Biography

About Dr. Sofia

Dr. Sofia Lindqvist joined LUMINA after postgraduate training in paediatric dentistry and several years in community practice, where she developed her specialty: patients who would rather be anywhere else. Her appointment book runs deliberately slower than average, because trust takes minutes that production schedules rarely allow.

Sofia leads children's dentistry and gum health across the Hillcrest clinic, and coordinates our nervous patient pathway — longer appointments, agreed stop signals, and sedation options when needed.

Originally from Gothenburg, she is the reason the Hillcrest staff room always smells of cardamom buns.

Patient Stories

What patients say

Patient testimonials

First practice that never made me feel guilty about the gap since my last visit. Just a genuinely kind, thorough check-up and a plan I could actually afford. My whole family comes here now.
Aisha · Examination & Hygiene
Cracked a molar on a Sunday, called Monday at 8am, was in the chair by 10:30 and out of pain by 11. They told me the cost before touching anything. That kind of transparency is rare.
Tom · Emergency Appointment

Testimonials are fictional and illustrative.
