Dr. Dina F. Lunken

We’ve been going to Dina for several years. She is extremely unprofessional and unethical. She is demeaning and she will belittle you and your child in front of everyone. What kind of “adult” feels it okay to treat people this way? My daughter was in there last week and she literally treated her like she was a horrible kid because of her cavities. Dina told a 16 year old “now because of you I have to go back in and fix all these teeth” after she continued to belittle her about her diet. How does this woman have a license ? This was the last straw with this woman and her dentistry. I pray she learns how to treat people and doesn’t abuse her position of power to make herself feel more important.

The best children's dentist in the area. My daughter loves going here.

Good with the kids

Dina has a habit of using pillowcases to restrain nervous children. Children are always nervous when it comes to going to the dentist. She should be trained to handle that. Restraints are only supposed to be used in emergency situations, and it’s very detrimental to use that as a go to. Lots of children will have long lasting fears of dentists from situations like this.

Out of good faith I cannot recommend anyone to send their children to this dentist. Not only was she rude to my daughter in the back room, but she was rude to myself as well. Since their office doesn't do sedation she said that they would restrain her using a pillowcase and let her scream it out. That I would hear her from the waiting room, but eventually she'll quiet down. Dina Lunken got rude and defensive when I disagreed with her on baby root canals and asked for other options. She told me this wasn't the office for us and at that point I agreed. The receptionist told me that our insurance covered the visit. So I proceeded to put my kids in the car and she chased me out the door telling me that I had to come pay. I told her what the receptionist had told me and she said I had to pay anyways. I did. My insurance in fact covered 100% of the visit and wrote a check which was cleared by the office. They are now telling me they can't issue a refund because they never got paid by the insurance which is a lie. Out of good faith I cannot recommend anyone to send their children to this dentist.

What a great staff! My three year old daughter had her first dental appointment yesterday and from start to finish, we had an awesome visit (that's so weird to say about a dental office). Both my daughter and myself were comfortable the entire appointment. Dr. Deric took the time to explain Sloane's dental health post-check-up. Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to my child's needs. I cannot recommend Dr. Lunken & Dr. Deric's office and staff enough. I had to actually bribe my daughter to leave! What a great staff!

What a great place! My 3 year old son went for the first time and had an awesome experience. He felt so comfortable that he walked right to the back without any looking back! He got to pick produce from their garden (what a great idea!) and he was so busy playing that I had to entice him out of the dental room with his “surprise bag.” He loved his toy car! But, best of all, he got excellent service and a clean smile! Dr. Lunken was thorough in her review and gave me good advise on how to brush his teeth and how to get enough calcium in his diet. Lastly, the reception staff was extremely helpful and understanding when having to reschedule! Looking forward to our new visit! What a great place!

We had a very good experience. They did great with my 2yr old and 5yr old. The staff was very kind and patient with my children, and were also very courteous. The Dentist took time to explain the findings of the examination and cleaning, and answered all questions thoroughly. They did a great job making both childen feel comfortable and safe!

Highly recommended! Dr. Lunken and her staff are wonderful.

Great place to go with kids! Mine look forward to it every time. Technicians do a great job and are patient!

The staff is very friendly. The office was very clean a very professional. My grandson had a great experience overall would recommend this to everyone who has children.

It was the first visit for my 3 year old. It helped that I showed him the pictures on the website and told him what to expect. Everyone was great and he didn’t want to leave. ????

Dr Lunken and staff are always kind and caring with our kids. They always make our kids feel comfortable.

Jonathan loved it! The staff is wonderful with children. They made him feel comfortable and welcome. I cant wait to come back!

It was a pleasure going to your office. Thank you for making my son feel so comfortable and showing him how to properly floss his teeth. Thank you again. The Garcia family.

The Doctor and Staff are always great with the kids and with the parents. It's the "happiest" dentist office we have ever been in!

My youngest trust dr lunken and isn’t afraid. She had to get her tooth pulled because other tooth was coming in and baby tooth wasn’t coming out and then got her teeth cleaned.

The entire team at Dr. Lunken's office is great. All the kids are happy to be there which tells me a lot about the interactions between the Dr. and kids. I also appreciate Dr. Lunken taking the time to explain everything after each visit.

The environment is nice, calm, fun, and friendly. Everyone is so calm when getting there teeth done. I like the chinchilla because it is fun feeding him snacks, kid friendly and does not bite. Everyone is friendly because they always make you feel welcome and more excited about going to the dentist.

My kids LOVE going to the dentist...yes you read that correctly. I credit this entirely to Dr. Lunken and her staff. The office is open and inviting and the level of care is exceptional. Great value as well. I seriously can not recommend this place enough.

Everyone here is so friendly and, just wonderful with kids! Dr. Does a fantastic job! My son is very stubborn and can be hard to work with. This was our 4th dentist and she is the only one he would let in his mouth. We are very happy with Dr. Lunken.

I brought my 2 sons to Dr. Lunken after a visit to a dentist in Ottawa that left me frustrated, overwhelmed and out $300 for one childs check up. Dr Lunken takes Care Credit and is always kind. The kids love it there and get to go in together. They watch movies, play and have a great time. There is a group room instead of separated every rooms. My kids and I both love going to see Dr Lunken. Highly recommended!

Awesome Dentist Awesome staff

I took my son to another pediatric dentist and wasn't very happy. I found Dr. Lundy and I can't express how much I love this dentist, their open concept room, the activities for the kids, their warm and very welcoming staff and the amount of thought put into this child's dentist. I didn't feel like $$ walking in the door and my 2 sons loved their experiences. Can't wait to go back. I took my son to another pediatric dentist and wasn't very happy.
