Many people feel nervous or anxious when they visit their dental practice. Sweaty palms, a racing heart as you lie down in the dental chair. Does this sound familiar? If yes, you’re probably suffering from dental phobia.  

At Sparkle Dental Boutique, Ealing our comfortable surroundings, relaxing environment and friendly team can help you to overcome any unnecessary fears and anxiety.  

Dr Sunita Verma, Principal says `One of the main reasons why people don’t get the dental care they deserve is because of anxiety, fear and dental phobia. At Sparkle, we understand and appreciate our patients concerns, and continually work to help them over come them.’  

Jillian, a patient who recently came to the practice and who had not seen a dentist for 26 years says `I would like to thank all the team at Sparkle. Everyone was so lovely to me and thanks to Sunita, my awful fear of the dentist has gone…and also the lovely relaxing atmosphere really helped.” 

At Sparkle, we offer many dental distractions including music, a relaxation room with massage chair, a waterwall, dvds, aromatherapy candles, whilst having treatment, which help to keep you smiling!

Sunita goes on to say, `With the latest technologies and techniques that we offer, there is no need to feel any discomfort during your dental visit. If you are anxious about injections, the sounds and smells that you associate with a dental practice, or just having someone look in your mouth, then talk to us. We find communication is key and all patients are welcome to pop in and meet the team and have a tour of the boutique before they see me.’    

The dream of healthy teeth and a perfect smile is becoming a reality to more and more people every day.  As time goes by, your teeth tend to shift, sometimes causing your front top and bottom teeth to become crooked, overlapping or rotated.

The Inman Aligner `squeezes’ teeth into alignment

 At Sparkle Dental Boutique, Hanwell we can now straighten your upper and lower front teeth in a matter of weeks!  As certified Inman Aligner dentists (see www.inmanaligner.com), we can now improve your dental health and give your self esteem a boost through Inman Aligners.

Dr Sunita Verma, Principal says “The Inman Aligner is a versatile removable appliance that works by applying gentle pressure to the teeth that need to be moved to an ideal position. This gentle process is provided by the spring action of the appliance which `squeeze’ the teeth together, pushing and pulling them into alignment. Once your teeth are corrected, the aligner works like a retainer and holds them in place.” Advantages over other orthodontic systems:

• Allows you to achieve great results using just one appliance.
• Can give you a wonderful smile with less hassle and expense in a shorter period of time.
• Can be removed and inserted as easily as a retainer.
• Its very thin (0.3mm) and invisible.

At Sparkle Dental Boutique, Hanwell we aim to promote environmental good practice and comply with and wherever possible exceed all relevant environmental legislation relevant to the dental  industry. We actively communicate within the practice on environmental issues and engage the team in achieving good environmental practice.   

·         We use digital radiography when taking patient x-rays. Although this is more expensive than conventional x-rays, digital x-rays cut up to 75-90% of radiation exposure. In addition, using digital radiographs completely eliminates the toxic chemicals that are required to process conventional film x-rays.

·         We have used wood and Marmoleum as a suitable and environmentally friendly floor covering. Marmoleum exhibits antibacterial properties and is manufactured from sustainable, natural resources. It is fully biodegradable at the end of its life. The plants and trees that supply the raw materials also produce oxygen – helping to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

·         Our air-conditioning units are amongst the most energy-efficient on the market (featuring on the UK government’s energy technology list of eco-friendly equipment). Daikin, who produce the units, have obtained ISO 14001 environmental certification – underlining their commitment to reducing their impact on the environment.·         We seek to minimise waste from our activities and recycle wherever possible. 

 ·         We provide the safe removal and replacement of existing mercury contained in amalgam (silver) fillings with newly fitted technology – eliminating any likelihood of polluting our water supplies.

·         Our needles and clinical waste are disposed of in special collection sharp bins so there is no chance of exposure to the public.

·         We use rechargeable batteries wherever possible.

Dr Sunita Verma from Sparkle Dental Boutique, Ealing says `For many years dentists have been using mercury amalgams as fillings for cavities. Now there is much more concern about the health issues surrounding the use of mercury.’

Mercury is a poison and it is widely reported that mercury can cause brain damage, kidney malfunction, memory loss and depression. The amount of mercury released from fillings and the cumulative effect of this over time on the body is not fully known.

Sunita goes on to say `New technological advancements in dentistry allow us to do white, tooth coloured fillings. White fillings integrate with the tooth, making it more natural looking and we use these fillings to restore decay, to replace unsightly old amalgam fillings as well to make cosmetic improvements to a smile’.

Superman possessed x-ray vision, allowing him to see through objects, even the smallest things.

At Sparkle Dental Boutique, Ealing our patients can benefit from `superman vision’ through our digital x-rays which allow a whole new level of comfort. 

 We can see through anything!

The digital radiograph makes it easier and less expensive to detect, diagnose and plan treatment long before problems become visible to the naked eye. Each x-ray image is instantly and automatically transmitted to our computers via radio waves requiring up to 80% less radiation than traditional x-ray film. The electronic image is captured instantaneously, giving a clear, high resolution view of teeth, bones, root and tissue.

Dr Sunita Verma, Principal at Sparkle Dental Boutique says `This new cutting edge technology is one more tool that we can use to provide our patients with the best and safest dental care possible. We recommend digital radiographs periodically, as our patients need them. Its the best and safest way to guard your smile against unexpected problems.’
