Lumiere Dental Reviews

As someone blessed with the combination of suboptimal tooth genes and bad childhood habit of chewing candy, I am no stranger to dental offices. Recently I damaged an incisor crown while on a work stint in Chicago. Luckily I found Dr Ryan Woitas. Dr. Ryan gave me a thorough evaluation and discussed two treatment options. Since the tooth remnants couldn't support a new crown, I decided for an implant. As an implant rookie, I appreciated how clearly he explained the process and transparent costs. He used atraumatic extraction techniques and placed the implant immediately after extraction . That cut out an entire round of surgery and months of waiting. Post-op pain was less than I expected so I didn’t use pain meds. The entire journey was smooth. I should also mention the modern dental equipments, organized clinic, and genuinely friendly staff. I highly recommend Dr. Ryan to anyone needing top-tier dental care in Chicago!

Amazing place! Dr. Ryan is a very kind, trustworthy, and skilled professional, and you should look no further for your dental needs. He came highly recommended by my dentist of 20+ years who was retiring and who was Dr. Ryan's clinical professor in dental school. Can't get a better endorsement than that! My initial contact with Dr. Ryan was to have urgently-needed oral surgery after returning from being overseas, so I got to see right away what a talented surgeon he is! Truly a great experience with him and his entire staff, who are equally wonderful. With my long history of dental issues, it is a terrific relief to be able to make such a smooth and seamless transition to this five-star practice of caring professionals.

I usually never write reviews, but the level of care and service I received made me want to share my experience. From the moment I walked in, I knew this wasn't an ordinary dental office. They use modern technology that gave me a complete, crystal-clear view of my teeth, making it so much easier to understand my dental health. My hygienist took the time to thoroughly examine everything and explain what she was seeing. Then Dr. Ryan came in, carefully discussed my concerns, and recommended a treatment plan that felt personalized to my needs. At no point did I feel rushed. In fact, they went above and beyond to make me comfortable—even offering me a blanket during my deep cleaning. I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep, which is something I never thought I'd say about a dental appointment! The combination of advanced technology, exceptional professionalism, and genuine kindness is hard to find. Dr. Ryan, Danielle, and the entire team truly care about their patients and make you feel like family. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for outstanding dental care. They've definitely earned a lifelong patient.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this -- it genuinely means the world to us! We work hard to make sure every patient feels informed, comfortable, and truly cared for, so hearing that your experience reflected all of that is incredibly rewarding.
Dr. Ryan and the whole team believe that great dental care goes beyond just the clinical side -- it's about making sure you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door. We're so glad the team could make your visit a relaxing one (a nap during a deep cleaning might be a first for us!).
We're honored to have earned your trust, and we look forward to being your dental home for years to come. Welcome to the Lumiere family!

I can't recommend this practice enough! I'm new to town and needed to establish care, and from the very beginning the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating with my schedule. It's rare to find a doctor who takes the time to thoroughly explain everything, but Dr. Ryan went above and beyond. He made sure I understood my exam findings, demonstrated how I should be brushing/flossing, and recommended the right products for my dental health. They also have a ton of new tech I have never seen so that was a cool bonus. If you're looking for an exceptional dentist who genuinely cares about their patients, look no further!

Yall if you're not going here whaaaat are you doing?!? It's a spa for your teeth. They use a Swiss technology to power wash the teeth that's so gentle and effective. They also use Cocolab floss which is the Cadillac of flosses. Great vibes & care.

This made our whole team smile! We love that you described it as a spa for your teeth -- that is exactly the experience we want every patient to have. GBT Airflow is one of our favorite technologies to share with patients, and it is always great to hear how much of a difference it makes. We will pass the love along to our hygiene team, and we cannot wait to see you again!

My experience at Lumiere was awesome!! Dr. Ryan and his team were very focused on making me feel comfortable while still doing a thorough exam and laying out needed treatments. As someone who gets nervous going to the dentist the environment was very welcoming and made me feel at home and relaxed. The office itself is beautiful as well…they seem to have thought of everything! Weighted blankets, neck pillows, stress balls…even TVs on the ceiling! Thank you for a great experience!!

My husband and I recently switched to this practice, and we are both absolutely blown away. The office is pristine, the technology is state-of-the-art, and the entire team goes above and beyond. Everyone truly pays attention to you and takes the time to thoroughly explain everything. My only regret is that I didn't start coming here sooner when I first moved to the neighborhood! I'm almost hesitant to leave this review because I don't want it to get harder to book an appointment, but they truly deserve all the praise.

I am really happy with our choice to go to Lumiere Dental! The staff is excellent to work with and Dr Woitas is outstanding! They combine solid dental practice with technology to make your experience painless and effective- I highly recommend. They ensure your comfort and keep you informed on every aspect of your treatment along the way, all while providing service that is outstanding. Lumiere Dental is a great place if you are looking for a modern, clean, and professional atmosphere. I love the fact that they are not a chain or a part of some larger group where you don’t know who is going to be seeing you. The faces you see when you walk in are always helpful and smiling. Great place to help you take care of your smile.

I've been going to a great dental practice in the loop for over 20 years. I was hesitant to change my dentist since they met all my needs (transparent, knowledgeable, kind, gentle, evidence based practice, latest advanced in care) but I wanted someone closer to home. After my first cleaning and consultation with Dr. Ryan and his team I can confidently say I've found my new dental home.

Had a great experience! Made the first time visit really nice and thoughtful. Office is well equipped with the best tech (TVs on the ceiling playing calming documentary, screen to show X-rays as they talk you through them, etc.). My last dentist was not as thorough and Dr. Ryan raised important issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later to prevent issues down the road. Highly recommend!

Dr. Ryan is great and his staff is super warm and welcoming. His office has the latest tech in dentistry and feels modern. Most importantly he fixed my chip tooth and it looks and functions like it should. Ps - go with the stress ball.
