    Luminous Smiles

    Amazing! After 48yrs of grinding my teeth and what has been identified by Dr Desai as a previously uncorrected bite, I had worn my teeth down past the enamel and into the dentine layer below. Left untreated I would most likely start losing teeth in the near future. As a working professional this did not sound appealing to me. Dr Desai and her fantastic team were recommended to me by girlfriend and I can only say a million thanks! I have received a full dental restoration with a corrected bite and a new smile! Thank you Luminous Smiles!

    I was a patient at Luminous Smiles for over 3 years and kept returning despite the pressure to spend more money and get the veneers they kept encouraging to get. I have a beautiful smile and was slightly offended. After the initial discussion about veneers, they would ask me at every cleaning when I wanted to get veneers. Most recently I had to reschedule an appointment because my son ended up in the Emergency Room two times and also had surgery, which was all in one month. As a mother, I put my son's medical needs before my dental work. I simply needed to postpone cavity work by a couple of months. Lisa, the office manager, was extremely rude and laughed at me when I was honest with her that I wanted to delay my dental work due to the sudden medical expenses for my son. Lisa said "it's only $***, it's not a big deal" and was belittling me. I asked her why she was trying to make me feel bad. Lisa continued to be blatantly rude to me. As I read the consistent reviews about Lisa being rude, I'm sad for their practice that they continue to have Lisa be the first point of contact and represent Luminous Smiles. I have an appointment in 1 week, but just received a letter (picture attached) from my insurance that Luminous Smiles dropped me! I have always shown up on time, paid on time and I thought that I had a decent relationship with Dr. Desai. If you're not willing to be a large stream of revenue for their practice, I strongly suggest looking somewhere else.

    I visited Dr. Desai at Luminous Smiles today for the first time. When I first walked in, it felt as if I had stepped into a spa but instead of getting my nails done I was about to get my teeth done! From checking in with Manny the receptionist to having x-rays completed by Jennifer the hygienist to having an through exam with deep cleaning with Dr. Desai, everything was absolutely perfect. The environment is calming and relaxing. Not something you would expect at the dentist office. There was a moment I dosed off as I waited for my mouth to become numb from the anesthesia. In my previous visits to a dentist office I would have been sitting there tense and clutching onto the chair. Dr. Desai is thoughtful in her process, she explains everything clearly, she is gentle and diligent during the procedure and you can sense her passion for dentistry. Worth the drive and every penny. I have found my new permanent dentist!!!!

    This is my most favorite dentist office ever! I've come here for my 6 month cleanings the last year…read moreand I truly can't imagine going to another dentist. Upon entering the office, you're met with a cozy waiting area where Dr. Saliba greets you himself. His office desk is right next to the door. There are 3 cozy chairs and a cute wall clock in the waiting area. There is only ONE patient chair so you really get a personal experience with the hygienist and doctor. You won't be put in a dentist chair and stuck waiting for someone to come in like at other offices! The chair itself is also really comfy with a scooped headrest. I love that they clean teeth with distilled water- it's really necessary when working in such a vulnerable part of the body! The hygienist is incredibly gentle and also pats my face when it gets a bit messy. Everyone is just so nice here and I'm referring others to this dentist. It's just that good!

    If I could give Dr. Taylor and her staff more than 5 stars, I would! I'd give them 100 if Yelp let…read moreme. I made the mistake of skipping a whole lot of routine dental visits. Years worth. Many more than I care to admit. I can't say where my dental stress/anxiety stemmed from exactly or how it got to the point of avoiding routine visits, but it did--to the point that I felt physically ill going into my first appt with Dr. Taylor a few months ago, but I had no choice, because I ended up with a very painful, swollen spot on my gums and knew I needed to get everything taken care of finally. From that first visit with Dr. Taylor and her assistant, Stephanie, my stress decreased immensely, visit by visit. Stephanie is warm, calm, and kind. Dr. Taylor is incredibly energetic and chipper--in the best way. She told me numerous times that I'd be just fine...I just needed to get everything squared away and I'd be as good as new. She never once made me feel guilty or ashamed of the amount of work I needed done or how it got to that point. She never lectured me--I'm an adult, and I knew what I should have been doing, but I just wasn't mentally/emotionally able for a period of time, and I think the lectures were exactly what I was dreading, so I was grateful that they never came. Every time, she would just casually and cheerfully remind me that they were glad I was there, and that everything I needed done was no big deal; that I'd be just fine once it was taken care of. I didn't really believe her at first, I'll be honest. I thought I had created so much damage with my lack of care, that there was no way my mouth would ever feel normal again. Turns out, she knows what she's doing, and she was right. A deep cleaning to deal with my initial issues, 2 root canals (one done by Dr. Taylor and one referred out), 2 crowns, and a bunch of fillings later, I absolutely feel normal again--better than normal. I still need my wisdom teeth out at some point, but I feel mentally able to conquer that after all my "practice" here. I also now look forward to the point when I can start Invisalign (where I previously avoided it my entire adult life because I would do anything to avoid additional dental work if I could). I'm so thankful to have found this office, and I feel confident I can keep up with everything from here on out with their help, and that's such a relief! Many, many thanks!

    So grateful to have Dr Susan Taylor as my dentist. Actually look forward to going to her office…read more Have had a lot of different difficult tooth repairs and always amazed at how great the procedures went. Beautiful work, calm relaxing atmosphere and truly a wonderful dentist and staff. Thank you for making my dental experience a great one.
