I had a wonderful dental cleaning experience. From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel comfortable and welcome. The cleaning was very thorough yet gentle, and I left feeling refreshed and confident with my smile. I would definitely recommend this office.
Dr. Robinson and her staff, you are the best. Thanks.

Fantastic office and staff and amazing prices. If you have a special needs child BRING THEM HERE! I was almost certain my autistic non verbal son was going to have a meltdown but it was the opposite. She had him sit with me a certain way where he would feel safe and comfortable, she sang to him the whole time she was evaluating(thus keeping him calmer than expected), she was also quick and very gentle. They have a tv on the ceiling for the kids and the room is very sensory friendly. I cant recommend this place enough. Im beyond proud of my son and the staff that worked with him.

Sparkling Charms is an exceptional pediatric dental practice. Every staff member we encountered was kind, professional and friendly. Dr. Spates was incredible with both of my children, especially during a more stressful procedure for my daughter. The environment is clean, inviting and very welcoming to pediatric patients. Highly, highly recommend. What a wonderful addition to the community!

We love Sparkling Charms! Every employee that works there is kind to us and our children. They are patient with our little one who is a little scared of the dentist, making it more fun than scary. They let the kids choose what toothpaste flavor and their sunglasses and they even get to pick what to watch on the tv above their chair! So happy they opened in our neighborhood!

First time here with my kids, and I wish we had made the switch the first month they were open. Dr. Spates takes the time to sit and explain everything. She reads body language and adjusts to make sure everyone is comfortable. Front desk staff are super kind; dental tech super kind; just positive experience start to finish. And thats even WITH learning about a cavity

Cant say enough about how great this dental organization is! Everyone from the office staff to the hygienists and the doctor are SO child-centered and child friendly. They go above and beyond to be helpful and make sure your little one has the best experience possible. My son has very weak enamel and developed multiple cavities (some very bad between his molars) on almost every tooth. Not only did the dental team develop a reasonable, child-friendly plan for his multiple procedures, but they ensured that he was as calm and comfortable as possible throughout every visit.
1.The terms they use and the way they explain things so their little patients can understand is wonderful!
2. The tv on the ceiling that keeps the littles entertained with a favorite show or movie is a great distraction.
3. The fun little things they offer like getting to chose a favorite color plastic-shield glasses and receiving a token to get a little something fun from the toy tower after an exam/procedure makes it so kids actually look forward to going to the dentist!
All in all, Sparkling Charms Dental Studio is WONDERFUL, and we are SO thankful to have found them!
