About Luna Dental

A space-themed office with an arcade and cinema room helps anxious kids, including those with autism or ADHD, get through appointments calmly.

Luna Dental is a general dental practice in McAllen that also offers Invisalign and TMJ treatment. Many reviews focus on how well the office works with young children and families managing several kids' appointments at once, with a game room, cinema, and space-themed decor mentioned often as a way to ease the wait. Dr. Jose Soto is noted for patience with anxious or special-needs children and for explaining treatment steps and costs before starting work. A couple of reviews mention Invisalign specifically, describing visible progress within weeks and avoiding a longer extraction-based plan.

If I could give 5+ ⭐⭐ I would. I am very self conscious cause I have front teeth missing and just overall not great set of teeth to look at. Anyhow I had dental emergency. They didn't pressure me into getting more work than what I came in for. That's what I truly appreciated the most. I have been to other dentists in the past and they have made me feel overwhelmed and emotional with the amount of work I need. Today I was in pain and today I felt heard and understood at the Luna clinic. Today I didn't feel like $$ symbol when they looked at me. They saw me as a person. I greatly appreciate the whole team. Front desk was responsive and respectful from the time I made the call to the point of arriving. Wait time was about 45 mins. Nurse for exam was patient and sweet. X-rays went smoothly. Billing was smooth and non judgemental when it came to understanding that I needed only the extraction. He did not pressure me or make me feel bad for my choice. Dr. Soto made sure I was numb completely. He will double check, triple check, before actually starting the procedure. He was kind and respectful the whole time. Environment was clean and tidy. I'm glad I made the right choice and came here. I most definitely recommend this place for your next dental appointment 🦷🪥✨

Super happy with Dr. Soto!!! My daughter Gianna used to cry with every doctor, but not with Dr. Soto. He is AMAZING with kids and makes them feel comfortable right away. He also explains everything so clearly and thoroughly. We truly appreciate his patience and care. Highly recommend!

I brought my kids for the first time to establish themselves with a new dentist. This was a great experience. Dr. Soto took the time to explain the treatment plan and was very professional. Steve, the office manager, was thorough with explaining the insurance benefits. Staff was very nice and always smiling. I highly recommend this office. Omar Flores
