We are proud to announce that Dr Sunita Verma from Sparkle Dental Boutique, Ealing has won the award for Best Patient Smile at the Smile Awards 2010.

Sunita launched Sparkle Dental Boutique in 2007 and within a space of three years has gone on to win many awards including: Most Attractive Practice 2007, Best Team London 2008, Best Team UK 2008, Best Practice Environment 2007, Best Practice London 2007 and Best Practice London 2008 and Professional of the Year 2009.

Sunita says “The Smile Awards took place at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington on Saturday 27th March and it was a great opportunity to mingle with those who are at the top of their profession.

I was nominated by one of my patients under the Patient Smile category for the improvements that I had been able to make to his smile which in turn had had a positive impact on his life.

It was great to have been selected as a finalist but winning the award is a fantastic achievement. All credit goes to my amazing team who really are the `wind beneath my wings’, without whom I would be unable to make Sparkle Dental Boutique the success that it is.”

We’ve refocused our vision

Sunita Verma from Sparkle Dental Boutique, Hanwell says, “If you’ve not been to see me for a while then you may see me wearing loupes or special magnifying glasses with a light shining from the loupes, very much like the light you see on a miners helmet!

No need to worry, loupes give a better visualization of the oral cavity and are a great tool for making accurate diagnosis. They allow me to see even the slightest imperfection which is particularly useful when carrying out detailed dental or cosmetic procedures.

For my patients this means greater confidence and perfect results.”

Mothering Sunday is a time when children, no matter what age, pay respect to their Mothers.

Children often give their Mothers a gift normally flowers and a card, as a way of saying thank you for all their care and love throughout the year.

What better way to say thank you to your mum by treating them to the gift of a sparkling white smile. A teeth whitening procedure using Zoom 2! Teeth Whitening, can give you a brighter, whiter smile in an hour…she’ll love you for it!

Young Dentist Conference 2010

March 3rd, 2010

Dr Sunita Verma, Principal of Sparkle Dental Boutique Chiswick was asked to speak at the Young Dentist Conference 2010 at the Royal College of Physicians 2010 on Saturday 13 February, sponsored by Dental Protection, the BDA and BDJ.

The Conference was aimed at the needs of dentists in the early years of their career and Sunita was asked to speak in the `Finding Your Niche’ session and share her experience of how a young clinician can open a private practice and find their niche within the current economic climate.

Sunita says “It is the first time that I have been asked to speak at a conference and the thought was a bit daunting, but the idea of delivering thought provoking ideas, facts and practical tips to young dentists was greatly appealing. When I bought my practice, there was little help and advice for me and since then dentistry in the UK has gone through a huge change presenting a whole new set of challenges for young dentists today.”

“Speaking to a full house of 300 young dentists certainly caused a few butterflies in the stomach but what a great experience. My own Vocational Trainer, Dr Kooner who I started my career with was also at the event and it was great to have gone full circle.”

“Would I do it again? Public speaking and making a presentation is a skill that we do not normally have as dentists. This has been a great opportunity to share my experience and with a bit more practice, I’d certainly take up the gauntlet again.”

Braces Fact or Fiction

March 1st, 2010

Fiction: Braces are only for kids

Fact: There is no upper age limit for orthodontics providing your teeth, bones and gums are healthy. In fact braces have become trendy with celebrities such as Tom Cruise wearing braces as an adult.

Fiction: Braces are very noticeable and `everyone can see them’

Fact: They need not be. There are several styles of very discrete braces which are suitable for some circumstances and the conventional metal braces are much smaller and very much more attractive than they used to be.

Fiction: You always need to have teeth extracted before braces

Fact: No. This may only be necessary if the teeth are very overcrowded.

Fiction: Orthodontic treatment takes years

Fact: With new technological advancements, many dental corrections can be made in as little as 12 weeks, using new removable appliances like the Inman Aligner. On average treatment time varies from 6 – 24 months. 

Fiction: Any dentist can fit braces

Fact: The majority of orthodontic treatment is carried out by those with formal postgraduate orthodontic training. An orthodontist on the General Dental Council Specialist List has undergone between 3-5 years of specialist training after qualifying as a dentist. Sparkle Dental Boutique’s orthodontist, Dr Shahla Rahman, is a Specialist.

Fiction: Braces make teeth weaker and more mobile

Fact: Quite the opposite. Successfully treated teeth are more effective at load bearing and are less likely to be ground down. Provided you take extra care of your teeth while the braces are on, your bite should be healthier after treatment. 

Fiction: After braces are removed, teeth just move back to their old position again

Fact: Minor tooth movements are normal throughout life, but if you wear retainers as instructed at the end of treatment, your teeth should remain aligned.
