I have been coming to this office now for 30 yrs. I’ve had root canals, caps, implants and invisilign braces all done by Tad Lovan and his staff. Always pain free and never encountered a problem with any of the procedures. Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable, always treated great. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Did I mention that I also drive over an hour each way for my visits, that’s how great they all are.

Such a nice, friendly atmosphere at Dr. Lovan’s office. Debbie does a wonderful job coordinating and multitasking to keep everything running smoothly. And Tish is one of the best hygienists I have ever seen. A visit to this dentist is a very pleasant experience!
