Taradale Dentist, Napier - Lumino The Dentists

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous about my appointment today and apprehensive. I was made to feel so relaxed during my treatment. Thank you Andrew... You are such a easy kick-back dentist..

Negative experience: Poor value. My daughter was quoted $146 for an annual check up which she was told included a clean. Got there and the dentist spent about 5 min poking around and did a 2 min clean, then charged us $211!!!! For a 7 min visit! Teeth didn't even get the treat of being properly cleaned! Not happy.

Negative experience: So overpriced for such low service , don't recommend

Negative experience: Horrible experience Charged $211 for a 4 minute clean and a half ass check of my teeth. Extremely overpriced for minimal service

Fantastic experience: This team is absolutely amazing and Andrew is super friendly. Thanks for the referral team.

Fantastic experience: Dr Andrew Steele and Emma & Co: First class

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this Dentist for close to four years now and never have I enjoyed it as much as today.! Yes I know it doesn't sound right having the words enjoyment and Dentist in the same sentence and I was equally confused. Elsie is a hygienist and it was my first appointment with her... Never has a hygienist gone to the same amount of lengths to ensure my comfort.. Elsie was easy to understand and very thorough with her advice on best practice moving Forward.. Please do you and your teeth a favor and go to Elsie in the future !! Thanks for listening

Fantastic experience: Thank you Paola and Marissa for your first class dental service. Loved Marissa's sing a long. Best dental care in the bay.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Paola!! My partner had work done to fix her smile and we are absolutely over the moon! Thank you so much Paola for the work you done on Taylor ❤️

Fantastic experience: Paolo has been the most amazing dentist who inspires confidence when you feel nervous about dental procedures. I highly recommend her both for her skills, professionalism and experience and her personality. Thank you for your expert treatment.

Fantastic experience: my choice of dentist to fix my teeth was on point.

Fantastic experience: During my whole dental treatment of multiple appointments I felt extremely at easy and well looked afterwards by the lovely dentist Paola Fenton and her assistant Mareesa. Highly recommended Paola to anyone who is after a very thorough and aring dentist.

Fantastic experience: As someone who experiences anxiety for dental work they were very understanding and supportive throughout my appointments. Their staff are lovely. Thank you very much for being awesome

Fantastic experience: I am new to lumino, Taradale, but the staff made me feel very comfortable. I was taken care by Paola Fenton who is such a wonderful person. She made me feel relaxed and was gentle for the whole treatment. I would highly recommend lumino and Paola. The way she greeted and welcomed and made me comfortable was such a pleasant experience and made me calm before the treatment. Thanks much Paola. You are wonderful

Fantastic experience: I recently joined the Lumino practice in Taradale. Wow what a fantastic team of people! My dentist Dr Paola Fenton is amazing, so caring, informative, professional and awesome results. I would highly recommend both Paola and her team to anyone who was wanting great results provided in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Thankyou :)

Fantastic experience: I can recommend Paulo as she is a great , sensitive dentist. I have been going to see her for a number of years as she is the only dentist that I trust. I am of a generation where we had bad experiences of school dentists and because of this I have a great fear of dentists. Without Paulo I believe my teeth would not be as good as they are

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, absolutely lovely staff.

Fantastic experience: I have been with Paola Fenton at Luminos Dentists in Taradale for 8 years. She is outstanding with both customer care and treatments. Paola is always welcoming, friendly, gentle, professional & thoughtful; without a doubt she is the best dentist I have ever had, and I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a dentist or who wants to change to one with the mentioned qualities! Thank you Paola!! Adrienne

Fantastic experience: I have never liked dentists, I get really nervous and scared. Since coming to Lumino Dentist Taradale, it's been awesome. They all are so very friendly and welcoming. All the procedures are explained to me so I know what is happening and what is going on. I have been coming here for about 6 years now, and will keep coming back!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Paola is an amazing dentist, shes always greets me with a smile and genuine conversation. She has gone the extra mile for me, with all the work I have needed done. She has given me good advice on my different options. Always fits me in on my days off. I highly recommend Paola! Thank you Paola for making my smile beautiful again!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this dentist for years. Love how friendly they all are. Paola puts me at ease and let’s me know how I can care for my teeth best between visits. I am always checked on throughout my session to make sure I am ok, which I always am.

Fantastic experience: The best dental care I have ever experienced! Paola and Marissa make a great team, they are both professional, kind and friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Paola and her team are so friendly and approachable. They always go above and beyond to ensure I’m comfortable during my appointment. Paola is amazing! I drive an hour and a half from another town just to get my teeth checked by her. I would highly recommend going to Paola at Lumino Taradale.

Fantastic experience: Paola & Marissa are amazing, after not going to the dentist for several years they helped me get my teeth back in check. They are so friendly and gentle, going to the dentist is not something to be feared with them and I would highly recommend them :)

Fantastic experience: I have been going here for 4 years now and i wouldn't go anywhere else. Paola and Marissa are fantastic! They always make me feel comfortable and in the best hands. Paola is the dentist you need!

Fantastic experience: Paola is an amazing, very caring and skilful dentist. The best I’ve ever had. Her assistant Rochelle was fantastic. Highly recommend. My crown looks amazing.

Fantastic experience: New patient and first visit to Lumino today. I was extremely impressed and more than satisfied with the service. Was greated by a lovely receptionist and then had a full examination with Paola and a lovely dental nurse. Very thorough check, x-ray, and charting of teeth. Further treatment plan discussed in full and was great to be supported with evidence from the exam. Discount for southern cross members was much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Paola and her assistant for any professional dental services. I have been a patient of Paola's for the past 5 years and I have not once had a bad experience/appointment. I always feel listened too and accommodated for. My recent visit was for fillings. I had not had any fillings for over 10 years and I was feeling very anxious about this. Paola and her assistance delivered a painless procedure and the job was done in an excellent timely manner. Thank you so much for making my experience with yourself and the team friendly and comfortable.

Fantastic experience: In April 2021 I had a broken tooth in the front and didn’t know how could I solve my problem. Paola’s advice was on crowns at the front teeth and I also needed 4 fillings replaced. Paola did a great a great job and she was absolutely outstanding. Recently I managed to break another tooth and rather than having it removed Paola managed to save it with another crown. So Paola came to the rescue once more. It was a good team effort with Paola, Mareesa, and Rochelle. Thank you very much ladies for caring and looking after me. Marie Hope. Oct 2021.

Fantastic experience: Going to the dentist made easy! My first trip in a while needing fillings!! A relaxed atmosphere, from reception right through to the dental chair. I commented to Paola the dentist and Rochelle the chair side assistant how awesome they worked together, gentle while guiding me through the whole way. Painless and stress free, Thanks ladies! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this business. Poala has a calm and relaxing demeana and is always informative and strives for perfection in her work. She is ably assisted by Rochelle and together they could best be described as the dynamic duo of dentistry. Love your work girls!

Fantastic experience: Thank you very much Paola and Marissa (I hope I spelt your names right) for your very professional and caring treatment of my teeth. I will be recommending yous to everyone I know and definitely will return with another playlist for us to listen to. Thanks again

Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful experience at Lumino The Dentists in Taradale today, the staff were so friendly and made me feel so calm and relaxed. The Dentist Paola was very gentle in my mouth and kept me informed on what was happening through out . Good price for the dental work. I highly recommend Paola at Taradale -Lumino the dentists, as they gave a good service at a great price.

Fantastic experience: If you are "dentist phobic" then look no further than the lovely Dr Paola and her assistant Mareesa to rid you of any fears. Dr Paola will calmly explain what treatment is best suited for you and invite you back for the treatment. Once seated a numbing cream was spread onto my gums so I wouldn't feel the needle go in. I also had a sensitivity to adrenalin, so a different anaesthetic was used. Photos were shown to me explaining why I had been suffering with pain. During the procedure I felt very comfortable and almost felt like dosing off! Dr Paola even massaged my jaw joint when my mouth had been open for awhile. So, I would definitely make an appointment with her, if you are at all afraid, because she will allay any fears. Will definitely return if necessary in the future. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more complimentary on Dr. Paola Fenton's chairside manner, precise attention to detail and perfect delivery on what was a difficult proceedure over a six month period.

Fantastic experience: Really lovely place and my dentist, Paola, is always really friendly! Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: What a welcoming and accommodating business. My visit was partially cosmetic and I am thrilled with the result. I was under some time pressure and appointments were moved around and breaks foregone to fit me in. Many thanks to Paola (dentist) and Rochelle (chairside) for your expertise, efficiency and genuine care throughout the 2 1/2 hours it took.

Fantastic experience: My son Michael Hijazeen had his baby teeth extracted on Thursday . Very please with excellent service with Paola the Dentist and Rachelie the Dental Assistant. Michael was extremely anxious. They managed to relax him with every stage. I would totally recommend using Lumino Taradale Dentist.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Have had such a great experience with Paola. Very professional and excellent service.

Fantastic experience: I had great appointments with dentist Paola and nurse Marissa. They both made me feel relaxed with their added personal approach too. I also loved the fact they played music of my choice in the background, which we all enjoyed btw. Left there feeling job well done, also with a smile to boot. Just a shame I have moved to Auckland now. Hope my new dentistry team also fits the bill like these two.

Fantastic experience: Very professional service from Paola and Linda. Appreciated the chance to ask questions and get clear answers. Prices in line with the services provided. Cheers, Bill Sutton PhD

Fantastic experience: Paola and Marietta are a great team, felt very comfortable. I was pleased with the high quality of work and have referred many friends.

Fantastic experience: Jaimee the dental Hygienist was excellent. I couldn't recommend her more. I really appreciated her cheerful demeanour and the education/advice she gave, which was super clear and user friendly.

Fantastic experience: Very grateful for the attention given my by Paola Fenton and her team. I have at long last found a dentist passionate about her work and care of her patients. I have had dental problems since a child and feel fortunate to have found her. I recommend her 100%!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Taradale Lumino. Their state of the art facilities provide a comfortable service to all the needs of your teeth. Poala, the dentist who assisted me, was very good as she is a perfectionist.

Fantastic experience: After years of not seeing a dentist and quite honestly being terrified of going knowing a lot of work was required I met Paola and her team. Was very impressed with her manner and professionalism. Explained everything clearly and concise. Very happy with outcome so far, haven't finished yet. I wish I had her for my dentist years ago as probably wouldn't have the fear that I do. Would definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience: If you're new to the Hawkes' Bay and looking for a great dental practice, I'd highly recommend the team at Taradale. I've found them to be very friendly, professional and fair priced. Like many, I'm not a big fan of visiting the dentist, however Paola has a very relaxing and reassuring manner which puts me at ease, always gives straight up advice and explanation procedures clearly. If you're looking for a great dentist, look no further! - highly recommended

Fantastic experience: The years of neglecting my teeth are over because I love coming to see Jackie, Linda and Paola so much! Reminders come out to tell me its time and Linda is so patient when booking and rebooking nothing is a problem. Jackie and Paola are a fabulous team who make me feel at ease every time I go. A huge thank you to the lumino lovely ladies.....

Fantastic experience: when I had my first consultation I was abit worried with what the out come would’ve been, very pleasant welcome from the receptionist and she was very lovely to talk too, my Dentist Paola was awesome and easy to talk to about the procedure and pricing as sometimes that can scare u away. Jackie was great too.
