A small studio with a clear point of view.
Founded in 2009 on upper Fillmore Street, Lumière exists to make excellent dentistry feel calm, personal and unmistakably natural.
Why Lumière began.
Dr. Camille Moreau spent her early career in a busy restorative practice, rebuilding smiles that had been over-treated elsewhere: veneers that were too white, crowns that were too bulky, teeth reshaped more than they needed to be. She left convinced that the best cosmetic dentistry is the kind nobody notices.
In 2009 she opened a two-chair studio above a bookshop on Fillmore Street. The idea was simple. See fewer patients, photograph and plan every case, and never rush the conversation. Seventeen years later the studio has grown to five treatment rooms and three doctors, but the schedule is still deliberately unhurried.
Today Lumière is known across San Francisco for natural-looking veneers, precise implant work from Dr. Julian Okafor and a family program led by Dr. Priya Raman that puts nervous adults and first-time children at ease.
What we hold to.
- Restraint
- We recommend the least treatment that meets your goals. Many consultations end with whitening instead of veneers.
- Time
- Hygiene visits are a full hour and cosmetic cases are designed across several unhurried appointments.
- Transparency
- Every plan arrives in writing, with images, options and fees. Nothing happens without your consent.
- Craft
- We work with one master ceramist in Sausalito and review every case together, tooth by tooth.
The people you will meet.
A cosmetic dentist, a prosthodontist and a family dentist, with a clinical team that averages nine years at the studio.
Camille founded Lumière in 2009 after a decade of restorative work, with a simple idea: cosmetic dentistry should look like nothing was done at all.

A studio built for calm.
Small rituals that make long appointments feel shorter, and short ones feel like a pause in the day.
- The tea bar. Loose-leaf teas, sparkling water and a quiet corner while you wait, which is rarely long.
- Garden-facing rooms. Every treatment room looks onto a planted courtyard, not a hallway.
- Comfort kit. Noise-cancelling headphones, weighted blankets and warm neck pillows on request.
- Private restroom. Freshen up with a new toothbrush and good light before you head back out.
- Considered details. Unscented linens, soft lighting and chairs chosen for long appointments.
Begin with a quiet conversation.
A consultation with photography, a 3D scan and a written plan. No pressure, and nothing decided until you are ready.
Rated 4.9 by 612 patients. Most PPO plans welcome.
