The Lumen difference
Not a clinic.
A quiet studio.
We see fewer patients on purpose. No conveyor belt, no upsell - just time, craft, and a room that doesn’t feel like a dentist’s.
/01
Calm by design
Suites with daylight, noise-cancelling headphones, weighted blankets and a clinician who explains everything before it happens. Sedation on hand for anyone who needs it.
/02
Craft over volume
Longer appointments, an in-house ceramist, and finish-work checked under magnification. We’d rather do one smile beautifully than ten in a hurry.
/03
Quietly advanced
3D scanning, digital smile previews and same-day crowns - technology that means fewer visits and no surprises, never gadgetry for its own sake.

“First dentist I’ve not dreaded. They talked me through every step and the veneers look completely natural.”

“The studio feels more like a spa. I had sedation for my implant and genuinely don’t remember a thing.”
Priya S.★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Honest about what I didn’t need, which I’ve never had at a dentist. The whitening alone changed how I photograph.”

Questions, answered.
Still unsure? Our front desk is happy to talk it through - no pressure, no jargon.
Most of our patients came to us anxious. We offer everything from gentle, narrated appointments to oral and IV sedation, plus longer slots so nothing feels rushed. Tell us at booking and we’ll plan around it.
We’re an out-of-network studio, which lets us spend more time with you. We provide everything you need to claim from your insurer, and most patients find our membership simpler and better value than a dental plan.
Porcelain veneers start at $1,100 per tooth, but every smile is different. Your consultation includes a digital preview and a written plan with a fixed price - no estimates that creep, and 0% finance over up to 24 months.
Yes - that’s the whole point of our smile design process. We scan your teeth and show you a 3D preview of the finished result, and for many cosmetic cases we can fit a temporary “test drive” smile before anything is permanent.
We’re on Franklin Street in Tribeca, two minutes from the Franklin St 1 train. There’s a parking garage on Varick Street, and we validate for treatment appointments over two hours.
