Bespoke cosmetic dentistry · Marylebone
Your smile,
designed by hand.
A boutique smile-design studio in the heart of Marylebone. We plan every case to your face — porcelain, whitening and alignment, made with restraint and finished by a master ceramist.
The atelier
A studio, not a conveyor belt
Lumara was founded in 2009 on a quiet idea: that a smile should look like it belongs to the person wearing it. We take fewer cases and give them more time. Every treatment starts as a design — drawn, mocked up in your mouth, and only made permanent once you have seen it.
Our default is always the least we can do to reach your goal, so you keep as much of your own tooth as possible. Sometimes that means we talk you out of veneers. It is the least fashionable thing about us, and the thing our patients thank us for most.
Not sure where to start?
Find the treatment that fits you
Answer two quick questions and we’ll suggest where to begin — with honest prices, timelines and how reversible each option is.
1 What would you like to change? Choose any that apply.
2 What matters most to you?
A guide, not a diagnosis. Every smile is assessed in person before any treatment is recommended.
What we do
A menu of quiet, considered work
From a reversible afternoon of bonding to a full smile designed to your face. Move through the menu to look closer at each.
Whitening Shade Studio
See how much brighter, before you book
Whitening is our most-loved treatment and the most over-promised. Our Shade Studio gives you a realistic estimate: choose where your teeth are now and where you’d love them to be, and we’ll suggest the right approach, the number of sessions and the cost.

A small studio of senior hands
You will not be passed around. A smile designer, a specialist orthodontist, a restorative and implant dentist and a hygiene lead — and one concierge who keeps it all calm.

In their words
I went in braced for the hard sell and got the opposite. Elise talked me out of veneers and did bonding instead — half the price and I still cannot stop smiling. Honest people.
Naomi R. · Composite bonding
Read more reviewsSix veneers on my upper front teeth. They look like teeth, not tiles — which is exactly what I asked for and rarely see. The trial smile stage was worth everything.
Priya straightened my teeth in seven months and then I only needed a tiny bit of bonding. Being a specialist genuinely showed. Calm, precise, no drama.
The journal
Honest reading before you decide
No hype — just clear answers to the questions we are asked every day.
Good questions, straight answers
Is the first consultation free?
The initial 15-minute discovery call is complimentary. A full smile-design consultation — with photos, scans and a written plan — is £120, credited to your treatment if you proceed.
Will my new smile look natural?
That is the whole point of how we work. We design to your face, use natural translucency rather than flat white, and show you a trial smile before anything is made permanent.
Do you offer finance?
Yes — 0% over 12 months and longer plans up to 60 months, through an FCA-authorised lender, subject to status. Most people spread the cost.
