Welcome to Lucent Orthodontics in San Antonio

We believe that the best orthodontic experience starts the moment you walk through the door. At Lucent Orthodontics and Dental Specialists, we designed every detail of our San Antonio office with your comfort, your family, and your smile in mind. From the warm, inviting reception area to the modern treatment spaces equipped with up-to-date technology, our office is built to make you feel at home while receiving the highest standard of care.



We know that visiting any healthcare office for the first time — especially for patients who may feel anxious about orthodontic treatment — can be a little nerve-wracking. That is why we want to give you a look inside our office before you even step through the front door. Take a virtual walk through our space below and see for yourself why families across San Antonio feel so comfortable choosing Lucent Orthodontics for their care.
