According to patients of Dr. Lovan there's not really a need to worry – they insist that the expert, gentle techniques and familiar hometown atmosphere at Prairie Street Family Dentistry always put them at ease.
I hate dentists, but I have to admit,
I really like Dr. Lovan.
I have had a few really bad experiences
with dentists and just refused to go.
Eventually my wife insisted I go to
Prairie Street Family Dentistry
for a filling for a really bad cavity.
I was actually blown away.
It was fast, inexpensive and PAINLESS!
Dr. Tod Lovan is the best!
Thank you!!!

TEETH EXTRACTIONS
by PRAIRIE STREET FAMILY DETISTRY
Mouth pain can be a real headache! Many ailments can actually be caused by problem teeth, including infections and even gum disease. Your health and comfort can be quickly restored by the removal or extraction of those teeth. With pain-free techniques and restorative technology Dr. Lovan and his Prairie Street Family Dentistry staff have helped many patients through the extraction of bad teeth without pain and worry that is often associated with teeth extractions. Many Prairie Street Family Dentistry patients that have had teeth extracted by Dr. Tod, swear that afterward they not only feel better they look better.
I am still amazed that I waited
so long to have one of my teeth extracted.
It gave me severe pain
for months but I was afraid of
worse pain by having it pulled...
or what I might look like without the tooth.
Dr. Tod extracted the tooth
with virtually no pain and then
put in a crown.
Now, not only do I feel like a new person,
I look like a new person!
