Founder and General Dentist

Dr.Maria Smetanina

Doctor Maria Smetanina — the owner of Lumi Dental — is an Albert Park local. She has been in private practice for more than fifteen years, serving Melbourne metropolitan area. Dr Smetanina has an extensive following that includes moms and dads, toddlers and grandparents.
Dr. Smetanina was always creative and liked working with her hands, but she was drawn to science too. After finishing art school back, she got a scholarship to study dentistry and has been rejecting the stereotypes of her profession ever since. Although, in classic dentist fashion, she loves asking questions while her patient’s mouth’s full of equipment. The long-standing joke about dentists, of course, is that they’re horrible. Lumi Dental is all about breaking the stereotypes – this dental appointment is unlike you’ve ever had.

“You can be cool and competent! You can wear jeans and be trusted!” she passionately insists, humming along to Coldplay while cleaning your teeth and treatment planning your braces.Maria’s commitment to aesthetic and wellness-focused lifestyle reflects on Lumi.
 
Every “space” you inhabit should be calm and cool and impeccably staged and designed. Including, now, the dentist’s office.
