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.
East Village Dental Center Reviews
Nice place. THe Dentist is really nice and knows what she's talking about. The place is clean. Staff are friendly.
I recently started coming to East Village Dental, and I couldn't be more grateful for their care. I had a root canal done at my previous dentist, but when it started hurting, they told me they couldn't remove it and that I would need to go elsewhere for treatment. I spent months calling NYU and Bellevue, trying to get an appointment, but I never received a response.One day, I remembered passing by East Village Dental many times, so I decided to give them a call. Thank God I did, they were able to fit me in and address my concerns right away. The dentist who worked on me was incredibly kind, thorough, and reassuring. The dental assistants were also warm and attentive, making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process.They not only took care of my issue but also gave me peace of mind.
Excellent service, very patient and kind...

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.
