Four New Practices Join Lumino The Dentists

Four New Practices Join Lumino The Dentists’ Family

Lumino The Dentists has acquired four more high quality practices bringing the number of outlets for the burgeoning national dental health care provider to 48.

Gentle Dentists headed up by Dr Brian Joffe is a family and cosmetic dental practice on Main Highway in Ellerslie, Auckland. Gentle Dentists provides three sedation dentistry options to patients, IV Sedation Oral Sedation & Nitrous Oxide, which are especially useful for patients with a fear of dental treatment. The practice provides everything from children's dentistry and preventive care to cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening. It is also one of the only dental practices in the region to provide complete dental implant treatment.

Paul Burgess Dental in Collingwood Street Nelson is the first Lumino practice in the Tasman district. Paul has been practicing in Nelson for over 25 years. He has built up a very successful practice and has an excellent reputation. The practice is relatively modern having being refurbished in the late 1990s. Paul has a strong restorative practice with a hygienist. The three surgery premises will allow plenty of capacity for further expansion.

Kerry Hamilton on Devon St East New Plymouth, is the second Lumino The Dentists practice in New Plymouth, joining the company’s other practice in Lemon Street. Kerry has been practicing in New Plymouth for over 20 years. He has built up a very successful practice and has an excellent reputation. The Devon Street practice will relocate to a new site which will have four surgeries and room for expansion. Kerry is a high end dentist and CEREC user. He has an associate, hygienist and a visiting oral surgeon and endodontist.
