Dr. Martin Bockler

It was his responsibility to teach dental students the science of the oral cavity—i.e. how the teeth and the jaws relate. He taught the Anatomy of the Tempromandibular Joint, (TMJ), and how TMJ dysfunction is created and treated.

Dr. Bockler taught the “Anatomy of the Smile” showing students how to create and restore the smile to natural form and function. He has used his knowledge of the teeth, jaws and face not only to create beautiful smiles but to perform the “Dental Face Lift.” By restoring the lost distance between the upper and lower Jaws, (the “Vertical Dimension” of the mouth), he can diminish lines and creases around the mouth and create a more youthful appearance. The ability to restore “vertical dimension” to his senior patients adds an entire new dimension to the concept of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dr. Bockler is a life member of the American Dental Association and a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon the National Dental Honor Society.

Dr. Bockler is married, has two grown children and two grandchildren. He and his wife along with their dog, Fritz, and parrot, Gomez, live in Myrtle Beach. He spends his free time enjoying the beach with his family and clay target shooting.
