Went here to have my teeth fixed for my wedding. My biggest concerns was that I had 2 gaps in my top half (very noticeable at the front) they decided to fix a chip that was in my two front teeth which didn't even bother me as I'd rather have a small chip than 2 gaps which was right next to it. Was told she was going to fill it, instead she filed my front 2 teeth to where they don't even look like they belong in my mouth anymore as they're extremely short. Then tried to save a tooth by doing a root canal, there's was no way they could save that tooth as it was pretty much just the root but then also charged me to have it extracted the same day. I don't see why I needed to pay for root canal on a tooth they were gonna have to extract anyways cause it was so far gone. I was quoted 2000 for my whole top half to be fixed and it was 2000 and I've still got gaps. Had to then go to another dentist cause luminos couldn't even achieve what they promised so I'm now forking out another 850.00 to get a plate made. Not happy with the service I feel very ripped off and if you can't do what I've asked then don't start doing what you want cause it's more expensive. Hopefully I can get married without gaps in my mouth because you left it too late to get sorted and promised something you couldn't deliver on. Also don't know how you quoted me for 4 teeth to be done and it was gonna be 2000 and it's actually worked out to be 2850. Go here if your looking to be ripped off and not get what you asked for. One of the biggest dentist scammers in Palmerston North. Would have given you no stars but they don't have that option

Being a person who has had bad experiences with dentists and feeling a lot of the pain, Hala was the bees knees. Other than those buggers of needles I have to get stabbed with to make it pain free, I sit back, throw on some headphones and listen to a movie. Wouldn't say they are cheapest dentists but Id take service over price any day. Hala is like my fairy godmother of teeth, she waves some s%*t about with wand-like tools, though a little more grisly sounding, makes the pain go away all the while keeping a smile on her face. I can honestly say, my teeth are nothing to smile about, I could single handedly keep them employed with my disaster mouth. Theres more highlights on her chart than there are on my study notes. She could say with some certainty "see you soon" and wouldn't be wrong, Im like the gift that keeps on giving. I kind of have a reverse subscription, I pay money for things to get taken away, pain and parts of my teeth (albeit, the worst parts). Aside from this waffle, I'd just like to say, yeah check em out, Ive only used Hala as my dentist at Lumino, but based on herself, and her assistants, Im pretty confident in recommending her. Good team, good service, and the new filling stuff on teeth has an interesting smell if anyones interested to know.

Went here and got told I needed 4 fillings and the sore tooth I had was a large hole. I didn't believe I could need that much work and to be charged 220 for the large fillings as well as the two small fillings . Decided to go a previous dentist in Palmy I had been to before for a second opinion to be told I one had ONE small filling and was charged 120 for it to be fixed . The sore tooth I had as from me brushing that tooth too much and had exposed the root which is now a simple fix with using toothpaste as an ointment so where was the large hole I had in that tooth and the other two non exsistant holes ? Very disappointed.clearly a money making place to tell patients they have something wrong when they don't .I am so glad I went elsewhere or I would of wasted 1000 on work I didn't need doing . Actually looking at taking this further -it is not right .I paid 69 for a check up and x-ray only to be lied to . Edited to say what refund ??? I never got refunded the x-ray and consultation that I wasted my money on . I got my 300 back that I deposited down to get my teeth fixed when I got told I had 4 fillings .I used this money to go to another dentist to be told the truth that I required only ONE filling and that one filling cost me 120 so what refund you are on about I don't know . How can you have dentists in there that are making stories up telling people they need work and they don't-take a look at yourselves and stop stealing people's money

Very disappointed as my partner booked a hygienist appointment over a month in advance which he needed before moving overseas, only to turn up and be told that their policy has changed and now you have to see a dentist within a certain number of months before being allowed to see a hygienist. We were not even told this before turning up at the appointment. A huge waste of time as we had to work our time around going to this appointment and have obviously not booked another appointment elsewhere, so now he may not be able to see a dentist or hygienist before leaving the country as there are long wait lists everywhere! Even still I see that the booking form online does not advise of this, so I am sure other people have experienced the same thing. Very frustrating. Edit: although the owner has replied to this saying they are trying to contact my partner, they have not done so. They have his phone number yet he hasn't received any communication from them. Also, we have tried to call them numerous times throughout today and no one has been picking up.

I simply cannot say enough about how wonderful the people here are. Compassion, kindness, intelligence, discretion and top notch, pain free dentistry. I have a complex health issue that they have accommodated with ease and like it's the normal thing to do. Fabulous.

Two separate visits to Lumino PN. If the first hadn’t gone well, there wouldn’t have been a second. Both exceeded expectations. Both went better than I dared hope. Both involved quite complex work which was explained carefully, and I was offered the option of a second opinion. I didn’t need it. I trusted my dentist to know her trade and was not wrong. The work was done quickly and sensitively, not to mention it was virtually painless, and completely fear-free. Highly recommended.

Two of my bottom teeth that have had a root canal about 12 month ago have collapsed in an now my nerves are exposed to anything and everything that goes in my mouth. One of my damaged tooth is that sharp that it's like having a razor blade in my mouth.. I am not asking for anymore extractions because I'll have no teeth in the back of my jaw to chew on solid foods. I am a unfortunate customer which I am paying off my current dental bill but don't want to be paying for the stuff ups that have occurred.
