  • Use your favorite search engine to search for "Dental Artists" in your area. You can add your city, state and zip code to the search to help find dental artists that are close to you. You can also ask your dentist if they do dental art or can refer you to a dental artist.



  • Decide on the design you want to have tattooed on your tooth. You can search for tooth tattoos online to get an idea of some of the more common designs. You can also talk with the dental artist to see if they have any samples of their work to show you. You will also need to decide how big you want to tattoo.



  • Visit your dentist to have a mold taken of the tooth you want the dental art to be applied to. Once the dentist is finished with the mold, he or she will mail the mold to the dental artist. The dental artist will tattoo your chosen design onto a crown that matches the tooth mold and send the crown back to the dentist.



  • Visit your dentist again to have the crown bonded onto your tooth. The dental art will look like it has been tattooed on your original tooth.
