Lumino Symes De Silva
About the Business
Welcome to Lumino Symes de Silva, a leading dental institution located in Wellington, New Zealand. Our practice was established in 1992 by Dr Graham Symes with the vision of providing quality dentistry at affordable prices. Recognizing the need for a dental practice that operates seven days a week, Dr Symes set up a one-surgery clinic on the ground floor of what is now known as Symes de Silva House on Courtenay Place.
What set us apart from other dental practices in Wellington was our commitment to charging standard prices on weekends, unlike the existing dental emergency roster system. This unique approach quickly earned us a good reputation in the area, leading to the expansion of our practice to include more dental chairs and a team of associate dentists. Among them was Ravi de Silva, who returned from the UK to join forces with his dental school friend Graham. Ravi eventually bought half of the practice from Graham in 1998, marking the beginning of Symes de Silva.
In 2003, our practice relocated to its current location on the first floor of Symes de Silva House. Over the years, we have established ourselves as a respected institution within the dental community, known for our commitment to excellence and patient care. We take pride in our long-term staff members and our dedication to mentoring young dentists, hygienists, and assistants. With eight surgeries and a team of 30 professionals, we are well-equipped to meet all your dental needs.
Situated at Level 1, Symes de Silva House, 97-99 Courtenay Place, Wellington, Lumino Symes de Silva offers a warm and friendly environment where you can feel confident in the hands of our highly trained dentists, hygienists, and support staff.

Reviews
"One of the Wellington Region’s best and largest dental clinics outfitted with the latest digital dental technology. Using cutting-edge modern technologies and materials, who provide expert advice to maintain the health of your teeth and gums."
"This place is going downhill. I'm the last of my family and friends moving to another dentist. I'm sick of repeatedly being treated like scum by the admin. Repeated cancellations hours before the appointment for doubious reasons and then have to wait for months again.Unfriendly, unqualified and rough admin Staff who don't care. Don't go here if you want a bettter experience."
"I'm a dentists worst nightmare, with very weak teeth and a slew of dental nurse stories which have left me with a dental phobia that would rival few. These guys were patient and caring and gently helped me step through a tooth extraction that I had delayed far too long. I felt listened to and was not pushed any faster than I was able to go. Emily, my dentist and her assistant (whose fingers I may have broken while holding her hand), were both amazing and Sharyn, their office manager was also brilliant, checking in on me and making sure I didn't bolt out the door before my appointment. I have a lot of work that still needs doing and I'm feeling that I can proceed with these people, which is saying a lot for me. I highly recommend these folk if you have any dreaded dental phobias or find the dentist a difficult place to visit."
"I've had to have a fair bit of work done recently, and for someone who generally isn't fond of going to the dentist, each time has been a positive experience here. Rebecca has been absolutely fantastic, and I feel at ease in her care. She explains everything concisely, goes the extra mile, and patiently answers any of my questions. I have had a wisdom tooth extracted by Andre, who was also fantastic - he explained everything clearly, addressed any of my concerns and kept me calm (I was quite nervous). The extraction went smoothly, was painless and quick! Lastly, I have had hygienist treatment with Louise, who was lovely and again, explained everything clearly to me and patiently answered any questions. Reception staff are polite and professional and whenever my appointment happens to run a bit late, I've never been rushed and get the most out of my appointment/time with the dentist."
"This is the best place ever to get your dental work done, especially for nervous and anxious patients. My family and I have been seeing Ravi for many years now and have all always had the best, pain free experience and results. Always on time, very easy to get an appointment, affordable, and all the staff are very helpful and kind. Ravi takes the time to answer all your questions and the receptionists at front desk are helpful and kind. Thanks, Symes de Silva!"
