What are Fakies?
Fakies are DIY cosmetic replacement teeth designed to temporarily improve the appearance of a missing tooth or gap. They are made and fitted at home using the materials supplied in your Fakies kit.
Are Fakies permanent replacement teeth?
No. Fakies are a temporary cosmetic solution and are not a permanent dental restoration or substitute for professional dental treatment.
Can I make the tooth myself?
Yes. Fakies are designed to be made at home. Follow the instructional videos and guides provided on our website carefully before starting.
Can I replace more than one tooth?
Fakies may be suitable for one or more missing teeth depending on the location and size of the gap. Results will vary from person to person.
Can I reshape my Fakie?
Yes. The thermoplastic material can be softened again in hot water and reshaped if required. Follow the instructions provided with your kit.
How hot should the water be?
Use hot water as directed in the instructions — do not use boiling water. Take care when handling heated water and softened material to avoid burns.
Can I eat while wearing my Fakie?
Fakies are primarily intended for cosmetic use. We recommend removing them before eating, particularly when eating hard, sticky or chewy foods.
Can I sleep with it in?
No. Remove your Fakie before sleeping.
What if my Fakie feels loose?
Do not wear a Fakie that is loose or could become dislodged. Remove it and adjust/refit it according to the instructions before wearing it again.
How do I clean it?
Remove the Fakie and gently clean it with cool or lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid boiling water, as heat may soften or distort the thermoplastic material.
Is Fakies a dental treatment?
No. Fakies are a DIY cosmetic product and are not intended to diagnose, treat or repair dental disease or replace professional dental care.
When should I not use Fakies?
Do not use the product over painful, bleeding, infected or recently injured gums or teeth. If you have dental pain, swelling, infection, ongoing bleeding or another oral health concern, seek advice from a qualified dental professional before using the product.
Are there any safety warnings?
Yes. Keep all small components away from children. Do not swallow any components. Do not wear a loose-fitting Fakie. Remove it immediately if it causes pain, significant irritation, bleeding or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
What if I need help making mine?
