Services
Teeth Cleanings
Professional teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent cavities and gum disease. Our hygienists use ultrasonic scalers for thorough yet gentle care. Regular cleanings maintain fresh breath and a bright smile while detecting early signs of oral health issues. Patients receive personalized home care advice to sustain results between visits.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and reverse early decay. Applied as varnish or gel, this quick procedure protects against acid attacks from plaque and bacteria. Ideal for children and cavity-prone adults, it enhances enamel resilience while reducing sensitivity. Combined with regular cleanings, fluoride therapy prevents costly dental repairs.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry using nitrous oxide alleviates dental anxiety during procedures. Patients remain awake but deeply relaxed, with effects wearing off quickly post-treatment. This option benefits those with sensitive gag reflexes or complex dental needs requiring extended appointments. Our team ensures safe, comfortable care for all anxiety levels.
Children's Dentistry
Children's dentistry focuses on preventive care and early intervention for lifelong oral health. Services include cleanings, sealants, and fluoride applications tailored to young patients. Our team creates a welcoming environment to build trust and educate families on proper hygiene. Regular checkups monitor development and address concerns promptly.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry improves smile aesthetics through veneers, whitening, and crowns. Custom treatments address discoloration, chips, or gaps for natural-looking results. We combine artistry with durable materials to enhance confidence while maintaining function. Consultations assess individual goals and recommend options for optimal outcomes.

I never thought that I would say this about a dental appointment but it was great. I have been coming with Dr Laura and her staff for years now. A person, knowing that I struggle with anxiety, recommended her to be. I will always be thankful. Everyone of my visits have been very peaceful and positive. Everyone that works in the office is kind and respectful. I have, and will continue to recommend Dr Laura DeLuca

This practice has a great group of staff. They are friendly and good at what they do. Dr Laura is easy to talk to and does a great job. Especially with children that have a lot of anxiety at the dentist.

I've been looking for a new dentist for a while and am so happy I found Dr. Laura and her team at Lotus Family Dental. I've had several negative experiences at past dentists which left me generally dreading any/all dentist appointments, big or small. From day one, I've found Lotus to be excellent. They're clear in all communications, whether it be helping you to understand the procedure process or next steps. They check in throughout the duration of your appointment, ensuring your mouth has proper freezing and that you're comfortable. Overall it's been a consistently good experience and it's evident

As the name suggests its dental - close to our place.One of the reasons we chose it. But yes the staff are friendly and helpful and Dr Laura seems great. Off course as all dentists they are very expensive.
Located on Lansdowne itself Westend - it is well connected and plenty of parking available. It is by appointment only now due to Covid. I believe they cover the full spectrum in dentistry.
