Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care and early detection of oral health issues. We provide comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, and treatments for gum disease and cavities. Regular visits help maintain optimal oral health and prevent costly emergencies.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of your smile through teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and bonding. These treatments address discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment, boosting confidence with natural-looking results tailored to individual aesthetics.
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth with titanium posts fused to the jawbone. This option preserves bone structure and provides stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring full functionality and appearance.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps anxious patients receive care comfortably through oral medications. We guide patients through pre-visit preparation, in-office monitoring, and post-treatment recovery to ensure a stress-free experience while maintaining safety and effectiveness.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Our sleep apnea treatment addresses obstructive breathing during sleep using custom oral appliances. These devices reposition the jaw to keep airways open, improving sleep quality and reducing health risks associated with untreated apnea.

Dr. Bobak is amazing! If I could submit pictures I definitely would. But, to explain my situation, I had very uneven teeth and my front 2 were chipped and had a decent sized gap. There was also some spacing and unevenness on the two next to my front teeth. I have always been SUPER insecure with how they looked so I never smiled much. But he fixed them with bonding and they look like I just had braces taken off! He's also very nice and gentle! I definitely recommend him!

It took about 5 months to for them to finally submit my insurance correctly. I had to call the insurance and do their job for them to tell them how to correctly bill my insurance and they still couldn't figure it out. They wanted my husband's social security number when the plan ID was clearly on the card. Sounded like they were trying to get both money from the insurance claim and money from me as well. Will not be going back.

I just wanted to send a Huge thank you to the staff and Doctors of Lockport Dental Group! My fiance Dan needed to get in as a new patient emergency and was given the option to come in within an hour of calling.this was the first sign of a great dentist office concerned for a patients well being. It didn't stop there. Dr Mitchell made Dan as comfortable as can be. He gave him options and then assured him by going forth, doing a great job and the best quality dentistry he could do in the situation he was given to help Dan out.
I myself, have worked in the dental field for over 15 years and am living out of town at the moment, so knowing that Dan and our family is in good hands over at Lockport Dental Group is very reassuring. Thank you so much for all your help and making me proud to say good dentists are still very much out there!

Only complaint is that they live in the dark ages when it comes to doing anything digital. I once asked if I could submit my insurance information via email and the woman on the phone acted like I just discovered fire or the wheel.

I love Lockport dental. Dr. Gerhard is wonderful. I finally found a dentist that I feel comfortable to work on teeth. He did such a wonderful job that I told a family member and now that person has told 3 people about.
