or gold) that are bonded to the surface of your tooth using dental-grade adhesive. There's no drilling, no pain, and no damage to your enamel when applied properly. Think of it like getting a new piercing but for your smile.
You can choose from single gems, designs made from multiple crystals, or solid gold shapes like stars, hearts, or initials. They're waterproof, safe for eating, and can last anywhere from a few months to a few years depending on your habits and lifestyle.
A (Brief) History of Tooth Gems
Tooth adornment isn't new. People have been decorating their teeth for centuries from Mayan royalty embedding jade in their molars to hip-hop culture repping grills and iced-out smiles. What we now call "tooth gems" became especially popular in the late '90s and early 2000s, and they're back again better and sparklier than ever.
At Cherry Bomb Studio, we've been applying tooth gems in New York City since 2018. We've seen trends come and go, but we've stayed consistent in one thing: doing it right.
Why Cherry Bomb Is NYC's Best Tooth Gem Studio
Let's get into the good stuff. Here's what makes our tooth gem application in NYC stand out from the rest.
We Use a Dental-Grade Bonding System
Most studios use adhesives that aren't meant for your mouth. Not us. We use a dental-grade bonding system, the same kind of adhesive dentists use to attach braces. It's safe, strong, and enamel-friendly. Your gem stays on longer and looks better simple as that.

If your tooth gem falls off within three months, we'll reapply it for free. We're confident in our process, and we back it up. Learn more about it!

A Clean, Inclusive Studio You'll Actually Enjoy Visiting

Are Tooth Gems Safe?
When applied correctly (aka not by your friend in their bathroom), yes. Tooth gems are safe, do not damage your enamel, and can be removed or replaced without any permanent changes to your teeth. The key is using proper dental adhesives and going to a reputable studio like us.
How Long Do Tooth Gems Last?
Most clients keep their gems for 6 months to 2 years, depending on how well they care for them. Avoiding super crunchy or sticky foods helps, and keeping up with good oral hygiene makes a huge difference. And remember if it falls off within 3 months, we've got you covered.
