About This Provider

Dr. Fred Lucas brings 31 years of periodontic experience to North Shore Periodontics and Implantology in Skokie, Illinois. He earned his DDS from the University of Illinois in 1993 and completed his Certificate in Periodontics at the University of Tennessee in 1995. Beyond private practice, Dr. Lucas serves as Chief of Periodontics at Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago and as an Associate Professor in the Periodontics Department at the University of Illinois Dental School. These dual roles place him at the intersection of advanced clinical care and academic training. Referring dentists consistently trust him with complex cases, a distinction that reflects his reputation for technical precision and clear patient communication. Dr. Lucas uses CBCT 3D imaging and surgical guides to plan implant placement with accuracy, and he offers LANAP laser therapy as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. His clinical range covers dental implants, bone grafting, soft tissue surgery, sinus lifts, osseous surgery, and the full spectrum of periodontal care, all available under one roof.
