About
A smile-design studio in Marylebone
Lumara opened in 2009 to do cosmetic dentistry differently — fewer cases, more time, and results that look like they belong to the people wearing them.
Our story
Founded on a quiet idea
Dr Elise Marchetti founded Lumara after years in larger practices, convinced that beautiful dentistry did not have to mean uniform white teeth and hard sells. She built a studio around a single conviction: a smile should look like yours.
Fifteen years and more than 3,800 smiles later, that has not changed. We still take fewer cases than we could, still design every one before we deliver it, and still measure ourselves by how natural the result looks — not how dramatic.
Today Elise works alongside a specialist orthodontist, a restorative and implant dentist, a hygiene lead and a concierge who keeps the whole thing calm and joined up.
What we believe
Four things we will not compromise on
The least we can do to reach your goal, so you keep more of your own tooth. We will talk you out of treatment you do not need.
Every case is drawn, mocked up in your mouth and approved by you before anything is made permanent.
Porcelain layered by a single master ceramist, not milled to a flat shade. Depth, like real enamel.
Clear prices, plain language, and a five-year guarantee on our ceramic work. No pressure, ever.
Registered & accountable
Every clinician is GDC-registered; Dr Nair is a specialist orthodontist on the GDC specialist list.
Registered and inspected as a provider of dental services in England (Provider ID 1-2049517663).
Accredited membership of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry — a standard few hold.
On our ceramic work, backed by aftercare and a Care Plan to protect it.
