Dr. Greg Lutke
Dr. Gregory M. Lutke DDS graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1985 and maintains a private practice in Plano, Texas specializing in esthetic zone dentistry. As founder and CEO of Dallas Dental Solutions, a digital hands-on facility where Dr. Lutke teaches advanced hands-on courses on digital communication technology as it relates to dentistry. These courses focus on the high end of digital technology which includes “film quality” digital photography, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft PowerPoint, and digital video, including the new “high definition” DV standard. The resulting skills allow dentists to fully communicate, visually, complex multi-disciplinary cases to patients. The technology skills also empower dentists to practice in a completely digital dental office- free from paper, film, and filing cabinets. This level of digital dentistry is vastly different than earlier systems and is most characterized as both modern and elegant.
Dr. Lutke serves on the AACD’s special committee on Digital Photography for Accreditation, which has recently been full implemented into the accreditation process along with the 35mm film standard. He also was the chartering president of The Texas Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry in 2003.
