Dr. Lochtefeld was born and raised in Northern Ohio where he graduated from Lexington High school in 2006. Upon graduation, Michael attended the University of Akron where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Biology.
As an enormous Buckeyes fan, Michael then fulfilled his academic dream by choosing to attend The Ohio State University where he completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. While at OSU Michael was chosen as student dentist to the Ohio State Athletic Department. During this time, he was responsible for handling the routine and traumatic needs of OSUs athletes and made MANY mouth guards for their use on the field.
Dr. Lochtefeld began working at this office location in April of 2017 after moving back to Ohio from South Carolina. In October of 2019, Dr. Lochtefeld decided to make this office his dental home, as he had grown close to his patients being the only doctor working at this location for nearly 3 years. He purchased the practice from Dayton Comprehensive Dentistry and renamed the practice Michael Lochtefeld DDS. For Michael, the best part of being a dentist is helping people look and feel their very best.
Outside of the office, Dr. Lochtefeld enjoys spending time with his wife, Caitlin, and their two adorable little girls, Helena and Catherine. Cheering for the Buckeyes, getting out on the golf course and reading a good book top his list of personal hobbies.
Even though she stays busy with such a full house, she enjoys waking up early to make time for her fitness and health. She also loves family game and movie nights. Lauras favorite place in Dayton is Dorothy Lane Market.
Fran lives in Centerville and attended the Ohio State University for her dental hygiene degree. She grew up in a military family and has lived all over the U.S., but she happily settled in Ohio in 2017.She loves getting to know all of her patients well while helping them improve their oral health.
When Fran isnt brightening our patients smiles, she enjoys trying all sorts of new foods, shopping, traveling, working out and spending time with her family and friends. She loves visiting Daytons 'Catfes' (cat cafes: shops where you can get coffee and play with sweet kittens). Other than hygiene (of course), her dream job is as a flight attendant, where she could meet new people and explore so many new places.
