Patient information
Calm, clear answers to anything you might be wondering.
From your first visit, to how we handle insurance, to the standards we hold ourselves to behind the scenes — here is everything you might want to know.
Your first visit
What to expect.
Most new patients tell us the first hour with Lumina was unlike any other dental appointment they have had. Slower. Kinder. More useful.
- 01
Arrive a little early
We'll greet you, get you settled with something warm to drink, and ask you to fill out a short medical history form if you haven't done it online.
- 02
Meet your dentist
A relaxed conversation — what brings you in, what you'd like to address, anything you're nervous about. We listen more than we talk.
- 03
Comprehensive exam
Teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, soft tissues — and an oral cancer screening. Photos and a digital scan if helpful. X-rays only when clinically needed.
- 04
Your written plan
You leave with a clear plan, every option explained, and transparent pricing for each. No pressure to book anything today.
Financing & insurance
Care you can afford. Costs you can see.
Every treatment plan is written down with every option costed clearly. You will never receive a surprise bill at Lumina.
0% finance through CareCredit
Spread the cost of larger treatments over 12 to 24 months at 0% interest. Subject to approval — most patients hear back the same day.
Fixed-fee monthly plans
Routine and preventive care from $39/month. Includes two check-ups, two hygiene visits, x-rays and a 10% discount on additional treatment.
Family bundles
10% off when two or more family members register together. Saves over the course of a year and keeps everyone on the same schedule.
Safety & sterilisation
The standards you cannot see are the ones that matter.
Our infection-control protocols meet or exceed national guidance. We do not advertise them — we just follow them, visit after visit, with no exceptions.
- Autoclave sterilisation of all reusable instruments, with each cycle logged batch-by-batch.
- Single-use kits for implant and surgical procedures.
- HEPA air-filtration in every treatment room.
- Deep-cleaning of treatment rooms between every patient.
- Independent infection-control audits twice yearly.
- Encrypted, regulator-compliant clinical records.

Many of our patients tell us we're the first practice they've felt comfortable in. We move at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and offer noise-cancelling headphones, weighted blankets, and sedation when needed. Tell us on the phone — we'll plan your first visit around your comfort.
