Downtown Sarasota, Florida
A brighter standard of care
Modern dentistry. Remarkably human. Implant, cosmetic and everyday dentistry in Sarasota — planned carefully, explained plainly, and never rushed.
Implant, cosmetic and everyday dentistry planned in one place — with unhurried appointments and written treatment plans before anything begins.
Care by goal
Start with what you want to change
Most people arrive with an outcome in mind rather than a procedure name. Choose the goal that sounds closest and we will take it from there.

Rebuild what is missing, worn or failing.
Dental Implants
Replace a missing tooth with something you can bite into and forget about.
Full-Arch Restoration

The experience
Dentistry that behaves like hospitality
The clinical side matters enormously. So does whether you feel able to ask a second question.
Unhurried appointments
Consultations are booked for a full hour. Nobody is asked to make a decision about implants in the last four minutes of a check-up.
Written plans, plain language
You leave with a printed plan listing each stage, the sequence, the fee and the alternatives — including the option of doing nothing for now.
Comfort as a clinical decision
Numbing gel before every injection, blankets, noise-cancelling headphones, and signalling agreed before we begin so you can pause at any point.
One team, start to finish
The clinician who plans your case performs it. Your treatment coordinator stays the same person from first call to final review.

Meet your dentist
Dr. Adaeze Moreau
Adaeze founded Luma after fifteen years of restorative practice, mostly spent rebuilding smiles that had been through several rounds of patchwork dentistry. She plans every implant case digitally before a single instrument is picked up, and she is unusually candid about when treatment is not the right answer yet.
“The best implant case is the one where the patient understands every step before we start.”Meet both doctors
Smile preview concept
A calmer way to picture the options

See how the stages differ
Move through four common routes to a brighter smile. This is a visual aid for the conversation, not a prediction of your result.
Uneven edges, a slightly darker shade and one short lateral incisor.
Illustrative concept only. Suitability and outcomes vary between individuals and can only be assessed at a clinical examination.
Technology
Equipment in service of the plan
We invest in tools that make planning more accurate and appointments shorter — not in gadgets for their own sake.
- 3D cone-beam imaging
- Bone volume, nerve position and sinus anatomy are reviewed in three dimensions before any implant is planned.
- Intraoral scanning
- Digital impressions replace the tray of putty for most cases, and let you see your own teeth on screen during the discussion.
- Digital smile design
- Proposed tooth shapes are designed on a photograph of your face, then trialled in your mouth before anything is prepared.
- Guided surgery
- Where it improves accuracy, implants are placed through a printed surgical guide made from the planning scan.

Cost, discussed before treatment — not after
You receive a written plan with indicative fees, the sequence of appointments, and the alternatives. If the total is uncomfortable, we look at staging it rather than quietly starting anyway.
- Written estimates before any treatment begins
- Monthly plans through a third-party healthcare lender, subject to approval
- Insurance benefits estimated and documented by the front desk
- Membership plan for patients without insurance
Demonstration testimonials
Written for this concept, not collected from patients
“I had put off the implant for four years. The plan was written down, the fee did not change, and the placement itself was far less dramatic than I had built up in my head.”

“They talked me through the veneer shapes on a screen and let me wear a trial version for a week. I changed my mind about the length, and they simply adjusted it.”

“I am a nervous patient and I have never once felt rushed here. The hand-raise signal sounds small. It changed everything for me.”

The things people ask first
