Continuing CareWe treat your dental needs as a complete entity. Your gums and supporting bone are paramount in the maintenance of good oral health. We have made a commitment to developing an oral hygiene program that accomplishes these long-term, continuing goals.
Regular preventative care is a wise investment that is easier and less costly than delayed treatment, which can often lead to emergency treatments. We encourage regular maintenance care visits, which also include oral cancer screenings and detection of cavities and gum problems.
Payment for services is due at the time dental treatment is provided. If treatment requires multiple visits, a mutually-satisfactory payment schedule will be arranged. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover Card, American Express and Care Credit as forms of payment.
InsuranceDental insurance is intended to cover a portion of your dental treatment. The amount of coverage depends on the individual contract of your employer or union. In most cases you are responsible for a deductible and the portion of the fee not covered by your contract.
Our trained staff will help you complete and submit all necessary claim forms and answer any questions that may arise. Please bring pertinent insurance information and forms with you at the time of your first visit.

Dr. Shaw, Dr. Retell and their staff make Lockport Dental the number one dentist office in the area. It's always a clean, comfortable environment. I've been a patient for over ten years, with many more to come. Highly recommend!

I have been coming to this dentist office for over 30 years and my teeth are in great condition. I view that as a job well done! The staff are very friendly and professional. They have never been pushy with me for extra procedures or other things. They do a terrific job explaining anything I have a question about in a way that I can understand. I have twin daughters and they will be going here starting this summer.

I have been going here for 24 years. My appointments have always been on time, I don't remember ever having to wait. Felt safe during Covid-times appointments. They put effort into making procedures as painless as possible- can barely feel a Novocaine shot from Dr. Retell. Technology is kept up to date; can see your x-rays on a monitor the moment they take them. If you are looking for a spot with veneers experience this is it; I've had mine 6 years with no issues.

Dr. Retell is an amazing dentist! I just had a root canal in less than an hour, and had absolutely no pain throughout the entire procedure, not even the novocaine! The staff is wonderful, and I can't recommend this place enough. They get you an appointment quickly, and like I said, no pain whatsoever.

I highly recommend Lockport Dental Group. The dentists and all members of the staff are professional, courteous and caring. Dr. Shaw has a sign that says: "We Cater to Cowards", and he does! I recently had a dental cleaning and was impressed with the many new precautions they have implemented to keep everyone healthy at this time. The office was very sterile, yet felt very comfortable.
