Fogaca Dentistry

Lucas Fogaca DDS, operating under the name Fogaca Dentistry, is a dental practice located at 1631 Doctors Cir, Wilmington, NC 28401. The clinic is led by Dr. Lucas Fogaca, who has harbored a passion for dentistry since childhood in Brazil. He pursued his dream by graduating from High Point University with a Biology degree and then earning his DDS degree with Distinction from UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry. In 2024, Dr. Fogaca realized his goal of owning his own practice by taking over Dr. Hal Nicholson's practice in Wilmington. Fogaca Dentistry is committed to providing individualized, comprehensive dental care with a focus on general, functional, and aesthetic dentistry. Their services encompass everyday dental needs such as check-ups and cleanings, emergency visits, crown and bridge work, dental implants, fillings, periodontal therapy, dentures and partials, and more complex full-mouth procedures. The practice emphasizes "functional dentistry" by treating the entire masticatory system, including joints, muscles, and teeth, to ensure comfortable and lasting results. They also specialize in "aesthetic dentistry," offering treatments like Zoom Whitening, simple bondings, and veneers. As a fully digital practice, they can preview final results before starting treatments, helping patients achieve their desired smiles. Patient testimonials highlight Dr. Fogaca's professionalism, personable approach, and the friendly and attentive nature of his staff. Patients appreciate the clear explanations of treatment options and the focus on their well-being. The clinic aims to build trust and develop personalized treatment plans, adhering to Dr. Fogaca's philosophy that "you can never fit one person's treatment plan in another person's mouth." Dr. Fogaca himself enjoys fishing, surfing, foiling, and relaxing at Mason's Inlet in his free time, having made Wilmington his home since moving from Brazil.
