Having always aspired to enjoy life and family while creating lasting friendships and serving her community, Dr. Lockett herself needed orthodontic treatment as a young child, which further fueled her interest in the field of dentistry.

As a dental hygienist, she was able to forge connections with patients while also teaching them the values of proper dental hygiene and how it relates to overall health. She was then able to practice as a dentist and provide complete dental care to her patients.

They utilize the most advanced procedures and equipment available to ensure that every patient achieves a healthy and beautiful smile. 

Community service is an important aspect of Dr. Lockett’s personal life. Mentoring youth, promoting health awareness, and uplifting the Colorado Springs community is her passion.
