Burton & Brown Wellington | Lumino The Dentists

"Lumino Dentist seems to keep the bad fame around the country. In Auckland it is exactly the same as others described. My partner got a simple tooth filling and it got 39°C fever for three days. He doesn't suffer of anything. They also tell you to do so many unnecessary treatments."

"Unbelievably awful. The treatment I received was of a poor quality and had to be done again, with all the accompanying injections and pain. Worst of all, I still can't bite food properly 2 years later. My friend also visited here to get a wisdom tooth removed and got an infection in her jaw. UPDATE - 5 years on and it fell off. The first one I had from a different dentist lasted for over 20 years. My current dentist can't believe how much of my tooth had been sanded away and said the nerve is almost exposed and I'm likely to need a root canal."

"After my first hygiene session (which was around $250), I was asked to come back for a check up. Then I was given another session with the reason "The first hygienist didn't manage to remove everything" and got charged the same price again. Then they tried to book me for another session in the next 3 months. I asked why so early, normally people do this once every 6 months. The reception lady failed to answer my question and just moved the appointment to 6 months later. Dental service is already expensive enough so don't come here and spend more. Not to mention the process was more painful than my previous experience. Not recommended."

"Fantastic service! Clifford was so kind, gentle and friendly and calmed my nerves straight away, he showed me the photos and xrays he took and answered all my questions. I wont go anywhere else for dental work in Wellington now. I was terrified and he was so good at calming me down and forming a treatment plan for me. Cant speak highly enough about my experience!"
