FAQ

Teeth Whitening

  • It depends on whether you’ve professionally whitened within the past year, how stained your teeth are currently, and the nature of your daily habits that cause additional staining (smoking, coffee, red wine, etc.). Your Luxx Smile Specialist will recommend anywhere from a 30-minute to 80-minute treatment. 60 or 80-minute treatments are suggested for all first-time clients. Once you start your treatments, you’ll do 30-45 minute touch-up sessions (half the time - half the price).

  • No, you do not. Your treatment consists of 3-4 back-to-back 15-20 minute treatments. You will need to rinse every 15-20 minutes, allowing for a break before you reapply and sit for another 15-20 minutes. You are encouraged to play on your phone, watch TV, bring your laptop, etc.

  • No, our clients experience NO sensitivity. We have found that any client who has EVER complained of “zingers” or even the slightest discomfort ALL had used an over-the-counter whitening product shortly before coming to us or not following aftercare.

  • Yes. Our products are sourced from laboratories located SOLELY in the USA. We go above and beyond using more than one manufacturer not to compromise the integrity of our specially formulated process.

  • Our whitening treatment will remove staining since your crown/filling/veneer was installed. However, the original color will not change as it is not made of natural enamel. We use the “paint-on” method to customize each treatment to your preference.

  • We all have our own “genetic maximum white.” However, even your maximum white is usually much whiter than our current shade.

    Your new smile lasts as long as you maintain them. Someone who regularly stains their teeth (smoking, red wine & coffee consumption, etc.) will have to whiten more regularly than someone who does not have those habits IF they want to be white all the time.

  • Our process is formulated so you can whiten as often as you’d like. Some people do it every 2-3 months, 4-6months, while those people with NO staining habits last even a year or more before returning. Touch-ups take half the time (30-45mins) and half the price ($99-$149), making this a very convenient & affordable option.

  • You can start your whitening journey as young as 14 with a guardian’s signature. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Please consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding.

  • Yes, the expiration date is printed on the pen and lasts 1-2 years. Take-home kit gels do not need to be refrigerated. Just store it in a cool, dry place.

  • The main difference is the percentage of peroxide used, the intensity of the light, and the damage caused by the harsh chemical compound or overnight use. Although ours is lower than that of dental grade, it is much less abrasive on enamel and less damaging to the gums and soft tissue. If you think about it, should anything sit on your enamel for an extended period? Our dental-grade products do the same thing and yield the same result. Take our founder’s advice, no extremely harsh chemical will be “healthier” or more effective just because a dentist sold it to you.

  • You can whiten at our studio or book a mobile appointment. A $25 travel fee applies to mobile appointments and increases depending on your distance from our main location (10+ mi, 25+ mi, etc.). A full fee schedule is available upon request. We can accommodate all appointment types and party sizes.

  • Tooth gems are semi-permanent and last anywhere from 2 months to a year, sometimes longer! It can also be applied Temporarily to last from several days to several weeks!

  • Tooth gems eventually fall off on their own. They can also easily be removed by a dental professional. You should never attempt to remove your gems.

  • They don’t damage teeth! When properly placed & removed, and properly cared for, they are harmless to tooth enamel.

  • The crystals are lead-free Swarovski Crystals, the lab opals are silica and resin, and the gold charms range from 18k – 24k white or yellow gold.

  • They are applied to the surface of your teeth with a dental adhesive system, very similar to how an orthodontic bracket is placed. No drilling or pain!

  • They can be placed around wire-style retainers and most night guards but not under active alignment therapy. Please bring your appliance to your appointment so we can be sure!

    We love decorating aligners if you are in active alignment therapy!

  • Please do not touch your gem or play with it right after application. Do not eat for at least an hour. You can drink water right after! Eat softer foods for 12 hours following. Do not use an electric toothbrush on that tooth for 12 hours. Make sure you visit the dentist twice a year!

  • Gems can only be placed on natural teeth (enamel).

    If you are interested in applying gems on non-natural tooth structure, we can only use a temporary, clear solution that can be removed yourself and will last 2 weeks or so!

Luxury Teeth Adornments

Removable Grillz

  • Our Custom Fitted Grillz are made from 10K solid gold, 14K solid gold, 18K solid gold, or 22k solid gold. These grillz are the real deal and are custom-made for each person based on the impression of your teeth. Because these grillz are customized, we can choose from the different materials we offer, such as solid yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold. These grillz can also be iced out or made with different designs for a custom look.

    Jewelry comes in 10K-18K solid gold (yellow, white rose), depending on budget and preference. Pieces are often embellished with a variety of precious stones, including diamonds, as well as colored enamel.

    10K: Most affordable and hardest gold offered, making it durable again. Scratches are NOT recommended for smokers as they tarnish faster than other options—noticeable weight and tone difference compared to 18K but similar to 14K.

    14K: Affordable, beautiful, and long-lasting! Plus best option for embedding diamonds and most precious stones. Slight increase in the price of 10K.

    18K: Rich and warm in tone, and the ONLY option soft enough for Opal stones in your design. Pricier and easier to scratch than 14K & 10K.

  • Different types of gold karats are available in the gold market, which may confuse you when choosing the best option for your grill.

    18K Gold: Advantages and Disadvantages

    Advantages:- One of the most fantastic options for grillz, engagement rings, wedding bands, or other fine jewelry piece is 18K gold. 18K gold has a richer, warmer color than 10K and 14K gold due to its 75 percent gold content, making it a wonderful choice if you want your setting to have a rich, stunning color tone. When we set mini-opals in our grillz, we only use 18K Gold because the metal is soft enough to set the small opals. If you were to try to set the mini opals in 10K or 14K, they would shatter because the opals are very fragile, unlike diamonds.

    Disadvantages: It is more expensive than 14k or 10k gold and easy to scratch.

    14K Gold: Advantages and Disadvantages

    Advantages: Despite being affordable, 14k gold is just as elegant as the other metals. It's our recommended option for all diamond grillz or any gold jewelry featuring other gemstones. 14K gold is a gorgeous and long-lasting metal that is also reasonably priced. Personal choice, skin tone, and current trends should all play a role in your gold hue.

    Disadvantages:- Although more expensive than 10K gold, this option is still a reasonable investment.

    10K Gold: Advantages and Disadvantages

    Advantages:- The most affordable quality of gold for grillz and other jewelry is 10K gold. It's also the most durable. If you purchase your gold grillz from an experienced grillz manufacturer and gold caster, the 10K Yellow Gold will look identical to 14K Yellow Gold.

    Disadvantages:- Regarding looks, 10K is the least sought-after yellow gold grillz option. There is also a noticeable color difference and weight when comparing 10K to 18K gold: 18K is much denser and will be around 30% heavier.

  • The type of gold used in a grill dramatically impacts how it looks, feels, and lasts longer. Above all, making the proper decision can help you get the most bang for your dollar.

    For a consumer on a budget, 10K Gold is the best option because it will look identical to the 14K gold grill and cost substantially less.

  • The quick and easy answer is, “Yes, you should get a grill! Grillz are a great way to express your individuality and add flair to your wardrobe.”

    The majority of individuals are unsure about wearing a grill. They want to wear a grill, but they have many questions about getting it: Is it bad to wear a grill? When it comes to grillz, how long do they last? Is it true that a grill hurts your gums? How much does a grill cost? Is wearing a grill worth it? Etc.

    You should absolutely get a grill if you want to stand out and be noticed in this crowd. Grillz are the best option because so many different styles are available, and most people are “hooked” by someone's smile. A friendly smile and an excellent unique grill piece are fantastic ways to make a long-lasting impression.

    Gold Grillz are crafted of solid gold and are available in 10k, 14k, 18k, and 22k gold. You may select any gold hue for your grill (yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold). Diamond grillz have become almost more popular than solid gold grillz due to the bling and fantastic honeycomb diamond setting.

    Something we encourage all of our clients to do when designing their grillz is to add some customization that embodies who they are as a person. This can include a birthstone, custom engraving of one’s initials, or even incorporating a favorite logo. Design your grillz here.

    Seeing as grillz are the trendiest fashion accessory over the past 10+ years. It is highly recommended that you get yourself a custom grill piece. The best way to get started is by working with Luxx, and we will make sure you have a fantastic shopping experience and are in love with the finished piece!

  • The Grill should fit directly on top of your teeth, be snug, and stay on properly from the pressure of the gold on each side of your teeth.

    Custom grillz, also called removable grillz from a trusted manufacturer, should comfortably fit over your natural teeth and act as a functional fashion accessory. In essence, the grill will slide directly on top of your natural teeth and grip your teeth from the front side and the backside by applying pressure to the walls of your teeth.

    Wearing a grill should not cause pain to your teeth, nor should the grill move your teeth. A well-made set of grillz should fit snugly on top of your teeth and not fall off when you talk with the grill on. While it may take a little bit to get comfortable speaking with the grill on, it should not hurt your teeth, move your teeth, or easily fall off them.

  • The answer is yes and no. Yes, you physically can eat with your grill on, but it is not advised for several reasons:

    Eating with your grill on will make your grill dirty.

    Eating with your grill on can cause your gold teeth to get scratched from rough foods.

    Eating with your grill will allow bacteria to get between your grill and your teeth and will cause cavities.

    It is highly recommended that you take your grill off whenever you eat. After investing money into creating a custom grill piece, you should do your best to remove the gold teeth by removing them before you eat to keep the grill looking fresh and brand new.

    It is also recommended that you clean your teeth in between eating and putting your grill back on. You want to make sure there is no food or bacteria stuck between your teeth and the gold because this will irritate your enamel and increase the possibility of you having cavities.
