I had the opportunity to meet some of the professionals at Sparkle in two different situations. Both on the phone and in person, at the reception desk and in the dental office, all of them were very friendly and professional. The price they charge is commensurate with the excellent service they provide. Furthermore, the manager, Prachi, took an interest in the dental care of my two children and offered me a free checkup for both of them. Although I didn't take it at the time, it was very kind of her to do so. I recommend this place and will definitely be back.

I’ve just got home after having a very large filling replaced, I am a very nervous patient and I can truly say that Dr Priyanthan is the most gentle, highly skilled dentist I have ever been to. I didn’t even feel the anesthetic going in! Thank you so much Dr Priyanthan.

Lovely team, came across them in 2022 when I urgently needed to see someone as my retainer wire came undone. They were much more approachable than other places about fitting me in as I had not yet been to a dentist since moving to the UK. The reception team, dentists, and hygienists have all be really accommodating since. The hygienist Rosie (works on Thursdays), is really lovely and very experienced. So glad to find a good dental clinic in the area.

A good experience with professional staff and a kind and expert dentist. A little pricey but worth the peace of mind. I've been with this practice for years; not going anywhere else.

Sparkle is my usual dentist, but I turned up without an appointment as I was worried about something. The receptionist and dentist were very helpful and I managed to see the dentist and put my mind at rest. I am very grateful. On other visits I have always found everyone very professional, no complaints.

Absolutely over the moon with the service and treatment I received today at Sparkle. I had a check up with another dental practise earlier this morning and left in a bad mood as they wanted so much money from me and I felt uneasy from the get go. I was driving home and drove past Sparkle Dental Boutique and something told me to park up and go inside so I did. I was greeted with Prachi the receptionist who I straight away could feel had such great energy and she was so patient with me as I tried to explain my problems I had this morning and with my teeth. She managed to squeeze me in straight away with a hygienist and gave me some amazing advise as well as making me feel at ease. My hygienist today was Bozena who yet again had such great energy and was so lovely to me as she had patience to listen to my story but also wasn’t afraid to tell me where I was going wrong. Bozena you can tell has a lot of experience and she gave me some amazing advise along with a thorough clean which left me smiling and feeling so much better about myself. I’m booked in to see the dentist next week and to see Bozena again in 8 weeks and I couldn’t recommend Bozena enough, best hygienist I’ve had in years! Summary: you really feel welcomed here and the staff are absolutely amazing and so lovely and they do not rush you or try to take your money! This will be my dental practise for the foreseeable future! Thanks again Prachi & Boxena! Charlie

Dr Priya. Thank you so much. I'm really happy with the Root Canal treatment. Considering the NHS did the crown over 20 yrs ago, it must have been complicated. Thanks again :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Under the NHS, the braces that you will be fitted with are conventional metal braces. Traditional braces consist of small brackets which are placed on your teeth with an arch wire running through them. The teeth move when the arch wire puts pressure on the brackets and teeth.

As well as metal braces, at Sparkle Dental Boutique, we also offer a range of other braces including:

  • Incognito Lingual – fitted behind your teeth
  • Invisalign Teen – which are barely visible and removable
  • Ceramic braces – tooth coloured, so less visible
  • Metal braces
We will first assess whether you need braces at the age of 7, when your baby teeth start to fall out and your adult teeth start to push through.

With early assessment, we can ‘intercept’ or treat your dental concerns before your teeth have fully developed, leading to better dental facial aesthetics, better bite and function.

Braces are used to correct many problems:

  • Overly crowded teeth
  • Crooked teeth maybe caused by thumb sucking
  • Gaps
  • Bad bite
  • Overbite – when your top jaw bone is bigger than the lower jaw
  • Underbite – when your lower jaw is bigger than your upper jaw
Children under the age of 18 years of age must be assessed for NHS orthodontic treatment.

The Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) is used to decide which cases are severe enough to merit treatment funded by the NHS.

At Sparkle, we will check whether you are able to have braces under the NHS. If you are suitable for NHS braces, we will refer you to an NHS orthodontist, where you will have metal braces fitted. You may however have to wait a number of months or years before your treatment can be started.

If you do not qualify for NHS orthodontic treatment or if you do not want NHS metal braces then we can see you at Sparkle for your orthodontic treatment.

We will first assess whether you need braces at the age of 7, when your baby teeth start to fall out and your adult teeth start to push through.

We will start by taking some x-rays and photographs of your teeth. We will then take some models of your teeth ready for your braces to be fitted.

At your next visit, we will fit your braces. You can choose from a range of braces including:

  • Incognito Lingual – fitted behind your teeth
  • Invisalign Teen – which are barely visible and removable
  • Ceramic braces – tooth coloured, so less visible
  • Metal braces

We will see you every 4 – 6 weeks and adjust the braces to help your teeth move safely and comfortably.

Once your braces are fitted, you cannot eat certain foods as you may knock a bracket off your tooth which will mean an extra visit.

In order to look after your teeth and braces, it is best to avoid:

  • Eating toffees, boiled sweets, chewing gum, chocolates
  • Fizzy drinks and fruit juices
  • Eating hard foods, which may damage the braces such as crunchy apple and crusty bread
  • You are not limited to “tin grin” metal braces
  • You can feel more confident and less awkward about wearing braces, as some of our braces options are nearly invisible
  • You can have your braces fitted sooner and avoid NHS waiting lists
  • Many of our braces options are much faster, so you will need fewer appointments and your treatment will finish sooner
  • Your braces will not impact on your social life or self esteem whilst going through school
  • You can continue to play sports or play musical instruments
  • Some braces are fixed to your teeth and so you have to take extra care cleaning your teeth. Food can get stuck in your braces and if not removed may cause cavities, which will need fillings.
  • When you first have your braces fitted and at your follow up appointments, you may feel tension in your mouth as your teeth start to move into their new position. This is usually temporary and your mouth will adapt to your braces within a few days.
  • The way you talk may be different. However, this will improve as you get used to your braces.
Most children and teenagers will wear their braces for 12 – 24 months. It does however depend on your individual needs and how crooked or crowded your teeth are.
Wearing a retainer after your orthodontic treatment is an important step, because it keeps your teeth stable in their new position. To help you maintain your new smile, we provide a free retainer for you at the end of your braces treatment.

In addition, after completing your treatment, our Orthodontist will also see you for a further two complimentary appointments at six monthly intervals, to ensure all is well.

We will first assess whether you need braces at the age of 7, when your baby teeth start to fall out and your adult teeth start to push through.

We understand that price is an important consideration. Like any orthodontic treatment, the cost of your braces is dependent on the type of brace that you are having, your suitability for treatment, the complexity of your treatment and how long your treatment will take.

When you come to see us for your first consultation, we will determine the most appropriate braces treatment for you and provide you with a treatment plan and cost.

  • Any breakages of the brace, bracket and wires are included.
  • All scheduled appointments and aftercare are included in our prices.
  • There are no hidden extras.

All of our brace treatments come with a flexible payment plan to suit your needs.

To obtain an estimate for the total cost for your treatment, please call 020 8567 4344 for your consultation or email us.
