How Custom Grillz Work

Custom grillz are made from a mold of your own teeth. Here's the full process, start to finish. Every set we make begins with a dental impression you take at home, which is why your grillz fit so well: they're built from your exact bite, not a generic size.

How long do custom grillz take?

Plan on 4 to 8 weeks from order to delivery, depending on the design. Once your approved impression goes into production, most sets are finished in 7 to 10 days before shipping. More detailed designs and our busiest seasons can take longer. The biggest thing you control is how quickly you send your impression back.

Stage Typical time
Impression kit ships Next business day
Taking your impression at home About 5 minutes
Production once your impression is approved 7 to 10 days on average
Total, order to delivery 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the design

The 4-Step Process

Step 1: Place your order

Choose your style, karat (silver, 10K, or 14K gold), and options. Every custom grillz order includes a professional dental impression kit with the same dentist-grade silicone putty used in dental offices.

Step 2: Your impression kit arrives first

Your kit ships the next business day. Inside: putty, trays, step-by-step instructions, and a prepaid return mailer. This is the part most first-time buyers don't expect: the kit comes first, not the grillz.

Step 3: Take your impression and send it back

Mixing the putty and taking your mold takes about 5 minutes. Mail it back in the prepaid mailer the same day if you can. The sooner your impression reaches us, the sooner your set goes into production. For the complete walkthrough with the most common mistakes to avoid, read our step-by-step impression guide.

Step 4: We handcraft your set

Once your impression arrives, we inspect it for accuracy, then our craftsmen build your grillz from your exact mold. Production averages 7 to 10 days, and more detailed designs can take longer. When your set ships, you'll get tracking by email.

Common Questions

How long do custom grillz take in total?

4 to 8 weeks from order to delivery, depending on the design. That covers kit shipping, your turnaround on the impression, production (7 to 10 days on average once your impression is approved), and return shipping. Returning your impression quickly is the biggest factor you control.

Will they really fit?

Yes, that's the whole point of the impression process. Your grillz are made from a mold of your own teeth, so they are made to fit you individually. Because every smile is different, designs may differ slightly based on your dental structure. Fit is guaranteed to the impressions you provide. See our Gold Time Guarantee.

What if my impression doesn't come out right?

Your kit includes enough putty for multiple attempts. If you're not sure your mold is clean, text us a photo before mailing it, and we'll tell you if it will work.

What if I have a gap or missing teeth?

You can still get custom grillz. Gaps can be preserved, closed, or bridged with a decorative bar; missing teeth are usually workable as long as the neighboring teeth are healthy. Full breakdown in our grillz with gaps or missing teeth guide, and text (254) 294-7865 with a photo of your smile before ordering so we can confirm what will work.

Can I order just the impression kit first?

Yes. Our DIY impression kit is available on its own, and the cost is credited toward your custom grillz order.

Can I return custom grillz?

Because every set is made from your own mold, custom grillz are final sale. If a fit issue traces back to our craftsmanship, we refit or remake it. See our Grillz Policy for the full details.
