Frequently Asked Questions
What are gold grillz?
Gold grillz are decorative dental appliances made from gold (and sometimes other metals) that fit over the teeth. They are often used as a fashion statement.
Are the grillz custom made?
Yes, all products we make are custom made & fit only to your teeth. We'll use your mould to make grillz to perfectly fit to your teeth. The shape of your tooth plays a huge part in how a single cap or a set of grillz can fit. These custom made grillz are basically compression fit, so a slight pressure on the grillz keeps them in place on your teeth. In cases where the fitting is a little loose, we'd recommend denture adhesive. That's why fixodent is included to your package with your finished grillz. If your teeth are more straight than rounded, it may be harder for the grillz caps to stay in place. We craft the grillz to the exact shape of your teeth based on your moulds, but we cannot guarantee that they will always fit securely.
Are grillz safe to wear?
The Art of the Safe Smile: Custom Brilliance
In the UK, the "safety" of a grill isn't just about the metal—it’s about the integrity of the craft. Choosing custom-made dental jewelry is an act of self-care and a commitment to quality. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, a bespoke piece is a tribute to your unique anatomy.
💎 Precision Engineering
A custom grill is a masterpiece of dental engineering. When crafted by skilled UK artisans using a professional mold of your teeth, the piece sits in perfect harmony with your natural smile. It doesn't force your teeth to move; it simply "hugs" them, allowing you to shine without compromise.
🛡️ The Standard of Excellence
The UK has some of the strictest standards for precious metals in the world. When you opt for high-karat gold (14k or 18k) or dental-grade silver from reputable UK makers, you are choosing materials that are:
-Biocompatible: Designed to be harmonious with your body.
-Tarnish-Resistant: Maintaining that mirror-like glow for years.
-Hypoallergenic: Ensuring your skin and gums stay as healthy as they are stylish.
✨ A Confidence Catalyst
Safety is also about peace of mind. Wearing a piece that was made specifically for you provides a level of confidence that "off-the-shelf" items simply can't match. It’s an investment in your brand, your look, and your self-expression.
"A custom grill isn't just an accessory; it’s a crown for your confidence. By prioritizing quality materials and a perfect fit, you're not just protecting your smile—you're elevating it."
How do custom grillz fit?
The Impression is Everything
The fit starts with a dental impression kit. You bite into a putty-filled tray to create a negative mold of your teeth.
-The Goal: To capture the exact crevices and alignment of your teeth.
-The Result: A stone cast is poured into that mold, and the gold or silver is crafted specifically over that model.
Friction and Tension
Unlike "slugs" or cheap over-the-counter grillz that use messy silicone bars, custom grillz rely on mechanical tension.
-The Snap: When you slide a well-made custom grill on, you should feel a slight "snap" or a snug click.
-Retention: The metal is designed to hug the "undercuts" (the slightly wider parts of your teeth near the gumline). This friction keeps them from moving while you talk.
The "Hook" or Backing
Most custom grillz feature small hidden "flaps" or hooks on the back (the lingual side).
-If the grill feels a little loose after you've worn it for a while, you can gently push these backings inward with your thumb.
-This tightens the grip against the back of your teeth without changing how the front looks.
Comfort Level
-Initial Feel: It will feel "thick" against your lips at first. You might have a slight lisp for the first hour as your tongue adjusts to the new volume.
-Long-term: Because they are molded to your anatomy, there should be zero pain. If a grill is pinching your gums or making your teeth ache, it means the mold was inaccurate or the metal has warped.
How long do gold grillz last?
With proper care, gold grillz can last for several years. However, wear and tear can affect their longevity.
Are there any health concerns with grillz?
Potential issues include gum irritation or allergic reactions if made from low-quality materials. It’s important to consult with a dental professional.
What if my grillz break?
We design our grillz with care, but it's essential to treat them like delicate jewelry. If they break, it's your responsibility to ensure they're used as recommended.
Do I need to visit your workshop to place an order?
Not at all! You can conveniently place your order online, and we'll handle everything through our postal service.
Should I see a dentist before getting grillz made?
If you don't have any significant dental issues, it's not mandatory. However, we recommend having a dental check-up to ensure your teeth are in good health before getting grillz, especially if you have concerns like loose teeth or gum issues.
What if my grillz don't fit upon arrival?
No worries! Send them back to us, and we'll adjust them for you. Please avoid trying to adjust them yourself to prevent any damage.
Are the grillz permanent?
Our grillz are removable accessories. We advise against eating, drinking, or sleeping with them on. For permanent options, please consult a dentist.
Can I get grillz if I have missing teeth?
Yes, we offer gap-filler grillz designed to accommodate missing teeth, ensuring a complete and stylish look.
How long does it take to receive my order?
Typically, simple designs take about three days, while more intricate patterns or those with stones may take up one or two weeks.
About the displacement of teeth:
- Our teeth can shift over time.
- The range and time varies from person to person.
- There can be several reasons for this:
- Eruption of wisdom teeth
- Physiological changes with age
- Nocturnal teeth grinding
- Gaps caused by missing teeth
- The forces acting on the teeth (tongue, speech, chewing)
- Periodontal disease
- Inadequate orthodontic treatment

Dental Alloys:
What materials are used in the grillz?
We use high-quality, biocompatible dental-grade metals that are lead and nickel-free, ensuring they're safe and comfortable to wear.
The Bold Look of Dental Gold (NPG)
For those who want the heavyweight aesthetic of a solid gold smile without the premium price tag, NPG (Non-Precious Gold) is the industry’s best-kept secret. Often referred to as "Dental Gold," this high-performance alloy is engineered specifically for oral use, delivering a stunning, high-fashion look with professional-grade durability.
What is NPG?
NPG is a specialized dental alloy designed to mimic the physical properties of gold. It’s a favorite in the grillz community because it offers the perfect balance of strength and shine.
-Yellow Dental Gold: This alloy captures that deep, rich buttery yellow of 18k gold. It’s bold, iconic, and provides a classic "Old School" glow.
-White Dental Gold: A sleek, mirror-like alternative that offers the cool, industrial aesthetic of Platinum or White Gold.
Why Choose Dental Gold for Your Grillz?
-The Look of Luxury: NPG is virtually indistinguishable from real gold to the naked eye. It holds a high-polish finish that stays radiant.
-Incredible Durability: Because it is harder than high-karat gold, it is highly resistant to scratches and everyday wear. It’s a "workhorse" metal that keeps its shape perfectly.
-Oral Safety: Unlike "fashion jewelry" metals like brass or lead, NPG is a biocompatible dental alloy. It was originally designed for dental crowns and bridges, meaning it’s safe for long-term wear in the mouth.
-Value-Focused: It allows you to go "all out" with complex designs or full sets while staying within a budget, without sacrificing that custom-molded fit.
-The Professional Edge: Choosing Dental Gold means you aren't just wearing jewelry—you’re wearing a piece crafted from materials trusted by the dental industry for decades.
Precious Gold:
If you are looking for more value to your grillz then precious gold is what your after. We offer 14k and 18k white, yellow or rose gold and only solid gold and not gold plated.
14k precious gold: It is an affordable value for a customer on a budget. Medium hardness and durability, and a bright luster.
18k precious gold: 18k gold has 75% gold and is the most expensive option on the list; it has lower hardness, highest durability and a very bright luster.
Silver:
Although the word "silver" is commonly used to describe the colour, we do not use actual silver metal. Silver is very toxic in the mouth by itself. We do not use it for dental grillz. It can be broken down by saliva thus leaking harmfull chemicals into the body. We use biocompatible solid white gold (precious or non precious) instead that look like silver. It is safe to be used in the mouth.
All dental alloys are biocompatible, however allergy to the metals may occur to some people! Please inform us if you are aware of such allergy as it is your own responsibility.
Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver is the ultimate choice for those seeking a sharp, high-luster look that bridges the gap between classic elegance and modern "ice." It is a precious metal favored for its brilliant white glow and incredible versatility.
What Makes it "Sterling"?
In its purest form, silver is actually too soft to be worn as jewelry. To create a piece that lasts a lifetime, it is alloyed with other metals to provide strength.
-The Composition: Authentic Sterling Silver consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper.
-The Hallmark: You will often see this represented by the "925" stamp, a global symbol of quality and authenticity.
Why Choose Sterling Silver for Your Grillz?
-Radiant Brilliance: Silver reflects light more intensely than almost any other metal, giving your smile a bright, crisp flash that stands out from across the room.
-Premium Quality, Accessible Luxury: It offers the weight and prestige of a precious metal while remaining more affordable than gold, allowing for bolder, more intricate designs.
-Biocompatible: High-quality .925 silver is generally safe for oral wear, provided you maintain a simple cleaning routine to keep it looking pristine.
