Welcome to Lumino Woodward Dental – your cosmetic dentists in Wellington.
At Lumino Woodward Dental we believe in excellence of treatment. Excellent dental care starts with good communication. We take your questions and concerns seriously and we want to know what’s important to you so that we can tailor our treatment accordingly. Our aim is twofold, to deliver excellent, lasting treatment in a personal, trusting environment. There should be smiles all round.
Our surgery has been in the same rooms for more than 75 years. Lumino Woodward Dental was originally established in 1931 by AP Middleton, who was joined by his son JD (Dennis) Middleton in 1961. Dennis and ‘AP’ ran the surgery until AP retired in 1986.
Our reception and front office staff are trained to greet and help you, the patient, with any and all questions – from appointments to financial arrangements. Our dental surgery assistants are also fully trained to help patients in the surgery with any problems. Our two hygienists are registered with the New Zealand Dental Council, to clean teeth, give oral hygiene advice and follow up problem periodontal cases. And all of us at Lumino Woodward Dental like to work with a smile – an important detail in a busy dental practice!

“Charlotte is very knowledgeable and keeps up with new technology. An example was when she got a new machine to produce crowns. Charlotte showed Bob how it worked and proceeded to make his crown and fitted it all on the same day. This was great because the procedure didn’t drag on and also meant no temporary crown needed to be fitted.”
“Going to see Charlotte is always a pain free experience, and we always leave with a smile and a laugh. She has excellent communication skills with her team and makes us feel comfortable and involved in all choices about our dental health. They treat us not just as patients, but as family friends. They give us confidence to do whatever is required to keep our gums and teeth healthy.”
DIANNE BATEMAN, CHURTON PARK, WELLINGTON.
“David Corcoran has always demonstrated a lot of care when I have visited him at Woodward Dental Practice.
David has ensured that he is up to date with my general health and knows what medications I am on before he starts any work.
He and his team always explain what they are going to do very clearly, so there are never any unpleasant surprises.”
“I am always confident with David that he has my interests at heart and that he is doing the right thing, and the best he can for me. I am also impressed at how dedicated he is to his profession – keeping up to date with the latest developments in the world of dentistry.”
“Everyone at Woodward Dental is professional and demonstrates teamwork. Appointment reminders are always sent out with plenty of time to schedule or if necessary reschedule.”
“Charlotte Cocks was recommended to me, and now some 17 years later I am delighted to have completely revised my “dentist experience” thing. Charlotte gained my confidence by always keeping me fully informed of what she was doing, what needed to be done at the time and in the future. She has always given me the options and explained the pros and cons of each. Nothing she has done has needed replacing or been anything other than great.”
“A particular instance stands out. I had a gold front tooth most of my life after a childhood breakage. Charlotte suggested it was time to look at other options. I was dreading it, remembering how much trouble I’d had when it was first done. Charlotte gave me a front tooth to match the other, coloured the same, better than the gold one and with no fuss or trouble since. My only regret was why I hadn’t done it sooner!”
“The Woodward Dental team send regular reminders when check ups are due, which is great. Also, they are flexible over last minute appointment changes, which is very helpful.
If there is such a thing as a painless dentist, it is Charlotte. I’m dreading having to find another dentist when I leave Wellington!”
