How Much Do Grillz Cost in the UK? (2026 Price Guide)
One of the first questions people ask when looking into custom grillz is: how much do they actually cost? The honest answer is — it depends on several factors. But in this guide, we'll break down exactly what you're paying for, what realistic prices look like in the UK in 2026, and what to watch out for when comparing quotes.
What Affects the Price of Grillz?
Before looking at numbers, it's worth understanding the four things that determine grillz cost:
1. Material (metal type) Silver is the most affordable. Gold prices increase with karat purity. Lab diamonds and moissanite add further cost depending on the number and size of stones.
2. Number of teeth A single tooth cap costs far less than a full top or bottom set. Most people order between 4 and 8 teeth.
3. Design complexity A plain open-face or solid design costs less than a fully iced-out bustdown with hand-set stones. CAD-designed custom shapes (like AK-47s, crosses, or drip styles) also carry a premium for the design work involved.
4. Custom vs. pre-made Custom grillz — made from a dental impression of your actual teeth — cost more than generic snap-on styles. But the fit, comfort and quality difference is significant.
UK Grillz Price Guide (2026)
Sterling Silver Grillz (925)
| Style | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Single tooth cap | from £65 |
| 4–6 teeth (top or bottom) | from £186 |
| 8 teeth full set (top or bottom) | from £240 |
| Double set (top + bottom) | from £280 |
| Bustdown / iced-out silver | from £239 |
Silver is the best starting point if you're new to grillz or want a bold look without a large upfront investment.
Gold Grillz (9K / 10K / 14K)
| Style | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Single tooth cap | from £140 |
| 4–6 teeth (top or bottom) | from £280 |
| 8 teeth full set | from £420 |
| Double set (top + bottom) | from £500+ |
The higher the karat, the higher the price — but also the richer the colour and the lower the maintenance. At Ice Jeweller, we work with 9K, 10K and 14K solid gold in yellow, white, and rose gold.
Diamond & Moissanite Grillz
| Style | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Lab diamond set (silver base) | from £239 |
| Lab diamond set (gold base) | from £300+ |
| Moissanite set (silver base) | from £191 |
| Moissanite set (gold base) | from £285+ |
| Full bustdown / snowset | from £340+ |
Moissanite grillz are typically 70–80% cheaper than equivalent natural diamond grillz, while offering the same visual brilliance. Lab-grown diamonds sit in between — created using the same chemical process as natural diamonds, but at a fraction of the cost.
Why Are Some Grillz So Cheap?
If you've searched online and seen grillz advertised for £20–£50, here's what you're actually getting:
- Base metal or brass — not gold or silver. These metals can cause skin irritation and are not safe for prolonged oral contact.
- Gold-plated — a thin layer of gold over cheap metal. The plating wears off quickly in the mouth due to heat, saliva, and friction, exposing the base metal underneath.
- Generic fit — not custom-made from an impression. Ill-fitting grillz are uncomfortable, can move around while wearing, and create gaps where bacteria accumulate.
Cheap grillz aren't just a quality issue — they can be a health issue. The American Dental Association specifically warns that non-precious base metals used in some grillz can cause irritation and allergic reactions.
Is a Free Impression Kit Included?
At Ice Jeweller, every custom grillz order includes a free dental impression kit sent directly to your door. Some UK providers charge £20–£25 separately for the kit, or require you to visit them in person. With Ice Jeweller, the kit is included regardless of order size — you take your impression at home, send it back, and we handle the rest.
Custom Grillz vs. Same-Day Grillz
Some jewellers offer "same-day grillz" — pre-sized moulds you pick from in-store. These are faster but have notable trade-offs:
| Custom (Impression-Based) | Same-Day / Pre-Made | |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Exact fit to your teeth | Generic sizing |
| Comfort | High | Variable |
| Hygiene | Better (no gaps) | More gaps = more bacteria |
| Turnaround | 4–6 weeks | Same day |
| Price | Higher | Lower |
If you wear grillz regularly, custom is almost always the better long-term choice. Same-day styles can work for one-off events.
How Long Do Grillz Last?
With proper care:
- Silver grillz — 2–5 years with regular cleaning
- Gold grillz (10K/14K) — 5–10+ years, often indefinitely with basic maintenance
- Diamond/moissanite grillz — stones are extremely durable (moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs scale); the setting quality is what matters most
The biggest cause of premature wear is eating or sleeping in grillz — both of which accelerate damage and affect the fit over time.
Are Grillz Worth It?
Custom grillz from a reputable UK maker are a genuine craft product — handmade, precision-fitted, and built from precious metals. For many buyers, a quality pair of silver or gold grillz is as considered a purchase as any other fine jewellery.
The key is knowing what you're paying for. A £186 custom silver set from Ice Jeweller — made from your dental impression, in solid 925 silver — is a very different product from a £30 snap-on from a marketplace.
