Dr. Christopher Luccy is Westmoreland County's only board certified pediatric dentist.  He is a member of the medical staff at Children's Hospital at Pittsburgh and has represented pediatric dentistry on both the state and national level for over 30 years.  He currently serves the Pennsylvania Dental Association in a variety of programs related to children's dental health, and is a consultant for the Pennsylvania Dental Association that deals with problems involving patients covered by Council on Clinical Affairs and the Council on Constitution and Bylaws for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.  These committees develop and define policies and guidelines to establish the mo0st appropriate dental treatment for children.

As a nationally recognized expert in facial growth and development, Dr. Luccy has taught two ADA certified continuing education courses on the subject.  For over 15 years, he lectured extensively throughout the United States and this expertise is used to maximize every child’s potential for ideal facial growth and development (that beautiful smile).

Dr. Luccy is also recognized nationally for his expertise in conscious sedation.  He has published articles and served on national committees on how to best help children too young or afraid to accept dental care without special help.  Dr. Luccy works weekly with Dr. C. Richard Bennett, our staff anesthesiologist.  For over 30 years, Dr. Bennett served as professor and chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology at the Pitt Dental School.  He comes to Dr. Luccy's office to provide IV sedation for children in need.  Dr. Luccy and Dr. Bennett work together exclusively in Westmoreland County because they have the utmost confidence in the abilities of each other.  We know of no safer way to treat fearful children than by using the sedation techniques which have proven to be safe and successful over the last 30 years.
