The entire staff was so sweet & compassionate when I mentioned my dental anxieties/previous dental problems. Dr. Lugakingira comprehensively went through my medical history before starting the procedure, and was very gentle/kind when talking through what he would do. His assistant was also incredibly prepared, giving him what he needed without him even looking up. She was also very kind when prepping me. The surgery was fast, didn't feel invasive, and my stitches were done super cleanly. I'm amazed and didn't know dental care could be this good 馃槉馃憤

The team here is great. I was having an issue with a wisdom tooth that I finally needed to have removed. They were able to get me in quickly, the staff was very friendly, and got me in and out. I highly recommend them and will use them again when/if the need arises.

Doctor Luga and staff are absolutely the best馃檹. They are kind, compassionate and put you to ease. You always see smiles. They throughly explain everything they will be doing. They prepare you for your at-home care to ensure you heal in the best possible way. Both my husband and I are both implant clients of this amazing group. We would not go anywhere or trust anyone else. Fort Wayne鈥檚 best鉂わ笍

Initially, I was impressed with Dr. Lugakingira's credentials & his amazing staff; Eric, Michelle, Rose & Olivia were all so warm & kind. The procedures were painless yet intense, extractions of a back molar & a 2nd tooth, as well as the placement of 2 implants. Dr. Lugakingira & his staff moved like one person. It felt like a dance with perfect rhythm & precision. Rose held the back of my head/skull in place, which took profound strength, while Dr. Lugakingira stood at my right focused, clear, aware, brilliant & in the ZONE. A very kind nurse stood at my left assisting him. Each attended their jobs allowing me to feel safe in their care. Another, nurse stood in front, in support of anyone's needs. It was beautifully choreographed with phenomenal results. To this point, even with the swelling I have felt no pain.... I am so grateful to Dr. Lugakingira, Eric, Michelle, Rose, & Olivia for their amazing kindness & care.... Thank you all so much.... Joy

About Fort Wayne Oral Maxillofacial Surgery & Implant Center
Fort Wayne Oral Maxillofacial Surgery & Implant Center is located at 2121 East Dupont Road in Fort Wayne, at the intersection of Dupont and Auburn Roads near Starbucks and just off Interstate 69. The practice focuses on dental implant solutions, including All-on-4 and full-arch treatment for patients who are missing some or all of their teeth. Patients considering implants can expect a practice built specifically around surgical tooth replacement rather than general dentistry, which means the surgical team is focused day to day on implant placement and related procedures.
The practice is led by Dr. Mulokozi Lugakingira, who patients and staff refer to as the implant doctor. He is originally from Tanzania and earned his dental degrees before pursuing additional training in oral and maxillofacial surgery. For patients weighing a full-arch or All-on-4 procedure, having a dedicated implant focused team at a single Fort Wayne location, with continuity of care from consultation through follow up, can make the treatment planning process more straightforward. Existing patients are able to reach the office through an answering service for support between visits.
