This was my first time with Dr. Lukenda & Lukenda Dental. I recently switched my insurance and he was the closest general dentist (just 5 minute drive from my house!). Other than participating with my dental insurance, I knew nothing about him or his practice. Dr. Lukenda is GREAT. He has a quiet demeanor, is professional and obviously knows his stuff (and then some). My teeth were a mess. For years, many of my teeth have been chipping and 2 previous dentists recommended that I see a prosthodontist and warned me that the work that I needed to get done would be very, very expensive. Dr. Lukenda thought my case was complicated and challenging but he was up for it. Fourteen crowns later (told you it was bad), my smile looks great but more importantly, I can chew normally again without irritating my gums where the teeth were badly worn down and without pain and discomfort when getting food stuck in the cracks and crevices. He ended up not doing all the work I was told needed to be done so thankfully it didn't cost as much as I dreaded (and had put off for years because I couldn't afford it). It was not a pain-free experience (dental work hurts--it's a fact of life) but Dr. Lukenda was careful and methodical and made sure I was properly anesthetized at all times. My gums were sore for 2-3 weeks but they slowly but surely healed up and recovered well. My case took 3 separate visits, including a 4 hour-marathon one day. I was so impressed by how well Dr. Lukenda and his dental assistant Sharon worked together and almost wordlessly. Sharon knows her stuff too and anticipated Dr. Lukenda's needs and she was attentive to my comfort at all times. Paula who sits at the reception desk but does everything else (insurance, assists Dr. Lukenda when needed) is courteous and helpful. The office space itself is bright, clean and welcoming. I am so happy to have found Dr. Lukenda and strongly recommend Lukenda Dental. They are amazing. read more

GREAT OFFICE CULTURE!!! It's beautiful, high tech, super clean and bright. We were greeted with a warm smile by the staff and Dr. Lukenda which sets a delightful atmosphere for guests and patients. The online registration was a breeze also. My brother is visiting from Europe and discovered he had pain and infection so we called Dr. Lukenda's office and they were able to see him right away!! We were all worried if he didn't seek dental care ASAP how the air pressure from the plane would impact him on his return. Dr. Lukenda is highly professional and has such a calming presence that puts one at ease instantly. He was compassionate with my brother giving him options and an appropriate prescription. We are grateful! Paula was especially informative as my brother does not have insurance here in the States. She gave us a copy of the bill that he can submit to his insurance for reimbursement. How thoughtful and rare is to concern one's self with the patient's best interest, even outside the office. I'm so happy with Lukenda Dental that I'm referring everyone here. read more

All my life I was fortunate enough to have the most beautiful teeth and always got compliments on how white and prefect they were but in the last few years they really begain to deteriorate and become embarrassing because my previous dentist retired and I couldn't find someone I was comfortable with until now. I was very lucky to find Dr. Lukenda, he made me a bridge with extensive reconstruction that matched my original teeth so perfectly that nobody realizes they aren't my originals and I am again getting compliments like "you still have the whitest most beautiful teeth after all these years". You would never know they weren't mine. He is amazing in his patience and care and I couldn't be happier with the results and would recommend him and his wonderful staff to anybody who is looking for perfect teeth. Thank you Dr. Lukenda for changing my life so much and making me comfortable and proud of my smile again. PS he also is extremely good with Botox and fillers!!! Lori A. read more

If you are like me and your teeth could use a complete overhaul, Dr.Lukenda is the dentist to see. I met Dr. Lukenda when I had an emergency and he discussed my options. A full mouth dental implants was what I always dreamed of but was told by other dentists that my bone was no good. Dr Lukenda said he could do it, and do it he did.He is a wizzard at securing implants so I decided to do it. Almost a year later I feel like it has been a life changing choice. Today I feel like I have my own teeth and he will have your back with any small adjustments to be made. Simply put, Dr. Lukenda changed my life and I strongly urge anyone suffering with bad teeth which cannot be fixed in the traditional way, HE IS THE MAN TO SEE. Life changing decision and so,so glad I found him. (now I'm gonna go have a steak and for dessert a apple..lol. Don't wait, make the leap. You won't regret it. Go see the genius.. read more

If you read any reviews for this Dentist, read this one... This is not just a story of a good trip to the dentist. It's a fully honest and unembellished account of how the Lukenda dental organization took what might have been the worst day of my medical history and with each visit turned it around a full 180 degrees. Not only did this office accomplish all this during a pandemic with a safe and sterile environment; not only did they actually change my personal comfort level regarding dentist visits; they turned a negative prognosis into a smile that TRULY is better than the one I walked in with TIMES 10!!! The atmosphere, the attention to detail, the professionalism and the leadership in this office is not just the benchmark in the dental industry, it literally is the physical manifestation of a successful business. read more

I had my initial session today and from the outset, I had nothing but a positive experience. I was greeted immediately and in a welcoming manner by the front office staff and was brought back into the exam room within a reasonable timeframe. The assistant, Nora, was friendly and compassionate making sure to explain what she was going to do before doing it. Dr Lukenda presented himself as professional, knowledgeable, efficient and without pushing any type of unnecessary or unwanted interventions in my direction. Lastly, the young lady at the front desk (Lauren, I believe) who scheduled my follow up appointment was friendly and accommodating. This was an absolutely seamless appointment and I look forward to returning. read more

I went to this office for the first time and was utterly impressed. The office is modern and super clean. The entire staff was warm and professional. More importantly, I had fantastic results. I went in for Zoom teeth whitening and my teeth have never been so white. The entire procedure was explained to me from start to finish. Every step of the way I was told what was being done and what to expect. I was comfortable to the point that I literally fell asleep. I highly recommend this office. If you want white teeth, do not hesitate, it will be the best money you ever spend! I will be coming here for all my future dental needs. read more

I came to Dr. Lukenda's office in trouble, I went to my old dentist's office being told he had sold the practice...let's just say I NEVER should have gone there. After two weeks of absolute pain I remembered Dr. Lukenda helped my husband one night when he was in our old office and I heard that he opened a beautiful modern office in Clark. I called I admit I was in tears...within hours they had me in to see Dr. Lukenda. I walked out yesterday after some major work and this evening I feel less discomfort then I have had in weeks. We have found the best and we are so grateful! Thank you Dr. Lukenda and your team! read more

I really can not thank them enough for their patience and compassion with me. I am beyond nervous at the dentist but they never once made me feel embarrassed or ashamed because of it.
