Family & Cosmetic Dentistry - Timothy J Loughran

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.
