MEET DR. PATRICIA
Dr. Patricia C. de Luna
Surgeon Dentist
Preventive, Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Patricia has built an excellent reputation as a trustworthy dentist, known for her dedication to honesty, ethics, and integrity. With a deep passion for caring for others and giving back to the community, she pursued a career in dentistry, graduating from one of the highest ranked dental schools in the country.
To stay at the forefront of her field, Dr. Patricia regularly attends seminars and dental meetings, with a particular interest in Prevention, Esthetics, and Sports Dentistry. In recognition of her commitment, she received a Tribute from the São Paulo Dental Association (APCD) in 2011 and the INC Presidents Award in 2012 for her exceptional dedication to the international community in São Paulo.
She is a member of several professional organizations, including the Academy for Sports Dentistry (USA), Associação Brasileira de Odontologia Desportiva (Brazil), Associação Paulista de Cirurgiões Dentistas (APCD Brazil), Conselho Regional de Odontologia (CRO-SP Brazil), Conselho Federal de Odontologia (CFO Brazil), and the Interamerican Association of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology (IAPO).
Dr. Patricia also actively promotes preventive care through workshops and courses for parents, children, and school staff, and volunteers her time with international expatriate social organizations in the city.
An avid reader and traveler, she has recently taken up Muay Thai. She founded her Family Dentistry practice, pioneering the concept of family dentistry in Brazil. Her commitment to excellence, combined with her diverse cultural experiences as an expat, enables her to offer comprehensive treatment plans. Her compassion for children and ability to address parental concerns have made her a favorite among families.
Born in Brazil, Dr. Patricia grew up as a third-culture kid, moving from Mexico City to Crystal Lake, Illinois, and later to Amsterdam. She returned to São Paulo in 1987, where she completed her studies and established her private practice, serving the international community with a focus on General Dentistry for both adults and children, emphasizing Prevention and Esthetics.
Helping patients feel more comfortable and positive about their dental experiences, and providing a supportive and culturally familiar experience to fellow expats is one of her greatest joys.
Dr. Patricia's philosophy is to provide the highest quality dental care with minimal intervention, aiming to keep her patients free from cavities and other oral diseases.
