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.

UPDATE APRIL 2026East Village Dental center continues to slay when it comes to painless patient care. Had a deep cleaning today and was very apprehensive about pain. The dental hygienist was an absolute gem. Wish I remembered her name (a blonde lady with an Eastern bloc accent) , but she made sure the procedure was smooth and painless. This was also my experience when I got a filling redone last year.There are tons of dentists in my neighborhood, but I wouldn’t think of getting a dental procedure anywhere other than East Village Dental Center. And neither should you.*********************My husband has a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist, and the staff made him feel very comfortable. They did very invasive work on him and he was pain free throughout. This inspired me to begin coming here, and the staff made me feel very comfortable. The hygienist explained everything she was doing and put me at ease. I would highly recommend them.ETA: 2022 and still have great things to say about East Village Dental. Professional and friendly staff. Still recommend them.
very pleasant atmosphere, friendly and help front desk. Dentists and the assistants are very attentive with great focus on a positive patient experience. highly recommend this office

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.
