For children and adults, the road to dental health begins with

Professional Dental Cleaning
Diagnostic X-rays
Decay screening
Screening for oral cancer and gum disease
Examine jaw and bite position
Oral health consulting
Analysis, Diagnosis, & Treatment Planning
FILLINGS
Cracks and cavities can lead to big problems like infections, chipped teeth, or tooth loss. Even small imperfections in your enamel can diminish the look of your smile. No need to worry – the expert, gentle techniques and familiar hometown atmosphere at Prairie Street Family Dentistry will put you at ease.
EXTRACTIONS
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 of those teeth. With pain-free techniques and restorative technology, you’ll look great and feel even better!
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
ROOT CANALS
The words everyone dreads, but are glad for the relief they bring! Infected teeth cause on-going pain and even danger if the infection spreads.
GUM CARE
Healthy gums are the foundation of healthy teeth. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even strokes have been linked to poor gum health. Your mouth will be healthy and happy with gentle care and helpful hints for more effective dental hygiene.
MOUTH GUARDS
Even if you’re tough, your teeth still need extra protection from flying elbows, hockey pucks, angry linemen and your grinding jaws! A comfortable, custom-fitting mouth guard can help keep your pearly whites intact. Just-right sizes are available for children and adults.
RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Your beautiful smile reflects who you are and leaves a lasting impression on others. With help from Dr. Lovan and staff, you can bring back your smile and your confidence! With professional treatments and techniques, we’ll correct common dental problems such as crooked or damaged teeth, alleviating your mouth pain and restoring your smile.
Crowns
Damaged, discolored, or oddly spaced teeth can affect your self-image as well as your mouth’s functionality. Dental crowns can correct many tooth issues, salvaging your smile and oral health. Durable and natural looking, our porcelain crowns make you feel like royalty!
Implants
Missing teeth create jaw and bite problems and can leave you feeling unattractive. Dental implants serve as “imitation teeth”, appearing and functioning just like your normal ones. The result? You’ll have a strong, healthy bite and naturally beautiful smile!
Bridges
Low self-esteem is only one result of large gaps from missing teeth. Serious problems, from infection to gum loss and more, threaten your health. Dental Bridges (fixed or, preferably, supported) literally bridge the gaps, correcting bite issues and restoring your self-confidence.
COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Without, a beautiful smile, a person’s self-confidence suffers. Broken, discolored, or worn out teeth are unattractive. With today’s affordable options, Dr. Lovan and staff can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
VENEERS
With today’s advances in dentistry, there’s no reason you can’t have that attractive grin you’ve been wanting. There are multiple solutions to fit your needs and budget. Veneers are one procedure that can correct your damaged teeth, allowing you to smile with confidence. There are opotions to choose from for veneers:
Lumineers
Ultra-thin coverage for your fairly healthy teeth, Lumineers brighten your smile, even functioning as durable, adaptable, attractive alternatives to braces.
Porcelain
For severe tooth damage, porcelain veneers reshape teeth for strong, permanent coverage. Once placed, you’ll enjoy a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Resin
Less expensive and easier to apply, composite resin veneers provide long-lasting, natural-looking protection for teeth in need of less correction.
TEETH WHITENING
What if your “pearly whites” are more like dingy gray or yellow? Coffee, tea, cigarettes, even medicines can cause dark coloring and stained teeth. Your sparkling white smile is just an office visit away! Prairie Street Family Dentistry offers treatments that brighten your teeth and bring back the beauty of your smile. Their solutions are affordable, effective, and convenient.
Minor tooth issues may benefit from the less permanent, less expensive whitening alternative known as bonding. All it takes to transform your smile is one office visit! For long-term whitening and maintenance, at-home treatments are custom made just for your mouth for a comfortable, convenient, effective solution.
INVISIBLE BRACES
Crowded or separated teeth look and feel unattractive. Crossbites, overbites or underbites cause functionality problems as well. If you’ve been avoiding the common solution of braces, Prairie Street Family Dentistry has an alternative. You can have the smile of your dreams without the pain, inconvenience, or unsightliness of traditional metal braces. Dr. Lovan offers ClearCorrect®, a high-tech, comfortable, affordable alternative to realign your teeth.
ClearCorrect invisible “braces” are virtually undetectable. Unlike traditional braces, ClearCorrect aligners are removable. No more eating restrictions… just take them out before your eat! With no wires or brackets, custom-fit ClearCorrect aligners eliminate the discomfort of traditional braces. And unlike traditional braces that can make brushing and flossing difficult, causing permanent damage, ClearCorrect easily allows proper care of your teeth.
