Yesterday, I came for my very first visit and was there over 2 hours. Set up the plan to get my teeth fixed and paid my full portion that is needed. Everyone was nice, the whole experience was welcoming and relaxed. Not 1 mention of a mask. Came back today and was informed that informed that I would have to sit in the car and they would call me when they were ready for me because I don’t wear a mask. Totally not the same welcoming place. I feel like they got my money so now they don’t have to “fit” what most of the reviews said in regard to how nice and welcoming everyone is. I don’t have COVID, I can’t wear masks and yesterday NOTHING was said the WHOLE time I was there. Not very happy, honestly makes me wonder what the work they do will really be like.

My appointment was to prepare for a crown after a root canal. Dr. Amanda Spradley was incredible. Great personality, warm and engaging. The young lady that assisted her was phenomenal also I wish I knew her name. Keep up the good work. Today the crown was installed. Dr was great and so was Sarah her asst. would definitely recommend.

I am truly disappointed with Luma Dentistry. I had work done there over a year ago. I recently moved due to a promotion and job change and after a year later I receive a phone call stating that my insurance didn’t pay all of what they were supposed to pay. When talking with Luma I asked why wasn’t I informed prior and that if I had I known I could have reached out to my insurance provider. The response they gave was that they dropped the ball and they are sorry. Imagine getting work done and over a year later you received a call saying you owe them. That is unacceptable, but to add on to this, they say they will look into this and I just receive a collections notice as they have given this to a collections agency. If you have had work done with Luma I would Highly suggest don’t get comfortable thinking that you are current because they will call you years later and state they didn’t get an item paid. I recommend to not go to Luma.

Everyone was friendly and cordial as usual. Talked me about the procedure. Was pleasantly surprised when he did not give any unnecessary medication that wasnt needed. I was not in any pain during or after the procedure. Grateful.

I am a cancer patient and the potential for problems can be huge. Dr. Soon was willing and very capable of dealing with my issue and did a tremendous extraction. I am thrilled with the results. While I am in minor pain, he also provided a pain med that would have dealt with it effectively. Since I also had chemotherapy the next day, I elected not to take it due to issues that might have arisen. All in all, Dr. Soon is experienced, fearless, and incredibly experienced with his field. Five stars to him and his team.

The ladies at the front desk were very nice and welcoming but they were a good bit more expensive than the other dentist that I talk to.

Excellent! I made my appointment online over the holiday weekend. It uploaded all my insurance info and new patient info leaving nothing to fill out when I arrived! They were able to take me in the first business day for a root canal and get it finished the same day. They had a professional approach and the dentist and assistant were excellent. The staff up front handled my insurance and payment. Everything was smooth and flawless. We are going to visit for our regular check ups. This is a great group!

We just had procedure of 2 caps and 9 fillings. Dr. Ted and associates were fantastic. They called and check on her the following two days. Luma Dentistry is great. They made my 17 year old daughter as comfortable as possible to get the work done. Thank you.

I have been a patient of Luma Dentistry for about 8 years now, and I do not have one negative thing to say about them.Yesterday, I was in extreme pain with two different teeth. They got me in within hours of calling, they evaluated the problem, and then performed my surgery within an a half-hour of signing in. They said that they didn’t want me to have another night of tooth pain. So, the fact that they treated my issues so quickly, shows me exactly how much they care about their patients. They made me as comfortable as they could considering the circumstances. They also treated me with compassion, empathy, respect, & professionalism.Thank you, Luma Dentistry!!! I am so glad that this community has such wonderful people to care for our dental health.

Dr. Haring as well as his staff was polite, professional and present. I felt at ease when discussing my dental needs and questions, which were answered in a way that I could understand and was able to make decisions before I left.Very pleasant experience.

Everything was amazing from the time I walked in the front door all the way up to now I was taken care of as if I was the only patient at the time. Dr Shah has called me from his personal cell phone after hours checking on me himself. Jennifer his assistant was also amazing and took care of me anyway she could. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. I drove from out of town to have my problems fixed and I will continue to use them it’s worth the drive for the customer service.

My experience was fantastic. I told the young lady who cleaned my teeth that I had a Bad experience the 1st time I ever got my teeth cleaned I really didnt want to do that again. She walked me through every step made me feel relaxed and comfortable and before I knew it I was done. I am thankful for everyone who took care of me and most important it is very clean In the facilities

Scheduled an appointment on short notice and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. A filing had fallen out and I had a gapping whole in my mouth. But as usual, Luma and Dr. Wendy did a great job and I no longer have a hole in my head. Thank you.

I am typically not a fan of dentist visits (who is really?), but I did not feel the normal apprehension with Luma. Everyone (from the front desk to the hygienist to the dentist) was professional, courteous and friendly. They seemed interested in making the visit as simple and pleasant as possible. And it was.

Qst time visit was in major pain. Instead of treating me as a fristti.e patient they address my issue which was pain. Ended up having to get a tooth pulled and the doctor was extremely informing and reassuring. Made sure i was in no pain through the entire procedure. And was out of there within a hour. Will be returning as a long term customer/ patient

Everyone is extremely nice and helpful!! It’s a 5 star facility with a 5 star staff!! I love Dr. Wendy and I highly recommend her!! If you are like me and you get a little apprehensive when visiting the dentist, she makes sure you are comfortable and at ease!! She explains each procedure step by step and helps you breathe through it!! Her “bedside manner” or whatever you want to call it, goes above and beyond!! She truly cares about her patients and it shows in every move she makes!!! Thank you, Dr. Wendy!! You are “THE BEST”!!!

Ive been driving extras miles for several years now just to keep my fabulous dental care from Luma (McCalla) Dentistry.

A dentist visit is never fun but the employees at Luma Dental strive to make the appt as pleasant as possible. I called Dana several times to ask information and she was always friendly and helpful.

Im in the process of getting a series of procedures to treat a complex dental issue. This requires multiple visits over multiple months. Dr Holt Grays office has been extremely supportive and efficient. Its been easy to schedule appointments and the office runs on time which is important to me. Dr. Gray and his office has been very easy to work with and Dr. Gray has communicated with me personally following each procedures to make sure everything was going ok. I highly recommend...

Review №62

I had broken a tooth and was also considered a new patient when I came in to Luma dentistry. They got me in quickly and everyone was so friendly. I am scared to death of the dentist and had not seen a dentist in many years. So I was a little nervous when I went in and everyone from the girl who checked me in to Dr. Herring were so compassionate and really worked hard to ease my anxiety. I ended up needing a crown for the broken tooth and even though I was still a little nervous about the work being done, all in all it wasnt that bad. I highly recommend Luma dentistry. Even if you have anxiety about dentist, they are great!

Review №64

My first visit a week ago was awesome.My second visit which was cleaning my right side of my mouth was not as good as my first one. I usually get analgesia so I wont feel any pain. Well today I had to get numb more then once and also had to pay for something that I told them wasnt not working. I was told I still had to pay even though the the service I paid for,which is nitrous didnt work or affect my numbness and I still felt some of the activities going on in my mouth!

Great experience! Dr Haring is wonderful! He explained everything before getting started. Pricing was explained and printed out, also I was told the amount my insurance would pay and then my portion. The experience was painless. Grace assisted and she was very friendly and helpful. She, along with Dr Haring, was very concerned with how I was feeling. Overall very comforting and pleasing experience.

Review №71

I work here. I am one of nearly a hundred colleagues (to date) that currently roam the offices, laboratories, sterilization centers and operatories of Luma. We are a small dental office that never stopped growing. We know where we come from and value the community we serve. I think it speaks to the faith that so many retiring dentists and their patients have entrusted in us to continue the level of patient care every person deserves. Every new office is an investment we choose to make in the community. We love what we do. Were passionate about education, personal and professional growth of our team, and taking care of our patients with compassion, respect and practiced expertise. We are also not perfect and human. We want to know when we dont live up to expectations. We value feedback and appreciate a chance to improve our services. I am also a patient here. I trust my colleagues that perform hygiene, assist, oversee infection control and perform dentistry. I recommend them wholeheartedly❤️ -Dr. Wendy

I was very apprehensive about my dental cleaning as it had been years since my last visit to the dentist. However, the office staff was nice and the hygienist was great! She knew my apprehension and was very careful to be gentle. She encouraged me through the entire visit. The dentist was very nice as well. I opted for the nitrous which, of course, eased the anxiety as well. Great office.

I have always thought Dr. Holt Grey shows such kindness. He cares about your pain and when I first met him I had three truly horrible experiences and was why my teet were so bad. I was afraid to go.Dr. Grey made me trust again. I thought the metal in my jaw was like the metal in my body and I was fine.Everytime I was going to make an appointment sometime elses need seem greater than mine so I gave ll I had. I let him and myself down but Dr. Grey is right there for me again.. Britney the Dental Assistant was so comforting and kind. The staff are thoughtful and kind. I thank them and pray for them for caring so much.K. Vines

Great experience with my appointment this week. This is probably the most professionally run and competent dental practice that I’ve ever been to. I needed a filling in a front tooth. I was in and out of there in 30 minutes. The whole experience was painless from beginning to end. I have to drive from Talladega to go here for dental service. 100 mile round trip, but it is worth it. I recommend them to all my friends.
