Meet Dr. Carrington

Education

Dr. Carrington’s path to dentistry began with his fascination with biochemistry. Earning his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from the University of Washington laid the groundwork for his understanding of the intricate relationships between science and health. He then pursued his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of Nevada. But his thirst for knowledge didn’t stop there. Dr. Carrington is a lifelong learner, constantly expanding his skill set. He completed advanced training at the Kois Center—a globally renowned institution that equips dentists with cutting-edge skills. Additionally, he honed his expertise in implant dentistry through the rigorous MaxiCourse offered by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), solidifying his reputation as a skilled and forward-thinking practitioner.

Beyond the Practice

Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Carrington maintains a balanced and fulfilling personal life. His fitness routine regularly takes him to the gym, where he sharpens his mental and physical resilience. Food lovers can likely relate to his hobby of uncovering new culinary treasures with his wife, whether it’s a trendy restaurant or a hidden gem in the neighborhood. When he’s not dining out, he enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, crafting meals that bring family and friends together.

Dr. Carrington’s philosophy of care mirrors his life values. Whether treating a routine cavity or designing a complete smile makeover, he combines meticulous attention to detail with empathy and kindness. His drive is simple yet impactful: the doctor ensures patients leave happier, healthier, and more confident than when they arrived.

Our Approach: Comfort and Quality

At Lumin8 Dentistry, we understand that dental visits often come with apprehension. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to redefine your experience. From the moment you step into our practice, you’ll notice our unwavering focus on comfort and quality. We believe dentistry goes beyond healthy teeth—it’s about forming connections, making you feel valued, and providing an environment that eases your anxiety.

Personalizing Your Care

Our approach begins with personalization. Every patient is unique and deserves care tailored to their specific needs. We dedicate time to understanding your health goals, lifestyle, and concerns. Whether you’re here for preventive care, teeth whitening, or something more complex like dental implants, we guide you through each step of your treatment plan. This transparency ensures that you’re always informed and empowered to make decisions about your oral health.

Ensuring A Comfortable Experience

Comfort extends beyond words. It’s in the warm smiles of our team, the soothing atmosphere of our office, and our attention to the most minor details. We continually refine our practices to make your time with us as pleasant as possible. Gentle approaches, precise treatments, and open communication all work together to create an exceptional dental experience.

Technological Innovations

Modern dentistry thrives on innovation, and at Lumin8 Dentistry, we stay at the forefront of the latest advancements in dental technology. We firmly believe that combining skilled hands with state-of-the-art tools leads to superior results, and our patients deserve nothing but the best.

One of the hallmarks of our practice is our use of digital X-rays. Unlike traditional X-rays, digital imaging ensures faster results with improved accuracy while reducing radiation exposure. This equipment allows us to diagnose and treat issues before they escalate, helping you maintain long-term oral health.

Our intraoral scanners and cameras also enhance your experience. These high-tech devices eliminate the need for messy impressions by capturing precise 3D images of your teeth and gums. This ensures we can craft highly accurate crowns, bridges, or dentures while keeping you more comfortable during the process.

We’ve also embraced innovations like the SonicFill Composite Injecting System, which simplifies restorative treatments, such as filling cavities. This system allows us to work efficiently without compromising quality, helping to restore the appearance and functionality of your teeth seamlessly. Additionally, our comprehensive sterilization measures and advanced diagnostic tools ensure an environment where safety meets excellence.

Modern technology transforms procedures and patients’ experiences of dentistry. With these tools, we provide minimally invasive treatments that are quicker, more precise, and often less stressful. At Lumin8 Dentistry, technology isn’t just about innovation; it’s about improving the way we care for you.

Why Choose Lumin8 Dentistry?

With so many dental practices to choose from, we understand how overwhelming it can be to find the right one. That’s why we go the extra mile to make Lumin8 Dentistry your trusted partner in oral health. Our approach rests on three pillars—modernity, inclusivity, and patient-centric care.

Comfortable Environment

Our modern facility is designed to impress from the moment you walk through the door. Far from the clinical settings you might expect, our office feels more like a boutique retreat. The waiting area, complete with complimentary refreshments, allows you to relax while you wait for your appointment. Once inside our private treatment rooms, you’ll find entertainment options to keep you engaged during procedures.

Welcoming Atmosphere

What truly sets us apart, though, is our welcoming atmosphere. Our team reflects the diversity of the Lakewood community, and that’s no coincidence. Dr. Carrington’s ability to speak Korean, along with the multilingual skills of our staff, ensures that language is never a barrier to care. We believe everyone deserves a voice in their dental treatment, and we take pride in making our office feel like home for patients from all backgrounds.

Focus on Prevention

Our treatment philosophy also focuses on preventive care. We aim not just to treat issues but to prevent them before they arise. Regular check-ups, cleanings, and patient education lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. However, when restorative or cosmetic work is needed, you can trust us to deliver these services with precision and artistry.

Ultimately, what makes us stand out isn’t just our tools or techniques. It’s our unwavering commitment to putting you first. From listening to your concerns to celebrating your dental milestones with you, we aim to redefine what a visit to the dentist feels like.
