Dr. Luz was born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts, and obtained his BS in Medical Laboratory Science at UMASS Lowell. He then worked in the clinical chemistry lab at Mass General Hospital.
He soon discovered that his genuine desire was to work directly with patients to solve their problems quickly and efficiently. This led him to pursue dentistry and attend the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine in Long Island, New York.

Annual oral cancer screening performed by a trained professional is essential for overall health. Cancer in the oral cavity can spread quickly to other parts of the body but is curable if caught early.
Patient education is a pillar of our practice. We want to work with you to craft a unique plan that fits your oral health needs. We want you to understand the “why.” During your visit, you can expect an in-depth review of treatment recommendations, dedicated time to answer any questions, and ways to maintain your natural smile at home in between office visits.
Sealant placement is a minimally invasive procedure that protects deep pits and grooves on back teeth from decay. The treated surfaces will be thoroughly cleaned, etched (for maximum adhesion), and sealed with a light-cured composite resin during the procedure. A properly placed sealant can last many years and prevent decay, requiring more expensive treatment. Sealants can be placed in both children and adults.
Do you wake up with a sore jaw or sensitive or worn-down teeth? If you notice cracks in your teeth or experience frequent headaches, a night guard may be the solution. Many people grind or clench their teeth, often unconsciously, during sleep. This condition, known as bruxism, can cause significant damage to teeth over time, leading to cracks, chips, and premature wear. Additionally, it can strain jaw muscles and contribute to jaw pain or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer custom night guards that provide a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep. Night guards help prevent further tooth damage, reduce jaw discomfort, and alleviate the symptoms associated with bruxism. By wearing a night guard, you can protect your smile and improve your overall oral health, ensuring long-term comfort and function.
Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a crucial role in protecting and strengthening teeth. It helps to remineralize tooth enamel, making it more resistant to the harmful effects of bacteria that cause tooth decay. For patients at a higher risk of tooth decay, fluoride treatments can provide an added layer of protection. This is especially important for children, individuals with dry mouths, or those with a history of frequent cavities.
At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry, we recommend fluoride treatments during routine cleaning visits for patients who are at increased risk for decay. The application is quick and painless, allowing us to deliver a concentrated dose of fluoride directly to your teeth for optimal protection. Regular fluoride treatments and good oral hygiene practices can significantly reduce the risk of cavities and help maintain long-term oral health.

We use intra-oral scanning technology to take digital impressions of your mouth. Intraoral scanners are a leading-edge technology used to capture detailed, digital images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional impressions, which can be uncomfortable and messy, intraoral scanners provide a quick, precise, and comfortable experience.
The handheld device creates high-resolution 3-D images of your mouth, which can be instantly displayed on a screen, allowing your dentist and you to assess your oral health more accurately.
These digital impressions are used for a variety of procedures, including crowns, bridges, clear aligners, and other restorations. Intraoral scanning eliminates the need for traditional impression materials, making your visit more pleasant…No more goop!
