Services Offered
At the Office of Dr. Dan Lovely, DDS, we offer a comprehensive range of dental services to meet the needs of our patients. These services include:
- Exams and X-rays: Regular oral exams are essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. We recommend routine oral exams every six to twelve months, depending on your individual needs. X-rays are an important part of a comprehensive oral exam, as they allow us to properly diagnose decay and other dental issues. We use the latest digital technology to ensure that your x-rays are of the highest quality.
- Cleanings: Our office offers tailored cleanings to meet the unique needs of each patient. Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other health issues, so it is important to maintain good oral health. If our qualified clinicians diagnose symptoms of gum disease, we will work with you to develop a plan to improve your gum health.
- Fillings: We only use high-quality tooth-colored filling materials to ensure natural-looking, durable results. If you have silver-colored fillings that you would like to replace with more aesthetic composite fillings, we can help.
- Crowns and Bridges: Crowns (or caps) and bridges are common ways to repair damaged teeth. If a tooth is too weak to support a filling, a crown may be the best option. A bridge is used to close a gap where you are missing a tooth. It is permanently glued in place.
- Extractions: In some cases, extraction (complete removal of a tooth) may be necessary due to gum disease or decay. With his years of experience, Dr. Lovely can quickly and painlessly remove a problematic tooth. Some extractions may be referred to oral surgeons based on the diagnosis and anatomy.
- Root Canals: A root canal can be the best way to save a tooth and keep you from experiencing lingering pain. Root canals are often recommended when there is infection, pain, or severe decay. A root canal can often be completed in a single appointment. Some teeth may need to be referred to a root canal specialist (endodontist).
Payment Plans
We understand that dental care can be a significant investment, and we are committed to making our services as accessible as possible. That's why we offer payment plans through CareCredit. We also offer free second opinions, so don't hesitate to bring your x-rays and request a consultation with Dr. Lovely.
