Confidence. Success. Joy.
A beautiful smile speaks volumes!

What does your smile say about you? In today’s dental industry, transformation can be accomplished in as little as one visit. As opposed to traditional orthodontics, taking months for patients to see visible results (except for the braces on their teeth), our guests often achieve a completely new smile in the span of mere hours.

The overwhelming popularity of television shows like The Swan and Extreme Makeover demonstrate a growing public awareness of cosmetic procedures, as well as the profound transformation such procedures promote in how one defines oneself in the world. The space that opens up for self-expression, confidence and joy almost defies explanation. Our guest comments bear witness to the powerful nature of the service we provide.

Just listen to what they have to say:

“Thank you for really giving me something to smile about! I cannot tell you how my new smile has changed my life…the confidence, security, boldness, acceptance… the knowing. Oh, and let’s not forget the short skirts, skin-tight pants, and RED LIPSTICK! I am eternally grateful.” – Dr. Angela Perry

“The 19th will be my one-year anniversary of your office blessing me with a pretty smile. My family and I took pictures back in mid-July and here is a copy of one of my poses. Thank you all so much for that generous blessing a year ago. God Bless You All.” – Eunice

(NOTE: Upon first calling Eunice’s daughter with the news of our choice to do her case pro-bono, we learned that Eunice hadn’t let anyone photograph her since the mid-80s. Her daughter was 33 years old and didn’t have a photo with her mother. In that light, you can see how wonderful this letter made us feel!)

“Now, when I audition for the theatre, I can be considered for more than the character role… I can be the pretty lady also. Seriously though, I can smile without putting my hand over my mouth to hide that unsightly gap and uneven lengths. Oh! And did I mention crooked? Yes, now no one can say that my mouth looks like an obstacle course. Thanks for working with me to get my gums healthy so that I could get the teeth fixed. I already have had positive reactions from people, even when this was just a ‘work in progress.’ So now that the dress rehearsal is over, I have opening night, the run of my life, and lots of galas to come!” – Margaret

“Thanks to you for giving me back my radiant smile! After years of suppressing my smile in order to hide my metal-edged crowns, uneven and dull teeth, I can now embrace my smile and let my natural beauty glow! Friends and family tell me how youthful and beautiful I look and the only thing that changed was the smile that Dr. Locklear gave me along with flawless, natural and stunning crowns! You are an outstanding dentist. Your staff is one of the best teams in dentistry. I value and honor your warm, responsive, and expert patient-care practice.” – Joyce

“I wasn’t sure if I should have cosmetic procedures on my teeth. I wasn’t totally pleased with what I saw in the mirror, but everyone else told me my teeth were fine. But I decided I needed to do it for myself, and I went with it. I contacted Dr. Locklear, and went for an appointment. Her office is calm and very attractive, and she and her staff were professional, friendly, and seemed to understand my needs. The outcome was beautiful! My teeth are just as I wanted them… full, straight, white, and perfect but still natural. Dr. Locklear seems to have an artist’s eye. She made my teeth exactly how I wanted them to be. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Locklear’s office. I would do it all again, without hesitation.” - Lisa

Dr. Locklear’s incorporation of neuromuscular and orthopedic techniques also places her in a very unique niche among cosmetic dental practices and recently won her Black Enterprise Magazine’s 2006 Small Business Innovator of the Year award. Neuromuscular dentistry yields results that would be impossible through cosmetic dentistry alone. By relaxing the facial muscles through a process called TENSing and building the bite to support healthy, balanced muscles, Dr. Locklear is able to impact facial harmony as well as dental aesthetics, creating gorgeous smiles!
