How much do grillz cost and how do you choose the right model?

Grillz have become a must-have fashion accessory, combining urban style, luxury, and customization. But many customers ask themselves the same question: what is the price of a grillz? The answer depends on several essential criteria: the type of grillz, the materials used (silver, solid gold, gold-plated, diamonds), the number of teeth covered, and custom options (special cuts, set stones, exclusive designs).

At Emirice, we offer grillz for all budgets, ranging from less than €50 for ready-made models to several thousand euros for custom-made solid gold pieces set with diamonds. Discover a detailed guide below to understand the different price ranges and find the perfect grillz for you.

What is the price of a grillz?

  • Affordable ready-made grillz: starting from €9.99 for a simple model and around €49.99 for an "iced out" set with cubic zirconia. Ideal for getting started without breaking the bank.
  • Custom sterling silver grillz: from €50, made from a dental impression for a perfect fit.
  • Solid gold grillz: available in 10K, 14K, or 18K, from €200 to over €1,800 depending on the number of teeth and the purity of the gold.
  • Diamond-set grillz: high-end pieces with natural VS diamonds, which can reach €8,700 or more depending on the size and quality of the stones.

Why is there such a difference in price?

The price of a grillz is mainly influenced by two factors:

  • Material: solid gold, platinum, or diamonds naturally drive up the price.
  • Design complexity: a grillz embedded with precious stones, featuring fangs or deep cuts, requires more artisanal work than a classic model.

Example: the diamond-set grillz worn by Katy Perry is worth nearly one million euros, due to its exclusive materials and unique design.

Which styles and materials are the most popular?

If you are hesitating between several models, here are the current trends:

  • Iced Out Grillz: set with CZ stones or diamonds, they offer maximum shine and are reminiscent of the style of Johnny Dang or Paul Wall.
  • Solid Gold Grillz: timeless and elegant, in 10K, 14K, or 18K, they do not tarnish and provide a touch of refined luxury.
  • Classic grillz without diamonds: sober and versatile, perfect for a discreet but stylish look.

Should I choose a classic grillz or a diamond grillz?

It all depends on your budget and your style:

  • Classic solid gold grillz: ideal for those who want a durable, elegant, and timeless piece of jewelry.
  • CZ iced-out grillz: starting from €24.99, perfect for shining without breaking your budget.
  • Natural diamond iced-out grillz: for luxury lovers, an investment that guarantees a unique and sparkling piece.

Conclusion: how to choose your grillz?

Whether you are tempted by a ready-made gold-plated grillz at a low price or by a custom solid gold grillz encrusted with diamonds, the most important thing is to define your style and your budget. Grillz are more than just jewelry; they are true symbols of identity and personal expression.

"A well-chosen grillz is not just an accessory, it is a signature. Shine according to your style, whether it is discreet, bold, or luxurious."

Grillz price: the 5 factors that really impact the bill

Two grillz can look identical in a photo and cost ten times less than each other. Five parameters explain almost the entire gap.

1. Material

This is the primary lever. Gold-plated has nothing in common with solid gold in terms of weight: on a dental piece, solid gold represents several grams of metal charged at the daily market rate.

2. Number of teeth covered

The price is almost proportional to the number of teeth. Moving from 6 to 8 teeth on a solid gold tooth grillz mechanically increases the weight of the metal by about a third.

3. Custom vs. Non-Custom

A ready-made grillz comes out of a standard mold. A custom grillz requires an impression, a model, casting, and manual adjustment. These are hours of workshop labor being charged.

4. Stones

Cubic zirconia costs little, moissanite a bit more, lab-grown diamonds significantly more, and natural diamonds top everything else. For the same surface area, the difference can be multiplied several times over.

5. Setting type

A dense pave setting placed stone by stone requires ten times more work than a smooth band. It is often the labor, more than the material, that explains the price of an iced-out model.

Price of a grillz based on the number of teeth

This is the most concrete question, and the one people most often forget to ask before comparing two quotes.

Configuration Teeth Covered Visibility Relative Budget Weight
Single tooth 1 Discreet, often a canine Most accessible
Duo 2 Symmetrical, visible when smiling Approx. x2
Standard 6 The entire smile zone x5 to x6
Full top 8 Full effect on the upper arch x7 to x8
Top + bottom 16 to 20 The famous “full set” x14 and up

Practical advice: most people overestimate what is actually visible. In photos and conversation, it is the top six teeth that carry the entire effect. Starting there is often the best impact/budget ratio.

Configuration 6 dents — la plus demandée les dents grisées restent naturelles

Price based on material: the complete comparison

Material Price Level Lifespan For whom
Gold-plated brass Very accessible A few months with occasional use Trying the style without commitment
925 Silver Accessible Several years with maintenance First custom piece
10K Gold Intermediate Very long Best durability/price ratio
14K Gold High Very long The standard for custom pieces
18K Gold Very high Very long, softer metal Seeking deep color
Gold + moissanite High Very long Mastered iced-out effect
Gold + diamonds Very high Very long Exceptional piece

Why 10K is often the best choice

It may seem counterintuitive, but 10K gold is harder than 14K and 18K. On a dental piece subject to mechanical stress, this hardness is a real advantage for a lower material cost.

To understand the differences between alloys, read our guides on 10K vs 14K gold and 14K vs 18K gold.

Ready-made or custom: the true comparison

PRÉFABRIQUÉ SUR-MESURE + Budget contenu+ Disponible immédiatement+ Aucun moulage− Ajustement approximatif− Confort limité dans la durée + Ajustement parfait+ Confort de port supérieur+ Choix total des matières− Délai de fabrication− Budget nettement plus élevé deux logiques différentes, pas deux qualités du même produit

Ready-made is perfectly justified for occasional use: a clip for a party or a photoshoot. Custom becomes interesting as soon as wear becomes regular, because comfort makes all the difference.

Our complete guide to dental grillz details the differences in manufacturing and wear.

The mold: the step that determines everything

Without a faithful impression, even the best workshop will deliver an uncomfortable piece. This is the step not to rush.

How an at-home impression works

  1. Mix the impression putty and hardener until you get a uniform color.
  2. Spread it in the impression tray without overloading the edges.
  3. Position the tray well-centered on the target arch.
  4. Bite firmly and steadily, without moving, for the time indicated in the instructions.
  5. Remove with a swift motion and let it harden in the open air before shipping.

The three errors that inflate the budget

  • An impression that is too shallow: the gum lines are missing, and the piece won't stay on.
  • Moving during the setting time: the impression is blurred and unusable.
  • Waiting too long before shipping: some putties deform as they dry.

A botched impression means a kit to redo and weeks of delay. Take your time the first time.

Dental impression kit for custom grillz

The dental impression kit is the starting point for any custom grillz.

Costs we forget to count

Item When it appears How to avoid it
Impression kit All custom pieces Getting the impression right the first time
Adjustment rework Imperfect impression Follow the instructions to the letter
Storage box From the first grillz Never leave it exposed
Cleaning product Regular use Soft brush and lukewarm water are enough
Repolishing After 1 to 2 years of wear Careful storage
Dental check-up Frequent wear Limit daily wear time

These items rarely represent more than 10-15% of the total budget, but they surprise people when not anticipated.

8 tips to avoid overpaying

  1. Start with 6 top teeth. This is where 90% of the visual effect happens.
  2. Compare by weight, not photo. Always ask for the grammage for solid gold.
  3. Test the style with a ready-made one before investing in custom.
  4. Prioritize 10K if durability matters more than the hue.
  5. Choose moissanite instead of diamond for an iced-out look on a managed budget.
  6. Beware of prices that are too low for advertised solid gold. Demand the hallmark.
  7. Avoid fang designs if you are a beginner: more expensive and harder to wear.
  8. Take care of the piece from day one. Repolishing costs more than a box.

Removable vs. permanent grillz: what changes

A classic grillz is meant to be put on and taken off. Some practices offer pieces that are glued in the mouth for extended periods: that is a completely different subject, with oral health implications.

Our position is simple and consistent: a grillz must remain removable, be taken out for eating and sleeping, and never replace professional dental care.

Points of caution are detailed in grillz and teeth: dangers to be aware of. This is not medical advice, just common-sense benchmarks.

Men's grillz, women's grillz: does the price change?

No, not in itself. The price follows the material, the number of teeth, and the setting, not the gender of the person wearing it.

In practice, requested configurations differ slightly: thinner models on fewer teeth versus wider, paved pieces. It is this difference in configuration that creates the observed budget gap.

And rappers' grillz, how much do they cost?

The pieces seen in music videos are not comparable to the current market. These are one-off custom orders, in natural diamonds, with dozens of hours of setting work.

They serve as a showcase, not a price reference. Looking at them to assess a realistic budget is like judging the price of a car by a Formula 1 racer.

For the culture: the history of Johnny Dang and how much rappers pay for their jewelry.

Maintaining your grillz: the annual budget

The daily routine

  • Remove the piece before eating and drinking anything other than water.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water after each use.
  • Brush the inside very gently with a soft brush, without abrasive toothpaste.
  • Dry completely before storing in a box.
  • Brush your teeth before putting the piece back on.

What you must never do

No bleach, no boiling baths, no ultrasonic cleaning on a piece set with glued stones. And above all, never wear continuously day and night.

For tarnished gold, apply the method from our cleaning gold jewelry guide.

FAQ — grillz pricing

How much does a grillz cost on average?

A ready-made model is in the tens of euros, a custom silver one in the hundreds, and a solid gold one set with diamonds can reach several thousand euros. It all depends on the material and the number of teeth.

What is the price of a grillz tooth-by-tooth?

The price is almost proportional to the number of teeth covered because the weight of the metal drives the cost. Going from six to eight teeth increases the bill by about a third on solid gold.

Why does a custom grillz cost more?

Because it requires an impression, a model, casting, and manual workshop adjustment. These represent hours of labor that do not exist for a ready-made model produced from a standard mold.

Is 10K gold a bad choice for a grillz?

On the contrary. 10K gold is harder than 14K and 18K, which is a real advantage for a dental piece at a lower material cost.

Do I need an impression kit to order a grillz?

Yes for any custom-made piece: the impression determines the fit and comfort. Prefabricated models, on the other hand, are worn without prior molding.

Does a grillz damage your teeth?

A grillz must remain removable, be taken out for eating and sleeping, and never replace dental care. Prolonged or permanent wear exposes you to oral hygiene problems.

In summary: define the budget before the model

The price of a grillz does not depend on chance: material, number of teeth, custom-made or not, stones and setting. Define these five points, and the price range narrows immediately.

For a first purchase, six top teeth in plated or silver allow you to see if the style suits you, before considering solid gold.
