Exceptional service throughout the entire practice. Always confident we are in good hands, being treated with the utmost care.
My husband and I just moved to Concord and needed a new dentist. We made an appointment with Lockney Dental and saw Dr. Tyler Lockney, who was absolutely wonderful! Everyone at the entire clinic was so very nice and professional and efficient and made us both feel totally welcomed! We also agreed that the entire visit/process was by far the most thorough and detailed visit we have ever experienced! We both most definitely highly recommend Lockney Dental practice to everyone!
My first visit was just perfect. They have a very friendly office staff and they worked me in for an emergency repair until a permanent repair can be done. Dr. Ty and Tonya took real good care of me while I was in the chair and got me all fixed up. Lockney Dental has a very clean and comfortable office and offers all the latest Dental technology. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Dr. Lockney has given me wonderful service and advice for 28 yrs. His staff is friendly and I love my hygienist, Madelyn
Unbelievable service, they were able to get me in quickly. Savannah and Maria-Elana are the best!
