Treatments & care

Everything your smile needs, under one calm roof.

From a quiet six-month clean to full smile design — delivered slowly, kindly and without the upsell.

Check-ups & cleans

Thorough, unhurried six-month exams with gentle hygiene and honest, jargon-free guidance.

Teeth whitening

Professional, enamel-safe brightening — in-chair or take-home — for a natural, even glow.

Dental implants

Permanent, natural-feeling replacements for missing teeth, planned with 3D precision.

Invisalign aligners

Discreet clear aligners that straighten gently, with fewer visits and a digital smile preview.

Cosmetic veneers

Hand-finished porcelain veneers, shaped to your face for a smile that still looks like you.

Root canal therapy

Modern, comfortable treatment to save a painful tooth — calmly explained, every step.

Children's dentistry

Friendly, fear-free first visits that build lifelong healthy-smile habits for little ones.

Emergency dental

Same-day relief for pain, breaks and lost fillings — we keep slots open for urgent care.

Crowns & bridges

Custom-matched restorations that rebuild strength and shape so you can bite with confidence.

The Lumora way

We treat the person, not just the tooth.

Most people don't dislike the dentist — they dislike feeling rushed, unheard or surprised by a bill. So we built the practice around the opposite of all that.

01
Time to talk first
Every visit starts with a real conversation — no chair, no tools, just listening.
02
A calmer kind of room
Soft light, noise-cancelling headphones, weighted blankets and tea on arrival.
03
Prices before procedures
Clear written estimates up front, always. You decide what happens, never us.

Meet the practice

A small studio of clinicians who actually know your name.

Lumora was founded by Dr. Mara Ellison on a simple belief: dental care should feel as considered as a good spa and as honest as a good friend. Our team is deliberately small, so the face you meet on day one is the face you'll see for years.

Continuity of care — your own dedicated clinician
Sensory-aware rooms for anxious patients
Modern digital scanning — fewer goopy moulds
Flexible membership & interest-free plans

Would recommend

I used to white-knuckle every appointment. At Lumora I actually fell asleep in the chair. They turned dread into something close to calm.

Priya N. Lumora patient · sample testimonial

Kind words

Loved by Asheville smiles (sample reviews).

The calmest dental visit of my life. They explained everything and never once made me feel rushed.

Jordan M.New patient

My kids ask to go to the dentist now. That sentence felt impossible a year ago.

Sofia R.Family plan

Whitening looked completely natural, not the fake bright I was afraid of. So happy.

Daniel L.Whitening

Implant process was painless and the pricing was exactly what they quoted. Refreshing.

Amara K.Implant

The headphones and weighted blanket are genius. I genuinely relaxed for the first time.

Theo C.Anxious patient

Invisalign with monthly check-ins. My smile is straight and nobody even noticed the trays.

Good to know

Questions, gently answered.

Can't find what you need? Call us on (828) 555-0190 — a real human picks up.

Do you treat nervous or anxious patients?

Absolutely — it's the heart of what we do. Tell us how you feel and we'll go at your pace, with calming rooms, headphones, sedation options and breaks whenever you need them.

How soon can I get an appointment?

Most new patients are seen within the same week, and we keep daily slots open for emergencies. Book online or call and we'll find a time that suits you.

Do I need insurance to visit?

Not at all. We welcome insured and self-paying patients alike, and our memberships make routine care simple and predictable without any paperwork maze.

Will I know the cost before treatment?

Always. You'll receive a clear written estimate before anything begins. We never start treatment you haven't agreed to, and interest-free plans are available.

Do you see children?

Yes — we love little smiles. Our friendly children's visits are designed to be fun and fear-free, building healthy habits that last a lifetime.

What if I have a dental emergency?
