Lumino Sanctuary Dental | Lumino The Dentists

I saw Dr Nate at Sanctuary Dental after many years of avoiding dentists because of my fear. He has restored my confidence and faith in dentists. So gentle and understanding. All the staff are lovely and caring, and the environment also makes you feel at ease. I will be making this place my go to for future dental check ups and treatment.

BEST DENTIST EVER EVER EVER. Thank you sooo much Yvonne. I loathe to recommend you to everyone because you will get too busy and I won't be able to get back in again!! ; ) BUT I DO!! I run two clinics in Auckland and routinely recommend my clients see Yvonne, she is one of only a small group (less than I can count on one hand) dentists in New Zealand that I trust is keeping up with research and delivers WORLD CLASS service. ALL pain-free. Thank you so much. I am so grateful to have met you and will keep singing your praises. x

Hands down the best dentist to go to! The receptionist Lindsey goes above and beyond and really makes you feel welcomed! The hygienist Gian (I’m not sure how to spell his name) does a great job and was educating me along the way! They were able to fit me in on the same day. If you’re looking for a new dentist visit this team! They are amazing.

It's a small thing but they have a large welcoming (with windows) waiting area. As to the approach, it is very gentle with actions explained. They are very understanding of nerviness. If you have a fear of dentists and dental work these are the people for you.

As a 33 yo Male with strong baby boomer tendancies who had been too busy to go to the dentist since 2006 this was going to be interesting. After being physically escorted into the building by my wife I soon realised escape was futile. From the friendly staff on reception to the lovely dentist who distracted me after I discovered possible escape through the lift shaft the initial experience was great. A lovely waiting area which was definitely not like the abattoir I had experienced last decade! Again escorted to the chair I noticed the smiling faces and lack of power tools things were looking up. Not a cordless drill in sight. As the sedation especially chosen because of the chicken I am was administered with utmost care I drifted to somewhere fabulous. After awakening to a frustrated work colleague of mine who had been waiting 1m 47 seconds on the phone for me to remember why I called him I recall nothing. My wife tells me that all the staff were fantastic and very helpful to a difficult pre boomer like me. The icing on the cake was the phone call on Saturday to see how I was! My own kids didn't even ask that! Will definitely recommend Sanctuary Dental thanks guys!

The waiting room at Sanctuary Dental feels like the drawing room of a fancy hotel; natural light, spacious, book shelves that make you feel like you are in someone's home, chilled music and air con (thank god!).Yvonne and her staff are FANTASTIC!! After having a lot of dental work (not always pleasant work) done at other clinics I'm so relieved to have found them! Yvonne has a perfect balance of being self assured and confident with what she is doing but is also super tuned into you as the patient. She's very sensitive to your needs, making sure that you are doing ok throughout. I needed a couple of fillings, Yvonne let me know about the different options (one included fluoride). She gave me the facts but didn't sway me and also didn't rush me while I phoned my partner as I was unsure about what to do. During the actual procedure, she made sure that enough anesthetic was given so that I wasn't in any discomfort at all and I actually managed to relax! If you feel nervous about the dentist, THIS is the place for you, I can't recommend them highly enough! :)Gemma. M - Auckland

I can not fault Sancury Dental.I went there knowing I was in need of alot of work to keep me going for years to come.I was very nervous, having had BAD dental experiences.I was So nervous I almost walked out. Three appointments on and im so pleased with my dental work. Jagdeep and Karvia (sorry for spelling) are amazing.So gentle, caring and Professional. I will never go anywhere else, have and will recommended Sancury.Lindsey is also lovely at reception to welcome you in.

Absolutely amazing service - they got me an appointment at short notice …twice. From the two lovely receptionists, the dentist and her assistant and the hygienist. I’m a very nervous customer but they all put me at ease. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Dental Botany.

They wanted to change my months-in-advance appointment time just days before my booking. When I had a conflicting appointment and declined the change in time, they cancelled my appointment. Reason: there is an emergency.

The best dentist I have been to, many of the details about the clinic were what I had hoped for on one of the last dental visits years ago at a different clinic - they got everything right! This Dental practice is not at all sterile - has all the right touches & fantastic care from start to finish. Pain free. An actually relaxing experience from someone that has had bad child hood experience & dislikes sterile environments & panics I can't believe I actually enjoyed going to the Dentist, thank you so much the dentist(s) & all staff are amazing & dedicated to what they do.
