★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went here and got told I needed 4 fillings and the sore tooth I had was a large hole. I didn't believe I could need that much work and to be charged $220 for the large fillings as well as the two small fillings . Decided to go a previous dentist in Palmy I had been to before for a second opinion to be told I one had ONE small filling and was charged $120 for it to be fixed . The sore tooth I had as from me brushing that tooth too much and had exposed the root which is now a simple fix with using toothpaste as an ointment so where was the large hole I had in that tooth and the other two non exsistant holes ? Very disappointed.clearly a money making place to tell patients they have something wrong when they don't .I am so glad I went elsewhere or I would of wasted $1000 on work I didn't need doing . Actually looking at taking this further -it is not right .I paid $69 for a check up and x-ray only to be lied to .
Edited to say what refund ???
I never got refunded the x-ray and consultation that I wasted my money on . I got my $300 back that I deposited down to get my teeth fixed when I got told I had 4 fillings .I used this money to go to another dentist to be told the truth that I required only ONE filling and that one filling cost me $120 so what refund you are on about I don't know .
How can you have dentists in there that are making stories up telling people they need work and they don't-take a look at yourselves and stop stealing people's money

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Being a person who has had bad experiences with dentists and feeling a lot of the pain, Hala was the bees knees. Other than those buggers of needles I have to get stabbed with to make it pain free, I sit back, throw on some headphones and listen to a movie. Wouldn't say they are cheapest dentists but Id take service over price any day.
Hala is like my fairy godmother of teeth, she waves some s%*t about with wand-like tools, though a little more grisly sounding, makes the pain go away all the while keeping a smile on her face. I can honestly say, my teeth are nothing to smile about, I could single handedly keep them employed with my disaster mouth. Theres more highlights on her chart than there are on my study notes. She could say with some certainty "see you soon" and wouldn't be wrong, Im like the gift that keeps on giving.
I kind of have a reverse subscription, I pay money for things to get taken away, pain and parts of my teeth (albeit, the worst parts).
Aside from this waffle, I'd just like to say, yeah check em out, Ive only used Hala as my dentist at Lumino, but based on herself, and her assistants, Im pretty confident in recommending her.
Good team, good service, and the new filling stuff on teeth has an interesting smell if anyones interested to know.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went here to have my teeth fixed for my wedding. My biggest concerns was that I had 2 gaps in my top half (very noticeable at the front) they decided to fix a chip that was in my two front teeth which didn't even bother me as I'd rather have a small chip than 2 gaps which was right next to it. Was told she was going to fill it, instead she filed my front 2 teeth to where they don't even look like they belong in my mouth anymore as they're extremely short. Then tried to save a tooth by doing a root canal, there's was no way they could save that tooth as it was pretty much just the root but then also charged me to have it
extracted the same day. I don't see why I needed to pay for root canal on a tooth they were gonna have to extract anyways cause it was so far gone. I was quoted $2000 for my whole top half to be fixed and it was $2000 and I've still got gaps. Had to then go to another dentist cause luminos couldn't even achieve what they promised so I'm now forking out another $850.00 to get a plate made. Not happy with the service I feel very ripped off and if you can't do what I've asked then don't start doing what you want cause it's more expensive. Hopefully I can get married without gaps in my mouth because you left it too late to get sorted and promised something you couldn't deliver on. Also don't know how you quoted me for 4 teeth to be done and it was gonna be $2000 and it's actually worked out to be $2850. Go here if your looking to be ripped off and not get what you asked for. One of the biggest dentist scammers in Palmerston North. Would have given you no stars but they don't have that option ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had a very positive experience at Lunimo Palmerston North. All of the staff, from the receptionist and hygienist to the dentist and his dental assistant were extremely friendly and professional. They were very reassuring in their approach and made what can be a potentially stressful situation a very positive one. I would highly recommend their services.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I simply cannot say enough about how wonderful the people here are. Compassion, kindness, intelligence, discretion and top notch, pain free dentistry. I have a complex health issue that they have accommodated with ease and like it's the normal thing to do. Fabulous. 4 years later and I wouldn't trust anyone else more with my teeth than Hala. Incredible.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lied. Dentist stated I needed all these fillings.I couldn't get in before Christmas so I booked in with another Lumino out of town to retain my plan. I had felt no xray was done of the tooth in pain. It was confirmed with me by the out of town dentist that that tooth was missed in the scan, AND that I didn't need any fillings at all and that was just my sinuses causing pain as she could see that on the scan. All these years later.. No issues.go here if you want to be ripped off and have worse teeth than when you left.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Do not recommend unfortunately. I booked in December concerned about my gums and the earliest they could give me an appointment was February- I wanted a clean but the first appointment needed to be a new customer one. I arrived for this appointment and was told that it was never written down and sent home even though I had left work early to make the appointment. When I arrived home they rang me and asked if I was Daniel and why I was late for my appointment and I said I am Danielle and was just there are you sent me home, so frustrating! When I finally had that appointment the dentist was very rude and blunt. I then paid for that and booked my cleaning appointment which was cancelled a few days before. I have now just received contact that my appointment is cancelled again, it is April now. I understand that Covid affects things but not once has anyone tried to bump me up a list.
