Had a wonderful experience here. The staff were very kind, professional, and accommodating. They were especially patient and understanding with my autistic child, who had difficulty sitting still. The environment was clean, organized, and welcoming. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be bringing my other children here as well.

After a referral for a pediatric dentist for my daughter from our former office, I fell in love with this facility first visit. Its a in great and accessible location. It is so clean and sterile! Amanda at the front desk is amazing! So sweet and patient with newcomers managing the transfer process. Dr. Yates, the pediatric dentist is VERY good at her job! She made my daughter feel at ease during her procedure and I didnt have a worry in the world. After my daughters visit and learning they also had an adult side, I decided to transfer to this facility as well.

Weve been coming here almost 2 years now. My three kids love Dr. Spates and her staff. I have a special needs child and Dr. Spates is absolutely wonderful with him. The whole office is very warm and welcoming, they always take the time to explain insurance and procedures thoroughly. We have been very happy here.

I cannot say enough good things about Sparkling Charms Dental Office. I had an emergency dental issue, was able to get an appointment the day after I called and the procedure taken care of the next day. Dr. Robinson is quite simply THE BEST.
The office is squeaky clean, the staff friendly and helpful.
Thank you for taking such good care of me.

I avoided going to the dentist embarrassing longer than I shouldve. After getting to the point I no longer could, I made an appointment. I have felt like family since the day I walked in! Calmed my nerves by walking me step by step through the process, friendly faces every time you walk in and a team 100% dedicated to making sure they help you get back on track. I can proudly admit I actually get excited for my 6 months check up now!

This is one of the best Dentist I've eve been to. Dr. Robinson is so kind, thorough, and really skilled. Most importantly, you should know that this entire office and every person working there is super professional, skilled, and has a positive energy radiating around them. This is not a space you walk into and realize everyone hates their jobs but rather its the exact opposite. There's a sense that people are taken care of and that translates to patients. So happy to be a patient here!

I recently took my three-year-old grandson, who is autistic, to Sparkling Charms Dental Studio for a teeth cleaning. As someone very particular about the care he receives, I was thoroughly impressed from the moment we arrived. The office was impeccably clean and lived up to its name with its sparkling charm.
The check-in process was seamless, thanks to the welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable staff at the front desk. In the waiting area, my grandson felt at ease, exploring the colorful decorations on the walls and enjoying the toys provided.
When it was time for his appointment, we were once again impressed by the cleanliness and the dentist's professionalism. My grandson handled his cleaning wonderfully, which speaks volumes about the care and expertise of the team.
Ill definitely be returning and highly recommend Sparkling Charms Dental Studio to others!"
