Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone tissue. Our specialists use advanced imaging technology to ensure precise placement and natural-looking results. Patients benefit from improved chewing function and facial structure preservation.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC technology enables single-visit ceramic crown fabrication using digital impressions and precision milling. This eliminates traditional multiple appointments and temporary crowns. Patients receive durable, color-matched restorations in just hours.
SureSmile Aligners
SureSmile offers customized, removable aligners for discreet teeth straightening without metal brackets. Our dentists create sequential treatment plans using 3D imaging technology. Patients achieve straighter smiles with minimal impact on daily activities.
Periodontal Treatment
Comprehensive periodontal care addresses gum disease through scaling, root planing, and surgical interventions when needed. We use laser technology for minimally invasive procedures and faster healing. Treatment focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing tooth loss.
GLO Science Whitening
GLO Science technology combines light activation and hydrogen peroxide gel for professional teeth whitening. In-office treatments deliver noticeable results in 30 minutes while minimizing sensitivity. Custom take-home kits ensure long-lasting brightness.

Before Regents, I hadn't seen a dentist in an unspeakably long time. Everyone at this office was pleasant, from the front desk staff to the hygienist and the busy dentist himself. I never once felt shamed for not having a dental check up in years and was only given kind, supportive words and encouragement to come in more often. Dentists in the USA can unfortunately be very hit-or-miss, with some offices existing only to upsell and scam patients.
This is not one of those offices - all prices were clearly stated and nothing was offered that was unreasonably priced or unnecessary. If you're looking for a dentist you can trust, I recommend Regents.

Dr. Lockwood is the best. I got many dental fillings, extractions done by him and never had any issues. The staff works very efficiently and they can always get me an appointment the next day or so when I need to fix the problem asap. I moved to Bay Area but I still come back to see Dr. Lockwood.

Our family has been seeing Dr Lockwood since 1991. Going to the dentist is not everyone's favorite wish, but I always liked seeing the entire team at Regents Dental. They all feel like family now. I never considered seeing another dentist but I did see Dr Eskeland the last two trips for caps and I didn't think there could be another Dentist as qualified and as nice as Dr Lockwood but I was wrong. I feel no mater which dentist is available for my dental needs now I would be very happy.

I have Abi, my hygienist, today who was so gentle and made me so comfortable as I got my teeth cleaned - which I do feel so clean! I also got to meet Dr. Carillo, the periodontist, who examined me thoroughly and explained to me the importance of needing a graft. I'm no longer scared of getting a gum graft!

Dr. Lockwood and the hygienist Anna are the best I've ever had. Anna was so gentle it's like she has angel hands. Dr. Lockwood was very knowledgeable and cared about my teeth. I have bad teeth grinding problem, instead of telling me to just wear a night guard like every other dentist did, he checked my bite and said there's tension, and offered to adjust my bite and also the night guard I currently have. They care!
