Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  A child's first visit to our Hoffman Estates dental office will involve an examination and cleaning, if possible. At this appointment, Dr. Lovda will assess if your child is at risk for developing tooth decay, monitor growth, and establish a pleasant atmosphere for your child to remember for all future appointments. Positive first impressions are key!
• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Your child should visit Lovda Family Dental every six months for regular dental cleanings and checkups. We recommend fluoride treatments twice a year along with cleanings to keep teeth their strongest. Tooth sealants are also recommended because they “seal” the deep grooves in your child’s teeth, preventing decay from forming in these hard-to-reach areas. Sealants last for several years, but will be monitored at your child’s regular checkups.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Tooth bonding can also be used for teeth fillings instead of amalgam fillings. Many patients prefer bonded fillings because the white color is much less noticeable than the silver amalgam fillings. Bonding fillings can be used on front and back teeth depending on the location and extent of tooth decay.
• Resin Composite
  Newer dental fillings include ceramic and plastic compounds that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. These compounds, often called composite resins, are usually used on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important, but they can also be used on the back teeth depending on the location and extent of the tooth decay.
• Veneers
  “Without a doubt the best people ever to have taken care of your teeth. Dr. Lovda did my veneers years ago and I still get compliments today that I have a smile worthy of a newscaster (or at least a part-time weatherman). My veneers are still in perfect shape 14 years later. Not only do they do fantastic work, the whole office is the NICEST. On top of that, they’ve got a killer magazine selection. Trust me when I say you won’t want anyone else to take care of your teeth.” – Tim S.
• Crowns
  “I was referred to their office today by some good friends and I would give them top praises. I had the younger dentist and he was excellent. I even got a follow up call tonight which I’ve never had in my 50 something years of dentistry. I no longer have dental insurance, but I felt that their prices were very fair for a crown and they do it all in one day which was awesome!” – Karie M.
• Bridges
  Patients may be a good candidate for a fixed dental bridge if one or more teeth in a row are missing. The abutment teeth need to be healthy enough to support the bridge, free of serious decay, and have strong roots. An exam by Dr. Lovda to evaluate your smile is very important since every patient’s dental needs are unique. No two patients are alike—and no two smiles—are alike.
• Dental Bonding
  Bonding is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling “bonds” with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Do I need a root canal? This is a question many ask who start feeling a toothache.  The answer to this question is maybe, and is determined by many factors.  Firstly, visiting Dr. Lovda at his Hoffman Estates, IL dentist office is highly recommended for a thorough oral evaluation.  Starting with an xray of the area of discomfort, Dr. Lovda will ask a series of questions related to the length of time the tooth has been hurting, what triggers the discomfort, and if there is any inflammation present. Dr. Lovda and his team at Lovda Family Dental will then recommend treatment, if needed, once a diagnosis is made.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentistry is all about smiles, and having a confident, healthy, beautiful smile is important even for patients wearing dentures. Our practice provides personalized denture services that meet the needs and comfort levels of our patients. All of our patients are unique and we create one-of-a-kind dentures that feel good and look natural.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants require daily brushing and flossing to ensure a smile is looking and feeling its best. Much like natural teeth, gum disease and infections can occur around dental implants, shortening their lifespan. Proper home care, such as daily brushing and flossing, as well as visiting our Hoffman Estates dental office for six-month checkups, is critical for maintaining the health and longevity of dental implants.
