Dentistry has evolved tremendously in my more than 20 years of private practice. Today, I see a dentist as someone who must wear multiple hats. A dentist is a doctor, an engineer and an artist. Moreover, it is essential that a dentist be an educator and a motivator.
I have understood that since I opened my first clinic more than 12 years ago, evolution and adaptation is essential in pursuing and staying true to my vision of dentistry. Hence my raison d’être for creating Lüminus. I believe in mentoring and impressing upon our personnel that the foundation of dentistry rests upon patient relationships built on trust, confidence, skill and exceptional care.
Lüminus is a reflection in investment for our patients. Education for our personnel and dentists by l’Institut Dentaire International, Spear Education and CEREC Doctors is funneled to grow our knowledge base and provide better treatment. Ultra-performing high-speed electrical handpieces, low-dose intraoral and panoramic X-ray machines, state-of-the-art CAD/CAM dental scanners and milling chambers for same day fabrication of dental restorations, are made available to improve patient experience.
Nevertheless, it is the dignity, respect, and kindness that we convey to all of our patients and amongst each other, that truly sets us apart.
