Dentistry explained before the drill spins.

Harbor Lumen Dental is a Capitol Hill studio for adults and teens who want honest treatment options, iTero scans instead of gag-inducing impressions, and hygiene visits after work. We print cost estimates before restorative work starts, coordinate with your physician when blood thinners or diabetes matter, and keep emergency slots open every morning for cracked crowns and throbbing molars.

Evening hygiene on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 7 p.m.

Clinical services

What we treat in-house

Most care stays with the team who knows your chart—specialists join when imaging or surgery needs extra eyes.

Preventive hygiene

Guided biofilm therapy, fluoride choices for sensitive enamel, and perio charting you can see on the chairside monitor.

Restorative

Tooth-colored composites, same-day crowns milled on site, and bite adjustments when a filling feels tall.

Dentist with patient in operatory

Aligners & ortho

Clear aligner cases with digital progress photos; teens get compliance coaching instead of lecture scripts.

Emergency slots

Cracked teeth, lost fillings, and swelling triaged by phone; we stabilize first and schedule definitive care second.

Sedation options

Nitrous for anxious patients, written pre-visit instructions, and rides home confirmed before we start.

Insurance advocacy

We verify benefits before big cases, appeal downgrades with narrative and photos, and post estimates to your portal.

Clinicians you will see

Rotations are rare—your hygienist and dentist stay paired unless you ask for a change.

  • Dr. Mina Cho, DDSRestorative & cosmetic lead
