Hello,
my daughter would like to have a small diamond glued to her tooth. I would like to know whether this can have any consequences and how long such a diamond stays on the tooth.
Thank you for your answer.

Imitation diamonds are available in different sizes and colors. For bonding, the adhesive supplied by the manufacturer that also sells the diamonds is used. The adhesives are weak and do not damage tooth enamel, but the bond strength is correspondingly limited. The diamond can fall off while eating, brushing the teeth... How long it remains on the tooth also depends on the curvature of the tooth surface to which it is bonded. They usually remain on the tooth for a few months up to a year. It can also be bonded permanently, but the adhesives and cements are stronger and, upon removal, need to be additionally polished off the tooth surface. In that case we could theoretically speak of damage to the tooth surface.

Have a nice day.
