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:
Approximately 4:45 p.m., a crown came completely out. I immediately called Dr. Lockharts office to see if he was available. He was so 15 minutes later; I walked into his office. I was seen immediately; the tooth was prepped and recemented. Less than a half-hour after the tooth came out, it was back in, and I was on my way to the Pacer game. Great job!I am never disappointed with Dr. Lockharts service. I have been seeing him for my dental care for a few years now and it seems that my dental health has only improved since I began seeing him. I value how straight forward and honest he is with his patients. I would recommend him to everyone!Jessica C.Everyone is professional and so friendly. They take the time to explain the procedures, and make you feel very comfortable in a very relaxed atmosphere. If you dont like going to a dentist for whatever reason, I suggest you try Dr. Lockhart!Linda A.At the doctors recommendation, an old silver filling was replaced with enamel. This accomplished two things. It provided an opportunity to assess the health of the tooth-as it is a deep and old filling. And secondly it improved the visual of the mouth by having a filling material which blends with the tooth color. Though no further care is needed at this time, it is valuable to know what may be necessary going forward which eliminates the dreaded element of surprise in dental care. Dr. Lockhart and his staff create a comfortable, caring environment which puts the patient at ease while undergoing what might otherwise be an anxiety filled procedure. All aspects of the office visit were professional, efficient and most important of all painless.Karen P.Great environment, courteous friendly and professional staff. I look forward to my dental visits because Danelle is welcoming and focused on my dental health and Dr Lockhart is always attentive and clear in his care and explanations.Joseph O.Above and beyond! Our son broke off a tooth on A Tuesday evening. Dr. Lockhart and his staff are not scheduled to be in the office on Wednesdays. We nevertheless called the emergency number he provided first thing Wednesday morning. Dr. Lockhart promptly returned our call and we made arrangements to meet at the office. Dr. Lockhart was very thorough with his examination. He and McKenzie took great care of our son and got him fixed up. Always the highest level of care and customer service. THANK YOU!Heather B.I highly recommend Lockhart Dentistry to all my friends. After 30 years I finally made the decision to get crowns and braces. In less then 6 months, my treatment is over and I can smile with confidence. Thank you Dr. Lockhart, and your wonderful staff. I truly wonder why I waited so long!Anne M.Best Long Term Dental Care.
