The Dental World was never perfect. In 2000, the surgeon general announced that a silent epidemic of dental disease existed. Lux Dental knew then as we do now that oral disease is associated with heart disease, respiratory illness, diabetes and much more. For many in healthcare, this was no revelation; it is common sense that illness in your mouth would affect the rest of your body. 80 percent of dental disease fell upon 20% of children. The elderly and the poor had inadequate and inconsistent access to care.
In 2007, Drs. Abe Abdul, Saeed Kashefi, and Ms. Loan Huynh aspired to make a difference. With limited funding, little experience in running a practice, they gave life to Lux Dental. Lux meaning light, was to represent a beacon of hope in enlightening the cause for better oral health. They believed then, as they do now, that patients are just people seeking respect, care and empathy. That the highest standards of care along with a touch of love would heal the masses. The fight to provide care, improve care and advocate for care started in the clinics, but later extended way beyond.
For over a decade, our team has advocated the legislature. Both on Beacon Hill and Capitol Hill. We are the voice for those without a voice. We have educated the populous on oral health by partnering with community organizations. Our doctors are consistently talking about health at seminars and on media. To teach others of our vision, we have developed internships that train the next generation of doctors and healthcare professionals. Members of our team have even travelled globally to teach and serve the less fortunate. Healthcare needed a little marketing, so Luxs Mission Space brought the message of oral health to the stratosphere.

A. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay. It can also reverse erosion that has already taken place. If plaque forms on the teeth and eats away at the enamel, fluoride treatments can replace the minerals in the enamel that have eroded. This allows teeth to remain healthy.
A. Dental X-rays are one of the lowest radiation dose studies performed. our routine exam which includes 4 bitewings is about 0.005 mSv, which is less than one day of natural background radiation. It is also about the same amount of radiation exposure from a short airplane flight (1-2 hrs).
A. X-rays are customized to fit your individual needs. If you are a new patient, your dentist will typically take x-rays to evaluate your oral health and track it during future visits, making sure that your teeth and gums stay healthy.

This place is terrible! Been going here for the past 7+ years and that's only because this is the only place my insurance covers. Once they put on your braces it is hard to switch dentist. There is a different doctor every other visit and the only employee who has stayed there for a long time is the receptionist who barely knows how to do her job and is pretty rude. They constantly have reschedule appts because they have no dentist. At times i had to go weeks with broken brackets because how few times they actually have an orthodontist. I had braces for 6 years with them and they took them off when they were not even ready to come off. The only reason I had them on for that long is because they would constantly say "Oh we will fix that next visit". There are many more reasons why I don't recommend this place but those are the main reason's. DO NOT USE THIS OFFICE!

I had such an amazing time coming here. The attitude of this place is just comforting and pleasant.clean place with porfessionals! My dentist was absolutely amazing! His name was Jason I believe and I truly felt comfortable and happy under his care. Very polite and respectful. I can tell he does an excellent job of taking care of his patients and gives each patient his time and effort. Overall great place!

I have had great service from Lux Dental for several years, since I have been taking my child there, but since Dr. Abe and his partner relocated the culture in the office has not been the same and not for any good reason. The staff tries to be nice but my issue is with the Orthodontist who is supposed to be the professional. First, both Dentists told me I did not have to think about braces until my child was 11, since she still had many baby teeth. The orthodontist arrogantly told me, "I am the Orthodontist." I explained my anxiety about it and said I didn't think we needed to rush until then but he was so quick to send the letter to the insurance company to start the process for the braces, infact he told me she should have started a long time ago and that she is late, so I, wanting to trust the professional, hesitantly went along with it. The day of the procedure to install the braces, the place was so packed with many children installing braces, it was a total turn off. They asked me to leave my child and come back in about 4 hours. They called me about 2 1/2 hours later telling me she was done. To my surprise when I got there, because I was close by, she only had the bottom braces done so I questioned why did they only do the bottom?said orthodontist told me he couldn't do the top because she had too many baby teeth. Hello this was our previous conversation. I am trying to get past this already broken trust but it has not been easy. In the initial consult he told my child in my presence that she will be able to change the color on the braces at every maintenance appointment but it seems that too was not true. Or he is choosing not to do it because I vented my frustration. I continue to take her for her maintenance every 2 months but for several months I have to rely on my 10 year old to give me an update on her appointment because this Orthodontist refuses to provide me the parent with any updates. Needless to say our last appointment I was told that her bracket was broken and noone from the office said that to me as her parent they told the minor and no explanation of what that meant. As a parent I have no option but to seek another alternative to fix this issue. Clearly my child should not suffer this Orthodontist need to grow up. Lux Dental needs to bring back the days when the customer service was to die for.
