Extremely professional. Excellent at explaining new denture process. Every one was very nice. I was nervous but made to feel comfortable after 5 minutes. They really listen when you speak..

I previously left a 5 star review, with how thankful I was Shannon from the office quickly prioritized getting me into the office, and said they can do payment plans. Shannon has since left, and now Conor has taken over. Conor is sending texts as if it’s an automated message, but then is quick to reply that they don’t have payment plans. I have at least 3 emergency teeth, and contacted this office several months ago about a cracked molar. Conor said they cannot see me with any outstanding balance. I paid the balance, and now he simply won’t respond at all. I am very disappointed to have to find another dentist. Conor has terrible customer service.

I have been an Inspire Dental customer for sometime now. Recently got a Crown and the key advantage here is that everything is done in house (no sending it out to be made and waiting). Also, I have been with Amanda, one of the hygienists for years and she is just wonderful. The practice uses modern high tech equipment & Dr. Lucus is very personalable. I would not have any reservations, recommending this dental practice.

This was my first experience getting a crown. In fact, I received two on the same visit. I have to say that I was very impressed with the newer technology that allows the process to be completed in one visit - no need for the intermediate step of installing a temporary crown first, then returning for the installation of the permanent crown at a later time. Dr. Lukis and his associate did a great job on the procedure and explained everything clearly as we went along. I even watched him "design" the new crown on a computer screen. The two crowns fit my bite perfectly the first time with no adjustments. Very pleased!!!

This is a Great dental practice! I travel from Kennebunk to Portland to see Dr Lukis (and there are plenty of dental practices close to me!) I’ve been with this dental practice since the late 90s when Dr Cooney was the dentist (he was also great) and I stayed with the practice through when Dr. Lukis finally took over (thankfully). I love the staff, especially Janessa (his main assistant), Monica (hygienist) and Dr. Lukis. He’s fun, personable and honest. The facility is newly renovated and is top notch!

I found Dr Lukis to be terrible in bedside manner at best, and unreceptive to hearing any feedback on his behavior. Unsympathetic in attitude, and dismisive of emotions and pain. I would absolutely steer clear, especially if you have dental trauma, needle trauma or just want to have a gentle dental experience. He was unsympathetic to prior dental trauma coming up, and often used phrases that set blame to the patient when already expirencing hightened emotions. Ie: when he did not say he was going to inject me with anesthetic and then i reacted to a needled coming at me with no warning with big emotions due to past traumatic dental experience. When later i felt pain/was not anesthetized enough, and I could not tolerate another needle poke, he would say sentances in a way that felt like he was blaming pain, and the inability to handle a filling, (not what i intitally had thought i was coming in for) on me the patients shoulders completely. I even tried having a legitimate conversation with him, telling him i felt his bedside manner did not work for me, and made me feel unheard/not listened to. And he interrupted me multiple times through this. And when I used an instance of that to say, this is what I mean, you arent listening to me, he waited to tell me that he thought i was making incorrect decisions about my teeth once again. (He did this at most steps of my appointment despite me repeatedly telling him where my limits were ) I fully believe if i had not had a friend in the room with me advocating for my wants and needs that I would have had dental work i did not want, that traumatized me more, and hurt me more happen to me. Or i would have left with a half ground down half anesthetized face wondering what in the world i would do next. I will be canceling all follow ups, and finding a new dentist immediately.

I have been coming for three years now and still very pleased. All of the workers are kind and friendly. The gentleman who did my teeth today I had never had him before and he was good. One suggestion I would make to him is that he doesn’t have to say, “excuse me” Every time he goes into my mouth. I also refused x-rays and he asked me three times. Two Times after I had signed the paper consenting that I did not want x-rays or an exam done today. I give it five stars because overall I am pleased and feel that I have clean teeth.
