Lumino The Dentists Whitianga is situated in one on the most beautiful beach towns in New Zealand. Whitianga is in the Mercury Bay region, the home of the world-renowned Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach.
Our dental practice is situated a few steps from the harbour and Mercury Bay Marina and is a short walk and ferry ride to Ferry Landing. As soon as you walk through our doors, our patients can feel like they are sitting in their lounge at home, not a cold sterile dental surgery - a place where you can leave the stresses of city life behind. We pride ourselves on our friendly, professional staff, who are extremely gentle in their approach.
Being a beach town and holiday destination for all New Zealanders & tourists, Whitianga is the buzz of the Coromandel Peninsula. It is the place where you can do a little or a lot. The pace of life can be as busy or as calm as you choose. It’s where people smile and say “hello” when you walk down the street.
No traffic lights, no peak hour traffic, no city hustle and bustle. There is just you and your imaginings. Our dental practice reflects this feel of the town. Lumino The Dentists Whitianga provides dental treatment for the local population, and for every one that visits our town from the top of the Coromandel Peninsula to as far as the Waikato area and beyond! We all love our job and appreciate having wonderful patients that make our days enjoyable.

“Are you supposed to rinse after tooth-brushing?” In almost every case, the answer is “No!” Leaving a coating of toothpaste on your teeth for as long as possible will make your teeth much stronger.

Often cancer treatment has minimal impact on existing dental work or on future dental treatment, but there are some situations that are very important to be aware of.
)
Do NOT stop taking any medication without you or your dentist discussing it with your doctor first. You may put yourself at risk of having a blood clot or a stroke.
)
Pregnancy does not automatically damage your teeth. A baby growing in the womb cannot suck the calcium out of its mother’s teeth.
)
High intake of sugar, high risk of diseases. Not surprisingly, sugars are the main cause of tooth decay.
)
When a cavity gets too deep, bacteria can reach the nerve inside the tooth. Once the nerve becomes infected, you can either get the tooth extracted or undergo Root Canal Therapy (RCT).
