Custom design enquiries welcome. ## Every grillz style, explained URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/grillz-styles A grillz set is really four decisions: how many teeth, which metal, which finish, and whether it's iced. This guide walks each one so you can order with an actual specification instead of a vibe. **Key points** - Sterling silver is the cheapest entry point and can always be re-polished; gold holds its shine longest and holds resale value. - Most first sets are the top six front teeth; single caps and top-two are the most common budget starts. - Iced sets price on stone type and stone count, not just the metal — CZ, moissanite and diamond can differ by an order of magnitude. - Every set here is cast from an impression of your own teeth — no drilling, no filing, fully removable. ### Step 1 — coverage: how many teeth Coverage is the biggest single driver of both look and price. Metal is sold by weight, so a full top row costs roughly three times a top-two in the same material. Start with what shows when you actually smile and talk — for most people that's four to six teeth on top, and six to eight on the bottom because the lower smile line is wider. A single cap on one canine or one incisor is the cheapest way to wear real gold. A bottom eight reads as the loudest set per baht spent, because the lower row is what people see when you talk. | Coverage | Who it suits | Relative cost | | --- | --- | --- | | Single cap (1 tooth) | First piece, subtle daily wear, one canine or incisor | Lowest | | Top two | Classic starter, centre teeth only | Low | | Top six / bottom six | The standard smile-line set most people order | Medium | | Bottom eight | Maximum visual impact when speaking | Medium-high | | Full top and bottom | Performance, photo and stage sets | Highest | ### Step 2 — metal: silver, gold, karat and colour Sterling silver (925) is the entry material. It polishes to a hard mirror, it's light in the mouth, and it's cheap enough to experiment with shapes. It will tarnish over time — that's normal for silver — and a quick polish brings it straight back. Gold is priced by karat and by weight, so the same six-tooth design costs different money in 10K and 18K. Karat is a hardness/colour trade-off: 10K is the hardest and palest, 14K is the everyday sweet spot, 18K is the deepest yellow and the softest. White gold is rhodium-plated and needs re-plating eventually; rose gold sits between the two in tone and hardness. Gold-plated silver exists and looks the part on day one, but plating on a surface your saliva and teeth touch all day will wear through at the contact points. If you want the gold look for years rather than months, solid gold — even a small single cap — is the honest answer. | Metal | Character | Maintenance | | --- | --- | --- | | Sterling silver 925 | Bright white mirror, lightest cost | Tarnishes; polish occasionally | | 10K gold | Palest yellow, hardest, most scratch-resistant | Very low | | 14K gold | The daily-wear standard — good colour, good durability | Very low | | 18K gold | Deepest yellow, softest, most premium feel | Handle with care | | White gold | Cool silver tone with gold value | Re-plate rhodium periodically | | Rose gold | Warm pink tone, distinctive on camera | Very low | ### Step 3 — iced: CZ, moissanite or diamond Setting stones is hand labour, so an iced set is priced on three things: the stone type, how many stones, and how they're set. A flooded top six can hold well over a hundred stones — the setting time alone is what separates a plain set from an iced one on the invoice. Cubic zirconia is the budget option and looks excellent in photos; it can cloud and scratch over a long life of wear. Moissanite is the value pick — near-diamond hardness, more fire than diamond under club lighting, a fraction of the price. Natural or lab diamonds are for people who want the real stone and the value that goes with it. | Stone | Sparkle | Hardness | Cost | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Cubic zirconia (CZ) | Very bright when new | Softest of the three | Lowest | | Moissanite | Highest fire, rainbow flash | 9.25 Mohs — very hard | Mid | | Lab diamond | Classic diamond look | 10 Mohs | High | | Natural diamond | Classic, with resale value | 10 Mohs | Highest | ### Step 4 — finish, cut and custom shapes Finish is what stops a set looking like a slab of metal. Deep cut carves grooves between each tooth so a solid bar still reads as individual teeth. Open face frames the tooth and leaves the enamel showing in the middle — the most understated way to wear gold. A satin or brushed finish kills the mirror glare for a heavier, more matte look on camera. Shapes we're asked for most: vampire fangs on the canines, pointed or extended canines, bar links running across two or more teeth, engraved lettering and initials, diamond-dust texture, and mixed metal sets where the canines are a different colour from the incisors. - Open face — gold frame, natural tooth visible in the centre - Deep cut — carved separations so each tooth reads individually - Fangs — pointed canines, short or extended - Bar link — one continuous bar across several teeth - Engraving — initials, lettering, patterns cut into the face - Mixed metal — gold canines with silver or white gold incisors ### Putting it together A complete order reads like this: "top six, 14K yellow, deep cut, moissanite on the two centre teeth." If you can say that, we can quote it same day. If you can't, send a straight-on photo of your smile and tell us the budget — we'll come back with two or three specs that fit it. ### Frequently asked questions **Q: How many teeth should my first grillz cover?** A: Six on top is the safe default — it covers the full smile line without the weight or cost of a full row. If the budget is tight, a top two or a single canine cap gives you real metal on your teeth for a fraction of the price and can be extended into a bigger set later. **Q: Is 14K or 18K better for grillz?** A: 14K for a set you wear regularly: it's harder, resists scratching from normal handling, and costs less for the same design. 18K if colour matters more than durability — it's noticeably richer in yellow, and it's the usual choice for statement or photo sets. **Q: Do silver grillz turn your teeth black?** A: No. Silver tarnish is a surface film on the metal, not a stain that transfers into enamel. What does discolour teeth is wearing any set for long stretches without cleaning underneath — plaque and trapped food debris, not the metal itself. Clean the set and brush before you put it back in. **Q: Is moissanite good for grillz?** A: It's the best value in an iced set. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it survives daily handling far better than CZ, it throws more coloured fire than diamond under stage and club lighting, and it lets you ice a full row for what a few diamond teeth would cost. **Q: What's the most popular grillz style in Bangkok?** A: A polished top six in silver or 14K gold, with the option of icing the two centre teeth. It photographs well, it's comfortable enough to wear for a full night out, and it's the price point most people are comfortable starting at. **Q: Can you copy a style from a photo?** A: Yes. Send the reference and we'll tell you honestly what carries over to your teeth and what doesn't — tooth shape, gum line and spacing change how a design sits, so a copy is usually an adaptation rather than a duplicate. ## From impression to fitted set URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/how-it-works Custom grillz aren't bought off a shelf — they're cast from a mould of your own teeth. Here's every stage, what happens at each one, and what's expected of you. **Key points** - The impression appointment takes about 20–30 minutes. - Plain silver is the fastest turnaround; gold and hand-set stones take longer. - Nothing is drilled, filed or bonded — the finished set is fully removable. - Out of town? Ask about a mail-out impression kit before you book flights. ### 1. Consultation and spec We start with three questions: which teeth, which metal, and what's the budget. From there we'll tell you what's realistic — including when a smaller set in a better material beats a bigger set in a cheaper one. Send a straight-on smile photo if you can; tooth shape and gum line change what a design will actually look like on you. ### 2. The dental impression This is the part that decides whether the set fits. We load a tray with dental-grade alginate, seat it over the arch, and hold it for a couple of minutes while it sets. It's not painful — the worst of it is the texture and a brief urge to gag, which passes if you breathe through your nose and lean slightly forward. We check the impression immediately for bubbles and drag marks around the gum line. If it isn't clean, we take it again on the spot — a re-take costs two minutes now versus a set that rocks on your teeth for years. - Brush before you come — a clean surface gives a sharper mould. - Tell us about crowns, veneers, braces or a recent extraction. - If you have ongoing dental treatment, finish it first — teeth move. ### 3. Model, wax-up and casting The impression is poured in dental stone to make an exact model of your teeth. The design is built on that model in wax — this is where coverage, deep cuts, fang length and open-face windows are actually shaped. The wax is then invested and cast in your chosen metal using lost-wax casting, the same method used for fine jewellery. ### 4. Hand finishing and stone setting The raw casting is filed, sanded through grits, then polished on a wheel until the surface is a mirror. If your set is iced, seats are cut for each stone by hand under a microscope and the stones are set one at a time — this is the slowest stage and the reason iced sets quote higher. ### 5. Fitting and adjustment You try the set on and we check three things: it seats fully without pressure points, it holds without you clenching, and it comes out cleanly. Small adjustments happen there and then. A correctly fitted set has a light friction grip — it should not need glue, wax or your tongue holding it in place. ### If you're not in Bangkok yet Two options. Book the impression for the first day of your trip so the set is ready before you fly out — tell us your dates before you arrive and we'll say honestly whether it's achievable. Or ask about a mail-out impression kit: you take the mould yourself following our instructions, ship it back, and we work from that. ### Aftercare that keeps a set alive - Take them out to eat — chewing loads the caps and traps food underneath. - Never sleep in them. - Brush the inside and outside with a soft brush and warm soapy water. - Dry fully before storing — moisture in a closed box accelerates tarnish. - Keep ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals away from stone-set pieces. - Brush your own teeth before putting the set back in. ### Frequently asked questions **Q: Does taking a grillz impression hurt?** A: No. It's the same alginate impression a dentist uses for a retainer. It's cold and it feels strange for about two minutes, and then it's done. There's no drilling, no injection and no numbing needed. **Q: What if the finished set doesn't fit right?** A: Tell us at the fitting. Most fit issues are minor and adjustable on the spot; anything structural we deal with properly rather than sending you away with a set that rocks. Don't try to bend a cast set yourself — metal that's been work-hardened can crack. **Q: How long does a custom grillz set take to make?** A: Plain silver is the fastest; gold takes longer because of casting and finishing, and hand-set stones add the most time of all. Message us with your dates before you commit and we'll confirm a realistic turnaround rather than a hopeful one. **Q: Can I get grillz made in one day in Bangkok?** A: A cast, custom-fitted set genuinely can't be made in a few hours — the mould has to set, the model has to cure, and casting and polishing take their own time. Anyone promising a same-day custom set is either pre-making generic sizes or cutting a step that decides your fit. Tell us your travel dates and we'll plan around them. ## Grillz prices in Bangkok, per tooth URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/pricing Here is our full price list in Thai baht, charged per tooth so you can build any set exactly. Plain silver starts at ฿2,000 a tooth and diamond-set work starts at ฿4,000. White, yellow and rose gold are all available, and custom design enquiries are welcome. **Key points** - Plain silver starts at ฿2,000 per tooth; plain 9K gold ฿7,000, 14K ฿10,000, 18K ฿12,000. - Diamond-set starts at ฿4,000 per tooth in silver with VVS moissanite. - Prices are per tooth — a top six is six times the per-tooth rate. - Plain designs take 5–10 days (fast track 2–3); dental chrome/gold and diamond-set take 10–15 days. - White, yellow and rose gold available; custom design enquiries welcome. ### How to read the price list A common example: a plain silver top six is 6 × ฿2,000 = ฿12,000. The same six teeth in plain 14K gold is 6 × ฿10,000 = ฿60,000, and iced in VVS lab diamond it's 6 × ฿15,500 = ฿93,000. Send us the teeth you want covered and we'll confirm the exact total before you pay a deposit. - Every price is per tooth — pick your teeth, multiply, and that's the set. - Metal and karat move the number most: silver, dental chrome, then 9K, 14K, 18K. - Stone choice is the second lever: VVS moissanite, VVS lab diamond, then natural VS diamond. - White, yellow and rose gold are the same price at the same karat. - Custom design work — deep cuts, open face, engraving, fangs — is quoted on top; just ask. ### Plain grillz price list (per tooth) These are our standard per-tooth prices in Thai baht. Multiply by the number of teeth you want covered — a top six in plain silver is 6 × ฿2,000, for example. White, yellow and rose gold are all available at the same karat price. | Plain grillz | Price per tooth (THB) | | --- | --- | | Plain silver | ฿2,000 | | Plain dental gold and chrome | ฿2,500 | | Plain 9K gold | ฿7,000 | | Plain 14K gold | ฿10,000 | | Plain 18K gold | ฿12,000 | ### Diamond grillz price list (per tooth) Stone-set prices are also per tooth and include the hand setting. Moissanite is the value option, lab diamond is the middle, and natural VS diamond is the top tier. | Diamond grillz | Price per tooth (THB) | | --- | --- | | Silver, VVS moissanite | ฿4,000 | | Silver, VVS lab diamond | ฿5,000 | | 9K gold, VVS moissanite | ฿10,000 | | 9K gold, VS lab diamond | ฿13,000 | | 9K gold, natural VS diamond | ฿18,000 | | 14K gold, VVS lab diamond | ฿15,500 | | 14K gold, natural VS diamond | ฿21,000 | | 18K gold, VVS lab diamond | ฿20,500 | | 18K gold, natural VS diamond | ฿26,000 | ### Production time Production starts once your impression is taken and the deposit is confirmed. Times may vary with order volume, especially in high season. | Design | Turnaround | | --- | --- | | Plain design | 5–10 days (fast track 2–3 days) | | Dental chrome / gold | 10–15 days | | Diamond-set design | 10–15 days | ### How to compare two quotes properly A quote that is dramatically cheaper than everyone else is usually plated base metal, a pre-made size, or hollow casting so thin it dents. None of those are scams exactly — they're just a different product, and you should know which one you're buying before you pay a deposit. - Ask whether the price is solid metal or plated. - Ask the karat, and whether the piece is stamped. - Ask the estimated gram weight of the finished set. - Ask the stone type by name — "diamond look" is not a material. - Ask whether a real dental impression is taken, or a generic tray size. - Ask what happens if the fit is wrong at collection. ### Frequently asked questions **Q: How much do grillz cost in Bangkok?** A: Prices are per tooth. Plain silver is ฿2,000, plain dental gold or chrome ฿2,500, plain 9K gold ฿7,000, 14K ฿10,000 and 18K ฿12,000. Diamond-set work starts at ฿4,000 per tooth for silver with VVS moissanite and runs up to ฿26,000 per tooth for 18K gold set with natural VS diamonds. A six-tooth top set is simply six times the per-tooth rate. **Q: How long does production take?** A: Plain designs take 5–10 days, with a fast track available in 2–3 days. Dental chrome or gold and diamond-set designs take 10–15 days. Production time may vary depending on order volume. **Q: Do you take a deposit?** A: Custom work is made to your mouth and can't be resold, so a deposit is standard before casting starts. We'll confirm the amount and the balance terms in writing with your quote. **Q: Are cheap grillz worth it?** A: A cheap solid silver set from a real impression is excellent value. A cheap plated one-size set is the thing to avoid — it fits loosely, the plating wears at the contact points within months, and a loose set is the one that actually causes gum irritation. ## Grillz questions, answered properly URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/faq Everything people ask us before a first set — grouped by topic, answered without sales talk. If your question isn't here, message us and we'll add it. **Key points** - Removable custom grillz don't alter teeth — nothing is drilled, filed or bonded. - Never eat or sleep with grillz in; clean them and your teeth daily. - Fit comes from a real dental impression, not a one-size tray. - Braces, crowns, veneers or ongoing dental work change what's possible — tell us first. ### Safety and dental health ### Wearing them day to day ### Fit and making ### Cleaning and care ### Visitors, travel and shipping ### Frequently asked questions **Q: Do grillz damage your teeth?** A: A properly fitted removable set doesn't alter the tooth — nothing is drilled, filed or glued. Damage comes from three avoidable things: a loose set that rubs the gum line, wearing a set while eating so food packs underneath, and never cleaning what sits against your enamel. Fit it right, take it out to eat, clean it daily, and your teeth are unaffected. **Q: Can grillz cause cavities or gum disease?** A: Indirectly, yes — any appliance that traps plaque against enamel raises the risk if it's worn constantly and cleaned rarely. That's a hygiene problem, not a metal problem. Remove the set to eat, brush your teeth and the set daily, and keep your normal dental check-ups. **Q: Can I wear grillz with braces?** A: Not over fixed braces. Brackets change the tooth surface, teeth are actively moving, and a cast set would stop fitting within weeks. Finish treatment, let the teeth settle, then take the impression. **Q: What about crowns, veneers or implants?** A: All workable — we just need to know in advance so the design doesn't put leverage on restoration edges. Tell us which teeth are restored when you book. **Q: Are grillz safe for teenagers?** A: Growing jaws and teeth that are still moving make a cast set a poor investment, and hygiene discipline matters more at that age, not less. We'd rather say wait than sell a set that stops fitting. **Q: Can you eat with grillz in?** A: Take them out. Chewing loads the caps in directions they weren't cast for, and food packs between the metal and the enamel where a toothbrush doesn't reach. Water is fine; sugary drinks while wearing are the worst combination there is. **Q: Can you sleep in grillz?** A: No. Saliva flow drops overnight, so anything trapped sits against the tooth for hours, and unconscious clenching can stress both the set and your teeth. **Q: Will grillz change how I talk?** A: Slightly, for a day or two. S and T sounds are the ones that take adjustment, more with a top set than a bottom. Practise talking at home before you wear a new set out. **Q: Can you smoke or vape with grillz in?** A: You can, but heat and tar accelerate tarnish on silver and dull the polish on any metal. Expect to clean more often. **Q: How long does a set last?** A: Solid gold, cared for, is effectively a lifetime piece — it can be re-polished indefinitely. Silver lasts as long but needs polishing more often. What ends a set early is almost always a lost or bent piece, not wear. **Q: Why do I need a mould instead of buying a size?** A: Because no two mouths share a tooth curve. A pre-made size grips two teeth and floats over the rest — that's the set that rocks, slips when you talk and rubs the gum. A cast set grips every tooth evenly. **Q: Do I have to be in Bangkok for the impression?** A: In person is the most accurate and we recommend it. If you can't, ask about a mail-out impression kit and we'll explain whether it suits your case before you buy anything. **Q: Can you make a set that fits over a missing tooth?** A: Often yes — a bar can bridge the gap cosmetically. It is a cosmetic piece, not a prosthetic replacement, and it doesn't restore chewing function. Show us the gap and we'll tell you what looks right. **Q: Can existing grillz be resized or repaired?** A: Send photos and describe the problem. Re-polishing, re-setting a lost stone and minor adjustments are routine; a badly distorted or thin plated piece is usually better remade than rescued. **Q: How do I clean grillz?** A: Soft brush, warm water, a drop of mild soap. Brush the inside surface as carefully as the outside, rinse, then dry completely before it goes in the box. Do this daily if you wear the set daily. **Q: Can I use jewellery cleaner or an ultrasonic bath?** A: Not on stone-set pieces — harsh dips can attack settings and ultrasonics can shake loose a stone that was already marginal. Plain polished silver or gold tolerates a gentle clean, but soap and a brush is enough. **Q: My silver set went dark — is it ruined?** A: No, that's tarnish and it's on the surface. A polishing cloth brings it back; a full re-polish restores it completely. Store it dry and it happens far more slowly. **Q: A stone fell out. Can you replace it?** A: Yes — bring or send the set. Keep the stone if you found it, but a replacement can be matched either way. Stop wearing the piece until it's re-set so the empty seat doesn't deform. **Q: I'm in Bangkok for a week — can I get a set made?** A: Often yes, if you book the impression for the start of your trip and keep the spec realistic. Message your exact dates before you arrive; we'll tell you honestly what fits in the window rather than promising and rushing the finish. **Q: Can you ship the finished set to my country?** A: Tell us the destination and we'll confirm the shipping options, timing and what customs usually looks like for precious metal into that country. **Q: Can I fly with grillz?** A: Yes — carry them in hand luggage in a hard case, as you would any other jewellery. Don't pack a gold set in checked baggage. ## Guides and articles ### Getting grillz made in Bangkok: a visitor's guide URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/blog/getting-grillz-bangkok-visitor-guide A lot of our work is for people who are in Bangkok for a week or two. It works well — as long as the impression happens early in the trip rather than the day before your flight. This is everything worth knowing before you book. #### Leave the right amount of time Book your impression in the first few days of your trip. That leaves room for casting, finishing and — most importantly — a fitting where we can adjust before you leave. Turnaround depends on the set. Plain silver is fastest; gold takes longer because of casting; anything with hand-set stones takes longest of all. Message us your dates before you fly and we'll tell you honestly what fits into your window. #### What to bring to the appointment You don't need much, but a few things make the session faster and the result closer to what you pictured. - Reference photos of sets you like — shape, finish, stone coverage. - A clear idea of which teeth you want covered, or bring questions and we'll advise. - Your travel dates, so we can plan the fitting around them. - Clean teeth — brush beforehand; the impression captures whatever is there. #### How the appointments run The impression itself is quick and painless: a soft material in a tray, a couple of minutes of biting gently, done. We discuss design at the same visit — metal, karat, tooth count, finish and stone work — and confirm the price and timeline before any work starts. The second visit is the fitting. We check the seat on every tooth, look at how it sits when you close and speak, and adjust anything that presses. Never accept a set you haven't tried on. #### Flying home with your set Carry it in your hand luggage in its case, never in checked baggage. It is jewellery, and it is a piece that only fits one person on earth. Keep the receipt with you. It helps with customs questions if they come up, and it is your record of the metal and stone specification if you ever need repair or valuation later. #### If you run out of time It happens — plans change, trips get cut short. Talk to us before you leave rather than after. Depending on how far along the set is, we can usually finish it and ship it, or arrange a mould kit so the impression stays valid. The one thing that never works is rushing a fitting on the way to the airport. A set that has not been checked in your mouth is a set that may never get worn. **Q: Can I get grillz made in one day in Bangkok?** A: Same-day work means either a pre-made set or a rushed fit. For custom work, plan on multiple visits across several days — the fitting appointment is the part you cannot skip. **Q: Do I need to speak Thai?** A: No. We work in English and Thai, and this whole site is available in both. ### Custom-fitted vs pre-made grillz URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/blog/custom-vs-pre-made-grillz You can buy a set of grillz online tonight for the price of a meal. People still fly to Bangkok to have theirs made. Understanding why comes down to one thing: what the metal is shaped to. #### What pre-made actually means A pre-made set is cast to a generic tooth shape in a few sizes. Some come with a silicone bar you heat and bite into, moulding the silicone — not the metal — to your teeth. The cap itself never changes shape. That means the metal contacts your teeth at whatever few points happen to line up. Everywhere else there is a gap, and every gap collects food and moisture against your enamel. #### What custom means here We take a dental impression of your actual arch, pour a model from it, and build the caps on that model. The inside surface of each cap is a negative of your tooth, so it grips by shape rather than by pressure or adhesive. The visible result is different too. Custom caps follow your natural tooth outline, so the set reads as part of your smile instead of a plate sitting in front of it — which is exactly what pre-made sets look like in close-up photos. #### The safety difference Dental bodies are consistent about the risks of ill-fitting oral appliances, and they are the same risks we see when someone brings in a cheap set: trapped plaque, gum irritation, uneven bite pressure on a couple of teeth, and enamel wear where a hard edge rubs. None of these are dramatic overnight. They are slow, and they are avoidable with a set that distributes contact across the whole tooth surface. #### When pre-made is a reasonable choice We will say it plainly: if you want a set for one costume party, a music video, or to test whether you even like the look before spending real money, a pre-made set is fine. Wear it for the evening, take it out to eat, clean it, don't sleep in it. What it is not is a daily-wear piece, and it is not something to compare on price against custom work — they are different products. #### Mould kits by post Home impression kits sit between the two. Done carefully they produce a usable model; done badly — the most common outcome — they produce a distorted arch, and the workshop builds a perfect set to the wrong shape. If you can't get to Bangkok, ask us about a kit and we'll talk you through it properly before anything is cast. If you can get here, an in-person impression takes minutes and removes the guesswork entirely. **Q: Can pre-made grillz be adjusted to fit?** A: Only marginally. A jeweller can ease a pressure point, but the internal shape can't be re-cut to match your tooth. Adjustment fixes discomfort, not fit. **Q: How long does a custom set last?** A: A solid gold or silver set that is cleaned and stored properly lasts many years — the limiting factor is usually changes to your own teeth, not the metal. ### How to clean and care for your grillz URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/blog/how-to-clean-grillz Grillz sit in the warmest, wettest, most bacteria-friendly place on your body. Cleaning them is not about shine — it is about your gums and enamel. The good news is the routine takes minutes, and most of it is things you already own. #### The daily routine After each wear, rinse the set under warm running water and brush the inside and outside with a soft toothbrush kept only for that purpose. Add a drop of mild dish soap or plain hand soap. Rinse fully and dry with a soft cloth before it goes away — trapped moisture is what accelerates tarnish. Brush your own teeth before and after wearing. Anything left on your enamel spends the whole session sealed under metal, and that is where problems start. #### Weekly deep clean Once a week, soak in warm water with a little soap for ten to fifteen minutes, then brush again, paying attention to the inner edges where plaque collects. For plain metal sets you can add a splash of white vinegar to the soak to lift buildup. Skip the vinegar entirely on stone-set pieces. #### Dealing with tarnish on silver A silver polishing cloth handles light tarnish in a minute and is the safest option. For heavier tarnish on plain silver, a dedicated silver cleaner works, followed by a thorough rinse and dry. If your set has stones, don't reach for chemical dips. Bring it to us or another workshop for a professional polish — dips can attack settings and leave stones loose or cloudy. #### What never to use Most damage we repair comes from well-intentioned cleaning. Keep these away from your set entirely. - Bleach, chlorine and alcohol-based mouthwash — they attack alloys and dull the finish. - Ultrasonic cleaners on stone-set pieces — the vibration works settings loose. - Toothpaste with abrasives or baking soda — they leave a fine haze of scratches on polished metal. - Boiling water — a real risk to any adhesive or resin element, and to your fit. #### Wearing and storing Take them out to eat and never sleep in a set. Both put sustained pressure on the caps and trap debris against your teeth for hours. Store dry, in the case they came in. A closed case protects against knocks, keeps stone faces from rubbing, and slows tarnish by limiting air exposure. Loose in a pocket or handbag is how sets get bent. **Q: How often should I deep clean?** A: Weekly for a set you wear regularly. Occasional-wear sets can be cleaned before and after each outing plus a soak every month or two. **Q: My gums are sore after wearing. Is that normal?** A: Mild pressure on the first few wears settles quickly. Persistent soreness, bleeding or a sharp spot means the fit or the finish needs adjusting — stop wearing the set and bring it in. ### Iced-out grillz: diamonds, moissanite and CZ compared URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/blog/iced-out-grillz-guide Iced sets are the most photographed and the most misunderstood grillz we make. The stone name on the invoice gets all the attention, while the thing that decides whether your set still looks good in two years — the setting work — barely gets discussed. Let's fix that. #### How an iced set is actually built We cast or fabricate the caps from your impression first, then the setter works stone by stone. Each stone gets a seat cut into the metal, and metal is pushed or beaded over its edge to lock it in place. Nothing is glued. Because the seats are cut into the surface, an iced cap starts thicker than a plain one. That is deliberate — there has to be enough metal to hold stones without weakening the piece. #### The three stones, honestly All three sparkle. They differ in hardness, in how they throw light, and in price by orders of magnitude. - Cubic zirconia (CZ): the affordable option. Bright when new, but softer — it abrades and clouds with wear over time. Ideal for occasion sets and for testing a look. - Moissanite: nearly as hard as diamond with more fire (that rainbow flash). Holds up to daily wear at a fraction of diamond cost. This is the value pick for most people. - Natural diamond: hardest, most restrained white sparkle, and the only one that carries real resale value. The premium is significant and it is a genuine investment piece. #### Setting styles Two sets with identical stones can look completely different depending on how those stones are held. This is where craftsmanship shows. - Pavé: many small stones set close together for a continuous glitter. The most common iced look. - Flooded / fully iced: pavé taken across the entire visible face with minimal metal showing. - Channel and bar: stones held in a recessed line — cleaner, more geometric, very durable. - Accent setting: a handful of stones on an otherwise plain cap. Subtle, and far cheaper than full coverage. #### How to spot good setting work Look at the piece up close and in raking light. Stones should sit at a consistent height with even, tight spacing, no visible adhesive anywhere, and no dark gaps under the girdles. Run a fingernail across the surface — it should feel uniform, not snaggy. Ask what happens if a stone comes loose. A workshop that sets its own stones will offer to re-set it. One that outsources or glues will change the subject. #### Making iced sets last Take them out to eat. Biting into anything hard is how stones get knocked, and it is the single most common cause of damage we see. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, never ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals — vibration and solvents loosen settings. Store the set in its case rather than loose in a bag, so nothing rubs against the stone faces. **Q: Do iced grillz look fake in photos?** A: Quality moissanite and diamond both photograph extremely well. CZ can flatten out under bright flash once it has been worn a while and lost its polish. If photos are the point, moissanite is the value sweet spot. **Q: Can you ice an existing set?** A: Sometimes. It depends on whether the caps have enough metal thickness to take seats safely. Send photos and we'll tell you whether it's realistic or better remade. ### Gold or silver grillz: how to choose URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/blog/gold-vs-silver-grillz This is the first real decision you make, and it changes everything downstream — the price, the weight in your mouth, how the set ages, and how it photographs. Here is an honest comparison rather than a sales pitch for the more expensive option. #### Sterling silver Silver gives you the brightest, coolest, most mirror-like shine of any metal we work in, at the lowest price. It is the natural first set: affordable enough to experiment with a shape or a tooth count before committing to gold. The trade-off is tarnish. Silver reacts with air and moisture and will dull over time. That is normal and reversible — a polish brings it straight back — but it is maintenance you have to actually do. #### Gold, karat by karat Gold does not tarnish, feels heavier and more substantial, and keeps a resale value that silver does not. The karat you pick is a trade between colour and hardness. - 10K: hardest and most affordable. Paler yellow. Excellent for a set you wear constantly. - 14K: the most popular choice. Solid gold colour with enough hardness for daily wear. - 18K: deepest, richest yellow. Softer, so it marks more easily — best for occasion sets. #### White gold and rose gold White gold reads similar to silver from a distance but never tarnishes, which makes it a popular upgrade path for people who like the silver look but are tired of polishing. Rose gold sits warm against most skin tones and photographs beautifully, particularly with stone accents. #### Comfort and weight Gold is denser, so a gold set feels heavier than the same shape in silver. Most people stop noticing within a day, but if you are sensitive to that, a silver or 10K set is the lighter option. Whatever the metal, comfort comes down to fit far more than material. A well-moulded silver set is more comfortable than a poorly fitted 18K one, every single time. #### So which one? Buying your first set, or trying a shape you're unsure about? Start in silver. Wearing it most days, or want it to last decades and hold value? Go 14K gold. Building something for photos and occasions where colour depth matters most? 18K. Still torn? Tell us how often you expect to wear it and we'll tell you honestly which metal makes sense — including when the cheaper one is the better call. **Q: Will silver grillz turn my teeth black?** A: No. Tarnish sits on the metal surface, not your enamel. Any temporary marking comes from wearing an unclean set for long stretches, which cleaning and normal brushing resolves. **Q: Is gold plating worth it?** A: Plating over silver gives you the gold look at a silver price, but it wears through at the biting edges with regular use. It suits occasional wear; for a daily set, solid gold is the honest answer. ### What custom grillz actually cost in Bangkok URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/blog/grillz-price-bangkok Almost every enquiry we get starts with the same question: how much? There is no single answer, because a single silver cap and a fully iced ten-tooth set are different pieces of jewellery. What we can do is explain exactly which decisions move the price, so you can walk into any Bangkok workshop knowing what you are paying for. #### The four things that set the price Every quote you receive — from us or anyone else — is built from the same four variables. Once you know them, comparing two workshops becomes straightforward instead of guesswork. - Metal: sterling silver is the entry point. Gold is priced by weight and karat, so a 10K set costs meaningfully less than the same shape in 18K. - Number of teeth: pricing is usually per tooth. Two fangs, a six-tooth top and a full ten-tooth set are three very different budgets. - Stone work: plain and polished is the cheapest finish. Partial stone setting adds labour; a fully iced face is the most labour-intensive thing in the workshop. - Stone type: cubic zirconia, moissanite and natural diamond span an enormous range for a visually similar effect at arm's length. #### Why gold is quoted differently Silver is priced mostly on labour. Gold is priced on labour plus the metal itself, and the metal is weighed. That means the same design can vary in price between two people simply because one has larger teeth and needs more gold to cover them. Karat matters too. 10K and 14K are harder and cheaper; 18K is softer, richer in colour and more expensive. For a daily-wear set, 14K is the sweet spot most people land on. #### Where iced sets get expensive An iced set is not just the cost of the stones. Each stone sits in a seat that has to be cut into the metal by hand and then secured, and that hand-setting time is what you are really paying for. A tighter, more even stone layout takes longer and looks dramatically better. If your budget is fixed and you want maximum impact, a partially iced set on the front six teeth almost always beats a fully iced set made cheaply. Spread thin, stone work looks spread thin. #### What a cheap quote is usually hiding Bangkok has genuine bargains and it has traps. The traps tend to share the same tells, and every one of them ends with a set you stop wearing. - A fit taken from a photo or a guessed size instead of a real dental impression. - Plated base metal sold as solid — plating wears through at the biting edges within months. - Glued stones instead of set stones. They fall out, and they fall out in your mouth. - Rough, unpolished inner surfaces that irritate your gums until you take the set out for good. #### How to get an accurate quote Send three things and any decent workshop can price you properly: which teeth you want covered, the metal and karat you have in mind, and a reference photo of the finish you like. If you also have a deadline — a trip home, a shoot, a wedding — say so upfront, because turnaround affects what is realistic. Get in touch with those details and we'll come back with a real number and a real timeline, not a range designed to get you through the door. **Q: Is it cheaper to get grillz in Bangkok?** A: Labour and hand-setting cost less in Bangkok than in most Western cities, which is why so many people have their sets made here. Gold and stones are global commodities, so the saving comes from craftsmanship, not from the materials. **Q: Should I pay a deposit?** A: A deposit is normal for custom work, because your set cannot be resold to anyone else. What matters is that the total, the metal, the karat and the timeline are all agreed in writing before you pay it. ## Bangkok areas we serve ### Thonglor URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/thonglor · Watthana · BTS Thong Lo (Sukhumvit Line) Bangkok's nightlife and fashion strip, where a set gets seen the same night it's fitted. a short ride or a few BTS stops from the studio ### Ekkamai URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/ekkamai · Watthana · BTS Ekkamai (Sukhumvit Line) coffee shops by day, bars and car culture by night. one BTS stop past Thonglor ### Asoke URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/asoke · Watthana · BTS Asok / MRT Sukhumvit interchange the busiest interchange in the city — easy for anyone coming from either train line. a direct BTS or MRT connection ### Phrom Phong URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/phrom-phong · Khlong Toei · BTS Phrom Phong (Sukhumvit Line) luxury malls and expat living, a natural fit for gold and iced sets. a couple of BTS stops away ### Nana URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/nana · Watthana · BTS Nana (Sukhumvit Line) hotels, late nights and visitors who want a set before they fly out. minutes along the Sukhumvit line ### Siam URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/siam · Pathum Wan · BTS Siam interchange (Sukhumvit + Silom lines) the shopping centre of the city and the easiest meeting point in Bangkok. one interchange from almost anywhere on the BTS ### Silom URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/silom · Bang Rak · BTS Sala Daeng / MRT Si Lom offices by day, one of the loudest nights out in the city after dark. a straight run on the Silom line ### Sathorn URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/sathorn · Sathon · BTS Chong Nonsi / Surasak the business spine of Bangkok, where subtle single caps do well. a short BTS hop ### Sukhumvit URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/sukhumvit · Watthana / Khlong Toei · the whole BTS Sukhumvit Line the long spine of modern Bangkok — most of our clients live or stay somewhere along it. anywhere along the line by BTS ### On Nut URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/on-nut · Suan Luang · BTS On Nut (Sukhumvit Line) young Bangkok, condos and street food, big on affordable silver sets. a straight BTS run up Sukhumvit ### Bang Na URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/bangna · Bang Na · BTS Bang Na (Sukhumvit Line) the eastern gateway, easy for anyone driving in from Samut Prakan. a direct BTS ride or a quick drive on the expressway ### Ari URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/ari · Phaya Thai · BTS Ari (Sukhumvit Line) creative crowd, indie cafés and designers — where custom shapes get requested most. a straight BTS run down Phahonyothin ### Chatuchak URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/chatuchak · Chatuchak · BTS Mo Chit / MRT Chatuchak Park / MRT Kamphaeng Phet weekend market energy and the biggest jewellery-hunting crowd in the city. both BTS and MRT stop right there ### Ratchada URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/ratchada · Din Daeng / Huai Khwang · MRT Huai Khwang / Thailand Cultural Centre 24-hour Bangkok, and a strong local scene for iced-out silver. a direct MRT ride ### Huai Khwang URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/huai-khwang · Huai Khwang · MRT Huai Khwang (Blue Line) late-night food and a young crowd who wear their sets out, not in a box. one MRT stop from Ratchada ### Lat Phrao URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/ladprao · Chatuchak / Lat Phrao · MRT Lat Phrao / BTS Ha Yaek Lat Phrao big residential Bangkok, families and students in equal measure. an easy MRT connection ### Bang Kapi URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/bang-kapi · Bang Kapi · MRT Yellow Line (Lam Sali) / Airport Link Ramkhamhaeng student Bangkok — single caps and starter silver sets move fastest here. the Yellow Line makes it a straight run ### Ramkhamhaeng URL: https://grillzbangkok.com/areas/ramkhamhaeng · Bang Kapi / Suan Luang · Airport Rail Link Ramkhamhaeng / MRT Yellow Line hip-hop heavy, one of the strongest grillz scenes outside the centre.
