Permanent vs removable grillz: what matters in NSW

Two very different products, one name

"Grillz" covers two genuinely different things, and it's worth being clear about the difference before you spend any money. A removable grillz set is a custom cap or set of caps that slides over your natural teeth and comes back off whenever you want — nothing is attached to the tooth itself. A permanent set, sometimes sold as permanent tooth jewellery or bonded grillz, is fixed in place using dental cement or bonding, and taking it off again means more dental work.

Everything Grillz Sydney makes is removable. We don't offer, fit or recommend permanent bonding of any kind.

Why that's a deliberate choice, not just a style preference

Carrying out any procedure on a patient's teeth — including bonding an appliance, cementing a cap in place, or adjusting a tooth's surface to help something sit flush — is dentistry, and dentistry should only be carried out by a registered dental professional.

A jewellery studio, however skilled at casting metal and setting stones, is not a dental practice and has no basis to carry out procedures on anyone's teeth. That's precisely why our process stops at taking an impression and fitting a removable piece — the parts that are genuinely dentistry stay with dentists, and the parts that are jewellery-making stay with us.

What removable actually means in practice

A removable grillz set is cast from a dental-grade mould of your own teeth, either taken at an in-person appointment or sent back to us using a mould kit posted anywhere in NSW. The finished metal is shaped to grip your teeth snugly through its own fit — friction and the precision of the mould hold it in place, not glue or cement.

You can take it out to eat, clean your teeth normally, and put it back in whenever you like. Nothing about your natural teeth is altered to make it fit.

Questions worth asking before you buy permanent tooth jewellery

If you're considering a permanent option from any provider, it's worth checking some basic things first. These aren't scare tactics — they're the same questions you'd ask before any other dental procedure.

• Is the person fitting it a registered dental professional?
• What happens to the tooth surface during fitting, and is that change reversible?
• What's the plan if you want it removed later, and who carries that out?
• Has a dentist assessed your teeth and gums as suitable beforehand?

Our position

We make removable, custom-fitted grillz for people across Sydney and the wider NSW — nothing bonded, nothing drilled, nothing permanent. If you're set on a permanently bonded option, that's a conversation to have with a registered dentist, not a jewellery studio. We're always happy to talk through what a removable set can and can't do if you're weighing up the two.
