Custom Grillz London – The Complete 2026 Guide
London has become one of the most active grillz markets outside of the United States. Driven by the city's thriving grime, drill, and UK rap scenes, custom grillz have moved from niche to mainstream — and demand has been growing steadily year on year.
Whether you're based in London or anywhere else in the UK, this guide covers everything you need to know about getting custom grillz made: the process, the prices, what to look for, and what to avoid.
Grillz in London: A Brief History
Grillz have existed in various forms for thousands of years — ancient Etruscans used gold wire to hold teeth in place as far back as 700 BC — but the modern custom grillz movement was born in 1980s New York hip hop, where artists like Slick Rick and Big Daddy Kane wore gold teeth as symbols of wealth and status.
Nelly's 2005 hit "Grillz" brought them into mainstream pop culture globally. In the UK, the rise of grime and drill music in the 2010s accelerated their adoption — artists like Skepta, Stormzy, and Central Cee have all been photographed in custom sets, cementing grillz as a key part of London's jewellery and streetwear culture.
By 2020, casting companies in Hatton Garden were producing hundreds of grillz daily — and that number has only grown since.
How Custom Grillz Are Made in the UK
The process for ordering custom grillz from a UK maker typically works like this:
Step 1 — Order and receive your impression kit You place your order online and receive a dental impression kit in the post. This includes trays, moulding material, and instructions. The impression captures the exact shape of your teeth.
Step 2 — Take your impression at home The process takes around 5–10 minutes. You bite into the moulding material, wait for it to set, and send it back. No dentist visit required.
Step 3 — CAD design and approval Your maker creates a 3D model of your grillz based on the impression. Some makers (including Ice Jeweller) offer CAD previews before casting begins.
Step 4 — Casting, setting and finishing The grillz are cast in your chosen metal, stones are hand-set if applicable, then polished and finished.
Step 5 — Delivery Your custom grillz arrive ready to wear, fitted precisely to your teeth.
Total turnaround time: 4–6 weeks from receiving your impression.
What to Look for When Buying Grillz in London
Not all grillz makers are equal. Here's what separates quality custom work from cheap alternatives:
✅ Solid metal — not plated
Gold-plated grillz have a thin layer of gold over a base metal. In the mouth, heat, saliva, and friction cause the plating to wear off quickly. Always confirm your grillz are made from solid gold or solid 925 sterling silver.
✅ Impression-based custom fit
Pre-made or "same-day" grillz use generic sizing. A proper custom fit requires a dental impression. Ill-fitting grillz are uncomfortable and create gaps where bacteria accumulate.
✅ CAD design capability
Quality UK makers use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to model grillz before casting. This allows for complex, precise designs and minimises errors in the final piece.
✅ Clear pricing with no hidden costs
Some makers charge separately for the impression kit, delivery, or stone setting. Look for transparent pricing upfront.
✅ Reviews and proof of work
Established London grillz makers will have customer photos, social media presence, and verifiable reviews. Be cautious of new sellers with no track record.
Custom Grillz Prices in London (2026)

Ordering Online vs. In-Person in London
Many people assume they need to visit a maker in person to get custom grillz. In reality, most London-based grillz companies — including Ice Jeweller — operate primarily by post.
| In-Person | Online (Postal) | |
|---|---|---|
| Convenience | Requires travel | Order from anywhere in the UK |
| Fit quality | Same (both use impressions) | Same |
| Price | Often higher (studio overhead) | Generally more competitive |
| Turnaround | Same | Same |
The impression kit method has been refined to the point where postal custom grillz are just as precise as in-person fittings. Ice Jeweller ships impression kits to customers across the UK and worldwide — the results are identical to an in-person visit.
