Contact UsWhat is a Twinkles?
Twinkles is a small gem specially designed to bond firmly to the surface of the tooth. Made of 22-24k gold or 18k white gold set with diamonds or precious stones covering 1/4 - 1/3 of the surface - tiny and elegant it will enhance your smile without risk of damage or allergies. The diamonds we use are brilliant cut Wesselton SI 0,01 ct in all models except model round 0,02 ct.
How is a Twinkles attached?
For a durable bonding Twinkles are glued with a dental composite glue by a professional. Tooth gems should NOT be bonded at home with normal glue. We do not supply glue with the gem as this is already available in the clinic. The bonding procedure is similar to bonding procedures, which leave the tooth intact and allow easy removal.

I have notice my teeth coming down more than ever.. however she has suggested for me to keep my teeth and suggested other alternatives.. that I am pleased 😀 with..
I really like this office, I'm glad I started coming here because of the location and staff is awesome. The doctor was very patient and thorough, she explained the procedure I have to have done in detail and I like that she didn't rush the visit. The front desk girls are great, very kind and welcoming. The office is nice and clean, very pleasant environment. I like that they don't overbook like many other offices do. I had to wait maybe 10 min until I was called to be seen. Overall I had a great experience so far. I recommend this dental office to all.

How long will the Twinkles stay on the tooth?
A Twinkles gem mounted on a natural tooth (will not stick to porcelain caps) can stay on until you decide to have it removed at a dentist clinic, but generally, it stays on for around 1 year. Crystals may stay on for 3-6 months.
Will the jewel harm the tooth?
No. The Twinkles gems are bonded to the surface of the enamel like an orthodontic bracket. No drilling or damage to the tooth is done.

About UsHow do I remove a Twinkles?
Removal should be performed by a dental professional. Removal is done by the dentist or dental hygienist in the same manner braces are removed – the gem is polished off and usually will leave no visible mark on the tooth.
Will Twinkles impede dental hygiene?
No, the presence of the Twinkles will encourage brushing since it brings more attention to the smile. You can also chew and have your teeth professionally cleaned as usual. The area underneath the Twinkles is sealed and will not be open for any bacteria.
