After operating a general dentistry practice for 10 years, Dr. Locklear decided to create Life-Enhancing dentistry to fulfill on her personal mission to significantly enhance the quality of her patients' lives in a way that is meaningful and lasting. Today she practices Comprehensive Dentistry, a method that allows her to provide ideal, long-term care for her patients through the application of restorative, cosmetic, orthodontic, neuromuscular and orthopedic dentistry.
Neuromuscular Dentistry is an emerging field of dentistry that uses the proper alignment of the facial muscles as the basis for treatment. Orthopedic Dentistry uses the ideal "bite" to restore structural and postural balance to the body. Together, these methodologies help to alleviate such conditions as migraine and headaches, back, shoulder and neck pain, ringing in the ears, vertigo, teeth grinding and clenching and many different types of facial pain, and can significantly improve posture through the whole skeletal structure.
