The Front Desk Staff, Dental Assistant and Doctor are all professional and kind. My son had an extraction and came out smiling! Where does that happen?! I'm so grateful my sons don't have to have a traumatic pediatric dental experience. And guess what.they take adults too. I'll be making an appointment for myself!

Top-notch! For someone who is extremely anxious about dental care and one with trauma to my teeth, I must say that this has been the experience I have ever had at the Dentist. The entire staff from beginning to end was so kind and compassionate going above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Truly informative and able to give me both short- long term solutions. I highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of visiting this office today. I saw Dr. Robinson for the first time. She was gentle, informative, and thorough. I've never had a dentist explain a treatment plan so thoroughly. My 10 year old saw Dr. Spates. She was exceptionally kind and gentle. We will definitely be returning. The office staff was extremely welcoming and helpful.

Our recent experience with Dr. Spates was nothing short of exceptional! After transferring to her dental studio, my daughters were met with incredible patience and gentleness. Dr. Spates and her team attended to us with warmth and kindness, ensuring that both my children and I felt comfortable every step of the way. She was thorough and informative, providing me with valuable insights into my daughters' dental care. The entire visit was filled with smiles and positive energy-my girls left feeling confident and cared for!

Wanted to share the great experience we have had Sparkling Charms. They have a beautiful, very kid friendly space. The staff are all very kind and helpful, and Dr Spates is patient and thorough. She takes a lot of time to explain step by step expectations in a kid friendly way. My daughter gave her vote of approval as well after a not so great experience at her prior dentist a few months ago. If you are in need of a dentist, give them a try! They do see adults as well.

I cannot recommend this dental office enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an incredibly friendly and professional staff who made me feel at ease. Dr. Robinson, a general dentist, is nothing short of amazing. I went in for a cleaning and a crown, and she took the time to patiently explain every step of the process. Her attention to detail and gentle approach ensured that I experienced no pain at all.
It was truly a remarkable experience. What impressed me the most was the level of care and comfort they provided. The entire team made sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire procedure. The office itself, designed by the owner, Dr. Space, is stunning. They've created a welcoming environment, and the pediatric side is especially charming-relaxed, cute, and perfect for children. This office is a gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch dental care. They're simply excellent in every way!

We had a great first time experience at the Sparkling Charms Dental Studio! The office is clean and the decor is really cool! We didn't wait long at all, but the dental assistant turned on a show of our toddler's choice while the room was prepped. Everyone was extremely pleasant and Dr. Spates was great with our toddler! I am so happy to have found a dental home.

Today we had our first visit here. They entire process from start to finish was top notch. Everyone from the front desk, the assistant and the dentist herself were wonderful. My anxious 12 has never not shed a tear during a dental visit and today she left not only smiling but asked as soon as we left if she continue to come here. Great job! We will be back!

This was our 15 months old daughter's first dentist appointment and it went great! Everyone is friendly and great at catering to kids. The office is new and clean. They did a wonderful job going slowly with my daughter and making her appointment fun and not scary. This place is a great addition to the neighborhood and they also see adults too which is a bonus!

Dr. Robinson and Staff, First and foremost, I am new to the area so I had no expectations. I looked up the closest dentist to my addresss and stumbled upon Sparkling Charms. I did some research and commited to make a visit. The process was super easy. I made my appointment with the staff to see Dr. Robinson and first imperssion is the cleansiness of the environment.
They are very clean and organized. I had my teeth examined by Dr. Robinson and she handled me with the utmost care. She is extremely gentle, informative and educated me about the health of my teeth. There are some minor concerns but she created an action plan specially for me. I have been making my follow up visits to ensure the best health for my teeth and the future is very promising. Words are not enough to express my gratitude and satisfaction.
I feel like a new person and this is just the beginning. Dr. Robinson is truly the best dentist I have ever had and I have had quite a few to say the least. Thank you so much Dr. Robinson and team you guys are amazing!
