Dr. Bruce Lockhart DDS, amassing over 35 years in dentistry experience, started his practice in 1988. Growing up, Dr. Lockhart originally sought out a degree in medicine until I had my front teeth broken while playing ice hockey. From there, he decided to make dentistry his lifes work when his teeth were restored, and he could smile again. In that instant, I felt whole again. Dr. Lockhart graduated from Purdue University in 1981 with a B.S. in biology - and later earning his D.D.S. Degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry. Dr. Lockhart is part of the following dental societies:
Dr. Blakley's grandfather started the beginning of what is now known as Blakley Corporation. He is the youngest of five siblings and his mom always dreamed that one of her children would become a doctor - Benjamin was her last hope! Unfortunately, she passed away when he started high school and it became his goal from then on to fulfill his mother's dream.Dr. Blakley is from an engineering family, but it turned out to be the perfect fit for dentistry as well.
Dr. Blakley has lived locally his whole life. He attended Fall Creek Elementary and Eastwood Jr. High and graduated high school from North Central. He went on to attend college at IU Bloomington. Dr Blakley graduated IU School of Dentistry in 1980 and did further dental training at Midwest Implant Institute later on in his career.
Dr. Blakley's hobbies, outside of dentistry, include golfing, gardening, swimming and spending time with his family. He and his wife have two sons who are both married with three beautiful grandchildren.

I'm a new patient and from the very first visit, my experience has been nothing short of amazing. I received a tour of the office during my initial visit which made me feel very comfortable and I was introduced to staff members. The dental work I received has to be the most gentle I have ever had. For the first time that I can recall, I don't dread going to the dentist. Great service from start to finish.

The Lockhart Dentistry office is easy to get to, with parking just a few feet away from the front door, making it very accessible for physically challenged and/or the elderly. Very nice waiting room. I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in the door. The Staff is very professional and took time to explain everything that was going to happen. They have the up-to-date, state-of-the-art equipment. I was saddened to learn Dr. Blakley who has been my dentist for over twenty years will be retiring soon. I met Dr. Lockhart for a consultation regarding my care and feel very confident in his suggestions.
