About Lux Smiles NYC
Same-day emergency scheduling and a steady stream of patients transferring mid-treatment mark this office, alongside a recently renovated space and modern equipment.
Lux Smiles NYC is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, and TMJ treatment. Reviews frequently mention a recently renovated office with modern equipment, quick scheduling with minimal wait times, and a staff many describe as treating patients like family, including help navigating insurance paperwork. A number of patients say they transferred mid-treatment from other offices and found the transition smooth under Dr. Khalife, who took over the practice. Some reviews raise concerns about billing inconsistencies and occasional pressure toward added treatments.

Had a great experience. Facilities were well maintained and aesthetically pleasing. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I've been searching for a dental home for a few years and immediately felt comfortable and excited about Lux Smiles.

I couldn't be more impressed and delighted with this dental practice. I had a dental emergency and saw Dr. Li. She was amazing! She has a phenomenal bedside manner. I was nervous and she really put me at ease. Dr. Li also perfectly explained why I needed a certain procedure. Stephanie, and the entire reception staff, are extremely warm and welcoming as well. I highly recommend this extraordinary dental practice.

I grew up going to one dentist so was scared to make a switch to a new one but WOW! This amazingly located office is full of amazing dentist and dental hygienist. I had invaslign done a year prior and still had glue on my teeth from removal (another office) and the hygienist and dentist did the best cleaning and removal taking special care. Truly amazing attention and care.
