Meet the Team

Dr. Andrea Lugo
Dentist
Dr. Andrea Lugo is originally from Colombia, where she grew up in a loving family with her parents and four siblings. Inspired by the lack of access to dental care in her community, she pursued a degree in dentistry at El Bosque University and practiced general dentistry for four years.
Seeking to grow personally and professionally, Dr. Lugo moved to Boston, MA and completed her D.M.D. at Boston University in 2016. She later joined BU’s dental faculty, where she mentored students and embraced the latest in digital dentistry. She has continued expanding her skills with training in cosmetic procedures, restorative, implants, Invisalign, and Botox, always striving to help patients feel confident and cared for.
After becoming a mom to her now 8-year-old son, she recently relocated to Texas to build new roots in a family-friendly community. Outside of work, she enjoys exercising, playing with her son Daniel and their dog Vic, and giving back through outreach programs like Give Kids a Smile, the Hispanic Dental Association, and local school health initiatives.
She is passionate about connecting with families and delivering gentle, personalized care that supports both oral health and self-confidence.
