Patients in Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C. and throughout the nation benefit from Dr. Locklear's expertise in neuromuscular and orthopedic dentistry, which helps her provide results that could not be achieved through cosmetic dental techniques alone. Neuromuscular dentistry uses the proper alignment of a patient's facial muscles as the basis for treatment. It helps patients suffering from teeth grinding, headaches, tinnitus, vertigo, facial pain and other symptoms related to TMJ dysfunction. Orthopedic dentistry uses the way the teeth fit together to impact body posture, often reducing neck, back and shoulder pain. Dr. Locklear also practices Functional Orthodontics. This entails the use of dental applicances and braces to guide the teeth into the ideal position for the body. Dr. Locklear's unique ability to combine neuromuscular, orthopedic, orthodontic and cosmetic dental techniques helps her to create gorgeous, healthy smiles.
Dr. Locklear and her professional staff at Life-Enhancing Dentistry take pride in providing exceptional care in a spa-like environment. Dr. Locklear is also the founder and Chief Executive of the Gift of a Smile Foundation, an organization that provides need-based financial resources to patients requiring comprehensive cosmetic and reconstructive dental care. Acknowledging her skill, expertise and commitment to providing quality dental care to people of diverse backgrounds, Dr. Locklear has been featured on numerous national news and radio programs.
"Dr. Locklear seems to have an artist's eye. She made my teeth exactly how I wanted them to be, and I would recommend anyone to Dr. Locklear's office. I would do it all again without hesitation." Lisa
"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!" Vicki
"All of the personnel in your office were very pleasant and helpful from the first person I spoke to on the telephone when inquiring about your service until the day I walked in and met with your staff. My experience exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend your office to anyone who was interested in the type of services you provide. From the location of your office to the overall ambience in your waiting room, to the view from the windows inside and the outside of the grounds, all added to my feeling of comfort and relaxation." T.S.
"I can't begin to thank you for the care that you've provided for me! My quality of life has improved tremendously and I owe it all to you. My chronic headaches and pain are a thing of the past and I look forward to more continual improvement." Michael
