Mr Lucas Wiebe

Hi, my name is Lucas Wiebe and I started my career at Impact Dental in 2023. I was born in the small town of Canton, SD where most of my family still resides. My dad farmed pigs and welded full time and my mom actually worked at a dental clinic for 43 years. My parents taught me the values of working hard early in life. In early years, I played football, baseball, track, and bowled. In these sports, I learned how to be a part of a team which I think is highly valuable even today when working with my dental team! One thing I have really been impressed with is the communication, helpfulness and the strive to be a good team with the same goal of providing exceptional care at Impact Dental. I worked at many different jobs throughout the years before dental school. Most of them were labor jobs, but some jobs I had extra responsibilities where I had to make leadership decisions which affected other teammates at my job. I use these experiences every day working as a dentist. It wasn’t until 2010 that I knew that I wanted to become a dentist and not a physician. I always knew that I wanted to work with patients, promote health, and help people and one day it just clicked that Dentistry was for me. I may have been a little persuaded by my mother who had been in the dental field since she was 15 years old and loved it so much. I realized that Dentistry would be challenging yet very fulfilling, and I can make a difference in someone’s life every day. I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of South Dakota in 2012 and was accepted into dental school in Lincoln, NE. I attended the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry from 2012-2016. I didn’t know a single person in Lincoln at the time but my first day down there I met Anthony Olson. We were similar in how we were raised, our ideals and morals aligned and we developed a strong friendship as well as a professional relationship. Knowing each other for so long has really helped us when working towards a common goal for our patients. Since 2016, I have practiced dentistry in Canton, SD and have made some great relationships. I have also been able to travel over the U.S. and even Puerto Rico for continuing education. I have done hundreds of hours of CE in General Dentistry, Orthodontics, Oral Surgery as well as advanced implant training. The implant training I received really caught my interest. It sparked a passion in me to focus more on surgery and implants because I feel they can make the most positive impact on patients and their day to day life. This is why I am so excited about being at Impact Dental. When I am not working, I like to fish, hunt, golf, and spend time at my house in rural Canton. Most of all, I like to spend time with my wife, Brittany and my two daughters, Hollis and Kollins.
