About
Lumia Dental PLLC, located at 160 Broadway #1004 in New York, NY 10038, stands as a premier dental practice in Lower Manhattan, redefining modern dentistry through a seamless fusion of cutting-edge technology, exceptional patient care, and a commitment to superior outcomes. As one of NYC's top dental offices, Lumia Dental has established itself as a beacon for individuals and families seeking comprehensive oral health solutions in a convenient, comfortable urban setting. While specific founding dates remain undisclosed in available records, the practice has cultivated a reputation built on the expertise of its highly credentialed providers, many of whom hail from the nation's most prestigious institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Harvard University, NYU Dentistry, Tufts University, and Howard University. This elite training forms the cornerstone of Lumia Dental's history, enabling the team to deliver advanced treatments that prioritize precision, minimal invasiveness, and long-term results[1][4].
At the heart of Lumia Dental's mission is a patient-centric philosophy: modern dental care transcends technical proficiency to encompass quality, comfort, and convenience at every touchpoint. The practice pledges to go beyond mere satisfaction, ensuring a 'modern patient experience' through innovative communication channels like text, phone, web, and mobile apps for effortless appointment management, payments, and scheduling. This forward-thinking approach is complemented by a warm, welcoming environment—from friendly reception to personalized choices like TV, music, and customized treatment plans—transforming routine visits into relaxed, enjoyable experiences[1][4][5]. Lumia Dental's expertise shines through its multidisciplinary team, featuring specialists such as Dr. Rebecca Gutowski (DMD with Honors in Community Oral Health from University of Pennsylvania), Dr. Jake Lee (DDS from University of Pennsylvania), Dr. Michelle (expert in restorative and cosmetic dentistry with national presentations on digital dentistry), Dr. Monica Lobo (Board Eligible Pediatric Dentist and New York native), Dr. Drummond (DDS from Howard University with a BS in Neuroscience from Emory), Dr. Lydia Gardner (Summa Cum Laude from Tufts after Harvard), Dr. Bagga (board-certified Periodontist from NYU with Outstanding Clinical Performance award), and Dr. Adam Goodman (nationally recognized Invisalign pioneer). Hygienists like Jacqueline (NYU-trained) and Tatyana (practicing since 2008) further bolster the team's depth[1].
Lumia Dental offers an extensive array of services, spanning preventive care, cosmetic enhancements, restorative procedures, orthodontics, implants, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, and full mouth rehabilitation. Preventive services emphasize early detection via checkups, cleanings, and advanced diagnostics like radiation-free CariVu transillumination for cavities and fractures—ideal for children, pregnant patients, and those radiation-sensitive. Cosmetic offerings include customized teeth whitening with minimal sensitivity, veneers, crowns, and bondings for aesthetic transformations. Orthodontic solutions feature Invisalign's clear aligners for discreet straightening. Restorative dentistry employs conservative techniques with tooth-colored fillings, inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges to repair cavities, cracks, and damage from grinding. Surgical expertise covers painless extractions, dental implants via digital protocols, and periodontics for gum health. Pediatric care is tailored with empathy from parent-providers, while full mouth rehab restores function and confidence swiftly using state-of-the-art tech[2][3][6].
What truly sets Lumia Dental apart is its unwavering unique value proposition: 'cutting-edge dentistry meets a modern patient experience.' Unlike traditional practices reliant on outdated 2D x-rays and gunky molds, Lumia integrates digital dentistry as standard—enabling 3D precision for crowns, nightguards, Invisalign, and implants with reduced radiation (a fraction of routine x-rays) and faster turnaround. Partnerships with high-end labs ensure esthetic, durable restorations, while a focus on conservative, non-invasive methods preserves natural tooth structure. This technologically superior, patient-empowered model distinguishes Lumia from competitors, prioritizing holistic health, esthetics, and convenience in a bustling city like New York. Whether preventing issues, restoring smiles, or handling complex cases, Lumia Dental empowers patients with naturally beautiful, lifelong results in a setting that feels more like a wellness retreat than a clinic. With 32 employees driving revenue under $5 million and plans for relocation noted in 2023, Lumia continues to evolve, solidifying its position as Lower Manhattan's go-to for elite dental care[1][2][4][5].
