And, as technology moves forward, so does our approach to treatment at Tim Loughran Dentistry. For example, in the middle 1980's we began offering a then-revolutionary self-help protocol to patients with gum disease so tooth loss was not inevitable. Also about that same time, we began restoring front teeth simply to improve their appearance in the smile.
Timothy Loughran, DDS, grew up in Centralia. Dr. Loughran graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Science degree. Then, he received his dental education and degree from Loyola University School of Dentistry in Chicago. In 1989, Dr. Loughran earned the status Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry.
All fees for services performed in our office are fully explained at the time appointment commitments are made. We are proud of our fees and believe they compare favorably with fees of similar dental practices in the Marion-to-Carbondale area. We cannot know what the quality of service a particular fee would garner you in any other office, but we always know what advantages and benefits you will receive from us. If value is important to you, please consider these general features of our practice when price-shopping for dental services.
Cavities in our children's teeth are caused by the sticky snacks they eat and sugar in the liquids they drink. Infants go to sleep with juice or milk in sip-cups. Preschoolers get sweet treats as rewards, and who-knows-what at the grandparent's house. Grade-schoolers have colas and candy on demand.

The team at Tim Loughran Dentistry makes teeth cleaning an enjoyable experience. They have been cleaning and working on my teeth for close to 30 years. The staff is very friendly and flexible to work me and my family in when things come up. They have also been great when bring my kids in for cleanings or fillings for the first time. I always feel that I receive a thorough cleaning and that the team has my best interest in mind when taking care of my oral health.

Dr. Loughran and his staff are the best! They are friendly, professional, and give 100% to their patients. I felt comfortable and trusted their opinions on what services I needed for good dental health. They are not trying to create more expense than necessary, which I appreciated. I would highly recommend!

One of the benefits of moving back home after a decade living in another state is resuming care with trusted professionals. Dr. Loughran is a superb dentist. He always has the best team of professionals working with him. So glad he has remained in practice!

I just want to say that this is a first class operation. I always feared the dentist but after going here I have no fear anymore. The ladies from the front door and all the way back are a CLASS ACT. Dr. Loughran is the best I've experienced! I tip my hat to the whole crew. Well done! Thanks for making this guy at ease. Thanks, Jim

We relocated to the area and were looking for a new family dentist. My brother is a dentist and suggested we look for one who has done extensive continuing education and training. He recommended Dr. Loughran. My experience in the office has been excellent, and I would highly recommend the practice. Although we live in Makanda, it is worth making the trip to Herrin.

They did a good job. I liked the x-ray and getting to see the images of my teeth. The chair was comfortable and the cotton candy flavor of the fluoride was actually really good.
