"I just want to say how much I love each and every one of you. I have appreciated the pain ( :) ), pleasure, and passion of this entire experience. I love my smile! I cannot say it more simply than that.

"I’ve wanted to correct my severe under bite since 9th grade when an artist drew a cartoon of me with a perfect smile. I did some research about possible dental procedures, but no one could assure me that it would correct my bite, and I never built up the courage to do it.

Eventually, I simply didn’t smile and it started to affect how I was perceived as a person. I discovered Dr. Locklear in an article in Black Enterprise magazine, and after speaking with Makael I knew that this was the place for me.

I received my new bite and new smile on March 5th, the day before our engagement photos. Needless to say, the engagement and wedding photos were the best pictures I have ever taken.

Thank you to Dr. Locklear and her wonderful staff for giving me confidence about myself and my smile.

“Last night my husband and I were sitting across the kitchen table from each other, and we were cracking-up about something that my oldest had said that left us hysterical. So every time he and I looked at each other, we burst into laughter. About the third time laughing and him looking at me, he suddenly stopped and said, "Those are the prettiest teeth I have ever seen." I just smiled and kept eating and playing. He stopped laughing and said, "No, really Don, they are the prettiest teeth I have ever seen. They look so real. Your mouth is just beautiful! -- I mean you've always had a pretty smile, but I can't believe how pretty your teeth are -- they look better than mine. You make me want to go get my mouth done!" Yes, I have THE BEST husband, but I also have THE BEST dental doctor!!!

“The teeth have been a hit. Every single person that I know, has noticed and loved the teeth. My co-workers are shocked. They think that somehow you pulled out my old teeth and put on the new ones. I felt like I was holding press conferences, explaining the procedure. To be honest, I never thought would get that much attention! I was blushing every time my co-workers would compliment me about my teeth.

Lisa wanted a full, beautiful smile without it being obvious that any work had been done. We suggested nine veneers, which are similar in concept to a press-on nail, to enhance the proportions of the teeth and fill in the "frame" of the lips. The bonded restoration integrates with the patient's natural tooth and has the effect of creating the desired shape and color, while filling in spaces or correcting crowding.

"I'm convinced. You know I always complain about you being "in my pockets." Well, it has been the best investment I've made. Keep up the great work. I'm smiling :)

“Before meeting you, my teeth made me feel embarrassed and unattractive. I didn't have a full smile, I had a smirk. I didn't date. I didn't have pictures taken. I even continued to smoke so that I'd have an excuse for my "blah" smile. I would have stayed in the house all the time if life would have allowed it. Now I'm almost smoke-free and I smile ALL the time!! THANK YOU for restoring my self-esteem; it is truly the best gift I have  ever received.

"Not only have I got a movie star smile, but I've finally got a bite! Now, when I'm at the National Pres Club or one of the many public appearances I need to attend, I SMILE.

“I stepped into this office with a mouth full of old fillings and a bad attitude toward dentists. Job stress contributed to a serious and painful TMJ problem. You and your “team” gave me great care in every meaning of that word. You all were committed to ensuring may total well-being – not just my mouth, but heart and spirit as well. I have a beautiful smile, and that makes for a better day. Neuromuscular dentistry was a radical solution to a long-standing problem. Throughout the process, I felt supported and nurtured. I’m in a very different place now from when I started. Thank you all. Namaste.

"Merely hours after receiving my new 'neuromuscular bite' from Dr. Locklear, not only did I have a stunning smile, but I felt like a 10-lb. weight had been removed from my neck. My friends can't figure out why I look so good, and my chiropractor is amazed that knots I've had for years have dissolved so quickly. I feel gorgeous and I can't stop smiling!

“Several years ago I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder (MCTD). It’s an autoimmune disease that can affect many parts of the body. In my case it affects my muscles and joints causing extreme pain. I had issues with TMJ in which I experienced jaw cracking and severe facial tension. As a result of Dr. Locklear’s expert care, the number of flare-ups with my jaw has significantly decreased, I feel much, much better, and I get lots of compliments on my gorgeous smile!

Alice's goal was comprehensive care and an improvement to her smile. Her bite was over-closed, creating problems with forces in her mouth. This had caused bone loss and periodontal problems at the gum line, fractures, and excessive wear. She chose full mouth neuromuscular restoration to accomplish her goals. We relaxed the muscles in her jaw and determined the position for her ideal bite, then stabilized and restored her to that position with appliance therapy followed by crowns and veneers. She is thrilled!

“Dearest Lynn, I’m finally sending ‘my baby pictures’ to you and all your happy and talented co-workers. “Wini & Spencer, The Aristocrats of Rhythm,” when we worked at The Apollo and The Playa in New York. We had some Great Times, and met some famous people. But if it hadn’t been for Beverly [Wini’s daughter], not just trying to get her mother’s Groove Back, but getting my Smile Back … Thanks again to you and your great team.

-  Love, Wini" - I couldn’t be happier

“Like many, I can procrastinate with the best of them. My dental care was unfortunately at the top of that list until one rainy day, when I showed up at Dr. Locklear’s front door in acute pain with an abscessed tooth. From that day forward, with Lynn’s treatment plan, I was able to conquer my fear and restore my good dental health. That led to my decision to go forward with the restoration of my smile and since that day I continue to get many positive comments about my enhanced appearance.

My advice to anyone contemplating whether or not to go forward with the “smile enhancement”… don’t delay!!

“My dental problems started in 2001 and I struggled with a temporary dental bridge for my front teeth. I could not chew food on both sides because of missing lower molars. I went to several dentists with no luck and my savings dwindled low. This year my dental situation went from bad to worse. Several times my front teeth fell off in front of my friends and clients, much to my embarrassment! For the last two months I used denture bonding cream three or four times a day to keep my front teeth secure.

In despair, I looked up for a miracle and came across an advertisement about Life-Enhancing Dentistry. Immediately I called and I was impressed by the warmth of the receptionist. Then and there the process of the miracle started…

Now I am blessed with new teeth fitted in on June 13. I looked in the mirror and saw my new teeth. I SMILED… Thank you, thank you, thank you… My heart is filled with joy and deep gratitude to Dr. Lynn Locklear and her endearing staff for making this miracle possible.!

- May, with beautiful teeth"
