Custom grillz in The Annex
Grillz Toronto makes custom grillz for The Annex: removable, moulded to your own teeth, in solid silver from $90 per tooth, 10K–18K gold, or iced with moissanite and diamonds.
Between Victorian homes, U of T students and the Bloor Street bar strip, the Annex brings us a lot of first grillz — often a single gold cap on a canine as a graduation or birthday gift.
Grillz styles popular in The Annex
Students on a budget often start with 10K gold, which is harder-wearing than 14K and 18K and still reads as real yellow gold. Read our 10K vs 14K vs 18K guide before deciding.
The Annex mixes Victorian semis near Bathurst with U of T students and the late-night bar crowd along Bloor Street, so our requests here split along generational lines: students leaning toward an affordable 10K single as a first piece, and longtime homeowners asking about an 18K upgrade to something they bought years ago. A canine cap is the most requested single tooth in this area, often picked as a graduation gift to mark the end of exams at Robarts Library rather than a loud fashion statement.
Getting to the studio from The Annex
Line 2 (Bloor–Danforth) to Spadina or St George, then Line 1 south — the whole trip stays underground. Travel time: Roughly 10–15 minutes by subway.
Home visits and moulds in The Annex
Students without a car usually ride Line 2 to Spadina or St George station and switch to Line 1 south, a fully underground trip that avoids weather entirely — handy during a January exam week. If you live in one of the Annex's older houses that's been split into apartments, we can still do a home visit; just let us know which buzzer to use since many of these buildings don't have a working intercom listed outside. Bloor Street shops and cafés near Spadina Road make for an easy wait if you arrive early for your slot at the studio.
When to book in The Annex
Reading week and the weeks right before U of T exams in April and December see a noticeable jump in student bookings, often timed so a 10K single arrives just before a parent visits for graduation. Because 10K is harder-wearing and ships faster than higher karats, a student on a tight timeline should lean toward it rather than waiting on an 18K order. Outside exam season, weekday afternoons near the campus are typically our most open slots.

Grillz in The Annex: FAQ
Is 10K gold a good choice for a U of T student in the Annex?
Yes, 10K is our most recommended starting gold for students because it's more durable than 14K or 18K and still looks like real yellow gold. It's also priced lower per tooth, which helps on a student budget.
How do I get from U of T to the studio without a car?
Take Line 2 to Spadina or St George station, then transfer to Line 1 heading south, which is a fully underground route from the Annex. The whole trip usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Can you visit an apartment in an older Annex house?
Yes, we do home visits in the Annex's converted houses regularly, but it helps to tell us which buzzer or unit to use ahead of time. Some of these older buildings have intercoms that aren't clearly labelled.
