Painless promise
Numbing gel before every injection
Everything your teeth need, under one calm roof
Anxiety-friendly care
Quiet appointments, numbing before the needle, and a stop signal that always works.
Invisible aligners
Straightening planned by dentists who do it every day, with costs fixed up front.
Whitening
Gradual, low-sensitivity whitening supervised in-clinic. Naturally brighter, not blinding.
Family hours
Back-to-back bookings for kids and parents, Saturday slots, and cartoons in the chair.
Emergencies
Same-day pain appointments held open every morning. Call before 10am and we'll see you.
The people you’ll actually meet
Small team, same faces every visit
Dr. Amara Chen
Principal Dentist
15 years in practice, special interest in nervous patients. Known for terrible chair-side puns.
Dr. Jonas Feld
Orthodontist
Plans every aligner case himself. Has probably straightened someone you know.
Dr. Imani Osei
Hygiene Lead
The gentlest clean in the city, and the reason our re-booking rate is 94%.
Why nervous patients
choose Lumen
Around one in three adults avoids the dentist. We built our whole practice for that person — and it turns out everyone else likes being treated gently too.
Take the first small stepLonger appointments
40-minute standard exams. Nothing is a fifteen-minute conveyor belt here.
A stop signal that works
Raise your hand and we stop. Always. No exceptions, no sighing.
Prices on the wall
Every fee published, quoted in writing before treatment, and held for 6 months.
Honest recommendations
If watching and waiting is right, we'll say so — even when treatment pays better.
Fair questions
Will it hurt?
This is the most common question we get, and the honest answer is: far less than you fear. We numb before any injection, work at your pace, and agree a hand signal that stops everything instantly.
How much does a check-up cost?
A new patient exam with X-rays is $95, and a hygiene visit is $110. We publish every price on the wall and in writing before treatment starts — no surprises has been practice policy since day one.
Do you see children?
From their first tooth. Family hours run on Wednesday afternoons and all day Saturday, with back-to-back bookings so you only park once.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes — treatment plans over $500 can be split across 3, 6 or 12 months interest-free through our plan provider, arranged at the front desk in about five minutes.
