I recently started going to Sparkling Charms after not seeing a dentist in quite a while. Dr. Robinson was very kind and professional in discussing my dental issues and has so far taken great care of me and my whole family. I'm very pleased with their service and would recommend them to anyone seeking a dentist or pediatric dentist.

Top-notch! For someone who is extremely anxious about dental care and one with trauma to my teeth, I must say that this has been the experience I have ever had at the Dentist. The entire staff from beginning to end was so kind and compassionate going above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Truly informative and able to give me both short- long term solutions. I highly recommend!

Sparkling Charms recently opened its doors in Riverside. I had a appointment on 6/1/24 and was pleased to find that this dental practice is a really superb addition to the neighborhood. Dr Robinson and Dr Spates are great-patient-focused, talented, smart, personable, totally current on best practices in dental care, and with hearts for dentistry. Too many dental practices in Baltimore run first as businesses rather than as healthcare facilities that put patient needs first (like advising crowns rather than filings when a filing would work and cost less for the patient). Sparkling Charms is focused first and foremost on patient needs.
One senses this in every detail in how they manage their dental practice. The staff are all super friendly and professional. Dental equipment is current state of the art and everything is new. All in all, my expectations were exceeded with this appointment and I recommend Sparkling Charms, Dr Robinson and Dr. Spates unconditionally.

Wanted to share the great experience we have had Sparkling Charms. They have a beautiful, very kid friendly space. The staff are all very kind and helpful, and Dr Spates is patient and thorough. She takes a lot of time to explain step by step expectations in a kid friendly way. My daughter gave her vote of approval as well after a not so great experience at her prior dentist a few months ago. If you are in need of a dentist, give them a try! They do see adults as well.

I cannot recommend this dental office enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an incredibly friendly and professional staff who made me feel at ease. Dr. Robinson, a general dentist, is nothing short of amazing. I went in for a cleaning and a crown, and she took the time to patiently explain every step of the process. Her attention to detail and gentle approach ensured that I experienced no pain at all.
It was truly a remarkable experience. What impressed me the most was the level of care and comfort they provided. The entire team made sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire procedure. The office itself, designed by the owner, Dr. Space, is stunning. They've created a welcoming environment, and the pediatric side is especially charming-relaxed, cute, and perfect for children. This office is a gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch dental care. They're simply excellent in every way!

We took our 15-month old to their first dentist appointment, and Dr. Spates was great. She gave us some tips on brushing and toothpaste options, and we were out of the office in less than 45 minutes. The office is beautifully designed and clean, and the themed rooms are so visually appealing. 10/10, would definitely recommend.
