Lucas Patrick, DMD, MMSc, a Periodontist with The Dentist at Hopkinton
Get to know Periodontist Dr. Lucas Patrick, who serves patients in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
A skilled periodontist, Dr. Patrick was born and raised in Indonesia, and ventured to the United States in 2001 to embark on a remarkable educational and professional trajectory.
Before embarking on his professional journey, in 2006, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Undeterred by the challenges of transitioning disciplines, he pursued his passion for dentistry at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine, where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 2010.
Driven by a keen interest in the surgical facets of dentistry, Dr. Patrick delved deeper into his field by completing a one-year oral and maxillofacial surgery internship at Boston University immediately after dental school. His commitment to providing comprehensive dental care led him to work as a general dentist in both community dental clinics and private practice settings in Maine.
Eager to expand his expertise, the doctor returned to Boston and furthered his education at Harvard University School of Dental Medicine. Here, he earned a certificate in periodontics and a Master of Medical Science, solidifying his proficiency in this specialized area of dentistry.
Periodontics is the dental specialty focusing exclusively on the inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and other supporting structures around the teeth. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants.
During his dental school years, Dr. Patrick’s dedication and scholarly endeavors did not go unnoticed. He received the prestigious Goldman School of Dental Medicine Dean’s Award and the Outstanding Achievement Award in Research, a testament to his excellence in pre-doctoral research in dental biomaterials.
On a more personal note, he is a soccer aficionado and makes the most of his free time by exploring new destinations and culinary experiences with his wife.
