Comprehensive Exam
Our comprehensive exams include thorough teeth, gum, and jaw evaluations to detect early issues. We use digital imaging and patient education to create preventive care plans. This service ensures long-term oral health through personalized, proactive treatment strategies.
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore damaged teeth' strength and appearance using durable, natural-colored materials. We match crowns precisely to your existing teeth for seamless aesthetics. This treatment preserves tooth structure while enhancing functionality and confidence in your smile.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly with removable, custom aligners. We create digital treatment plans for gradual, comfortable tooth movement. This solution offers aesthetic and functional benefits without traditional braces' visibility.
Root Canals
Our root canal treatments remove infected pulp to save compromised teeth. Advanced techniques minimize discomfort while preserving natural tooth structure. This procedure relieves pain and prevents extraction through precise, compassionate care.

Looking for new dentist. Still looking. Dr insisted an old filling needed replaced even though I was having no problem. After a grueling hour or so for the gum chewing girl to reconstruct my molar, I now have an appointment elsewhere to have that molar pulled. They left a gap under the filling that has decayed. Dr Locker is a bit creepy too. He made the statement at my first appointment that they offer nitrous oxide so I can enjoy the appointment. Very strange.

Today I had an amazing first visit! Everyone was kind, welcoming and very thorough. Pricing is very reasonable as I do not carry dental insurance at this time. I'm soooo excited to get my smile back!

Dr Locker and his team are very awesome. They really care about their patients and have done so much to help heal myself and my daughter's teeth. Efficient up to date best novocaine method I've ever encountered! Highly recommend visiting their office if you have a tooth issue or even a whole mouth of trouble. You will be met with compassion and grace. And if the power goes out they keep their heads and finish the jobs they started!

Concerned for my anxiety - Concerned with my pain tolerance - Explained what they were doing - Friendly office staff - Lastly, went above and beyond to fit me in when I arrived on day which I missed scheduled and wasn't to be there! I can't say enough how happy I am to actually go to the dentist after all my anxiety from a child! Excellent treatment!

Dr and staff are very welcoming and nice. They greet you as soon as you walk in the door. Love that it doesn't hurt at all when they numb you ask about it they use the pen no pain at all. Dr talked to you when he is working on you and in my opinion that eases any anxiety
