Cosmetic & implant dentistry — est. 2009
Thirty-two reasonsto smile.
Veneers, implants and quiet artistry from a Wimpole Street studio that treats every tooth like it’s the front one.
You’ll forget you were ever afraid of the dentist.
Lumen exists for one moment — the first time you see your new smile and don’t look away.
The proof
Real mouths. Real porcelain. No filters.
Every case below was planned, made and placed in this building. Move across each smile — the light does the rest.
The treatments
Six ways in. One standard.
What actually happens
Five steps. No surprises.
Most people who avoid the dentist aren’t avoiding dentistry — they’re avoiding not knowing what’s coming. So here is exactly what’s coming.
01
A conversation, not a chair
Your first hour at Lumen happens in a sitting room, not a surgery. You talk, we listen, and you look through cases that started exactly where yours is starting.
60 minutes · no instruments · free
02
The scan
A small camera wand builds your whole mouth in 3D before your coffee goes cold. No trays of putty, no gagging, nothing to endure.
12 minutes · nothing touches you but light
03
The plan — and a preview
You see your result on screen before we begin, and for veneer cases you wear a temporary mock-up home for the weekend. Your friends vote before we do anything permanent.
trial smile included · nothing irreversible yet
04
The treatment
Numb before you know it, your own playlist in the ceiling speakers, and a hand signal that stops everything, instantly, no questions asked.
sedation available · you are in charge
05
The aftercare
We call the next morning to hear your voice, not your voicemail. Then we see you at ten days, ten months and ten years.
10-year porcelain guarantee · written down
At no point between these steps will you be handed a decision you weren’t prepared for, or a number you haven’t already seen.
The instruments
Precision you can actually feel.
The point of the equipment isn’t the equipment. It’s that every appointment gets shorter, calmer and more certain.

The scan
An intraoral camera stitches sixty thousand frames a second into a mouth you can turn in your hands. Nothing to bite down on, nothing to gag on.
1visit · start to crown
CEREC, same day
Crowns designed, milled from a porcelain block and placed between breakfast and the school run. No temporary, no second appointment.
0couriers · the lab is upstairs
The lab, one floor up
Our ceramicist works above the surgeries. Shade checks happen face to face, in daylight, while you wait with coffee.
3levels of sedation
Fear, engineered away
From noise-cancelling headphones to IV twilight. Fear is a solvable problem — we treat it as seriously as the dentistry.
The studio
This will not feel like a dentist.
A Wimpole Street townhouse with warm light and quiet rooms. No fish tank, no laminated posters, no smell of clove oil — coffee, mostly.
01 The treatment room · daylight and quiet
02 The corridor · oak and morning light
The clinicians
The people behind the porcelain.
Three specialists, one building, no rotating locums. The dentist who plans your case is the dentist who finishes it.

in writing
Numbers don’t design a smile. They do tell you who you’re trusting with one.
In their words
“I don’t cover my mouth in photos anymore. I didn’t even realise I’d been doing it for twenty years until my daughter pointed out that I’d stopped.”
“I chewed an apple on the day of surgery. I nearly cried in the car.”
“Nobody at work knew. People just kept telling me I looked well.”
The first thing you’ll do is smile at yourself.
The money part
Premium shouldn’t mean out of reach.
Three quiet facts about paying for this — so the price is a plan, never a surprise.
Spread it
0% finance over 12 months, longer terms from 5.9% APR. A full veneer case from £86 a month — less than most people’s gym-and-coffee habit.

Before you ask
The questions everyone actually has.
Honestly: you’ll feel the anaesthetic for about three seconds, and that’s usually the last thing you feel. Most veneer patients watch a film through treatment. If you’re anxious, sedation takes even the memory away — and a raised hand stops everything, instantly.
Veneers from £780 per tooth, implants from £2,400, Invisalign from £2,900 — but the honest answer arrives after your free consultation, as one written figure that includes everything: planning, the temporaries, the fitting, the follow-ups. That number never moves once you’ve seen it.
Veneers: three visits across about three weeks. A single implant: usually one surgery and a crown twelve weeks later. Invisalign: six to fourteen months, reviewed every six weeks. Same-day CEREC crowns: one appointment, start to finish.
Porcelain veneers last fifteen to twenty years when they’re planned properly — and ours carry a ten-year written guarantee. Implants, cared for, are effectively for life. Nothing we place is designed to be redone.
Then you’re our most common patient, not our most difficult one. Say the word ‘nervous’ when you book and we’ll schedule extra time, keep the first visit instrument-free, and walk you through sedation options from headphones to IV twilight.
The most reliable compliment our patients report is that nobody guessed. We keep whites inside what nature does, copy the tiny asymmetries that make teeth look real, and you approve a trial smile in your own mirror before anything is permanent.
Stop hiding it.Start wearing it.
