Ancient Maya "Grillz": A human tooth inlaid with a jade stone, dating back over 1,000 years.
Long before modern cosmetic dentistry, the Maya were perfecting the art of dental bling. These jade stones weren't used to fix cavities, but as a status symbol for the elite.

They fixed the gems with a powerful natural adhesive made from plant resins and minerals that has kept many of these stones attached for over a millennium. It's a stunning mix of craftsmanship and anatomical knowledge from the Classic Maya period.
