What Services Are Available at Lovett Humble Dental Office?
General Dentistry
General dentistry is simply the care and cleaning of your teeth, mouth, and gums. General dentistry concentrates more on preventive medicine than some specialty services do, though Lovett Dental Humble also offers a comprehensive list of specialty dental services as well.
Your general dentist is typically the primary care provider who oversees your family’s oral health. This includes such tasks as:
- Educating patients on good oral health habits
- Performing regular dental cleanings
- Diagnosing oral issues
- Interpreting diagnostic tests
- TMJ treatment
- Monitoring the development and growth of teeth and jawbone
- Devising treatment plans when needed
These are a few of the routine tasks your general dentist performs on a given day. Without routine cleanings and exams, your family’s teeth would be less bright, less white, and less sparkling. If you’re in need of general dentistry, call Lovett Dental Humble today.
Preventative Dentistry
The goal of preventative dentistry services is to minimize the risk of developing complex dental health problems down the road. Many potential problems can occur, and there’s no way to know if they will. However, with a few simple steps, we can minimize the risk to your gums, teeth, and dental health overall.
You may already be engaging in some basic forms of preventative dental care. For example, when you come in every six months to our Texas office, you are getting some level of care in terms of general cleaning and X-rays. This is an essential part of preventing the onset of problems later. Even brushing and flossing every day helps.
Yet, our preventive dentistry services go further. They provide you with exceptional support as we work to minimize some of the biggest problems our patients often have. We may recommend one or more preventative dentistry services to you to help minimize some risk factors you have.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dentistry services are designed to provide you with the level of care and support you need. When you come in for a consultation at our office in Texas, we’ll discuss the structures in your mouth and the options available to repair them. Many times, dental restoration can help with things such as:
- Reducing discomfort
- Replacing missing teeth
- Minimizing damage to other teeth
- Limiting the risk of teeth crowding
- Managing discoloration
Each one of our services is customizable to fit your needs. That means that we can solve most types of problems related to gaps, missing teeth, damaged tooth exteriors, and discoloration with a range of solutions.
Emergency Dental Services
If your gums hurt or begin to swell, see your dentist right away because gum pain or swelling can be symptoms of an abscess (infection) that forms in gum tissue or a tooth’s root. There are many reasons why gums can swell, become painful, or abscess. The only way to identify the underlying cause is a thorough exam by your dentist.
If you are experiencing anything that might constitute an emergency — or if you are looking for top-notch dental care in general — reach out to Lovett Dental Humble online or call us.
Anxiety & Sleep Dentistry
One of the reasons you may have to turn to a sedation dentist is because you have dental anxiety or phobias. This is not uncommon, but it should not stop you from maintaining your oral health. It is important to see your dentist at least one time every six months. If you are not doing so because of this anxiety, let our sedation dentist help you.
Dental anxiety happens for many reasons. Sedation may be an option for people who have:
- A low pain tolerance level
- Sensitive teeth
- Significant damage requiring oral surgical procedures
- A phobia or fear of the dentist
- A bad gag reflex
In these situations, we encourage you to come in for an appointment. Let us know in advance of your appointment if you have dental anxiety. We can then offer a solution that is right for you.
Root Canals
You may cringe at the thought of a root canal, but rest assured, getting a root canal treatment today is largely different than the painful procedure feared by dental patients in the past. At Lovett Dental Humble, our general dental team is here to help you through every step of the root canal treatment process.
When the procedure is finished, your tooth will look the same as before. You’ll likely notice that you were experiencing tooth pain before your root canal procedure is completely gone.
It’s normal to experience some soreness after a root canal, even for a few days after the procedure. It’s highly unlikely that this pain will compare to the pain you felt before your procedure. Your dentist will talk with you about normal root canal recovery symptoms, as well as symptoms that are cause for concern.
Your dentist will give you aftercare instructions to help the area heal.
Family Dentistry
Filling and sealants help prevent cavities from going deeper. And while we try to avoid tooth extractions, they’re helpful and necessary when the tooth has severe decay or when gum disease threatens oral health. Accidental injuries and impacted or overcrowded teeth are also reasons for tooth extractions.
Our general family dentistry services include safe and effective root canal treatments by a highly-skilled endodontist when you experience a cracked tooth, deep decay, or problems from a previous filling.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Here at Lovett Dental Humble, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry as well as general dentistry services. We take pride in being able to provide patients of all ages with dental treatments. This includes using cosmetic services for maintaining the look of your smile. From teeth whitening services to dental bonding, we have dental services that you want and need. Start your services today and get cosmetic dental treatments that meet your budget and expectations.
Dental Bonding
It’s not uncommon for a person to chip a tooth when biting into a hard candy. Others might crack a tooth while playing sports or after being in an accident. These situations hurt physically, but they can also change your smile. However, if a cracked or chipped tooth has made you feel less confident, dental bonding can help. If you are considering the benefits of dental bonding, reach out to our team at Lovett Dental Humble today.
If you believe that dental bonding is the right treatment for you, schedule an appointment with our team. We can then provide a full examination of your tooth and offer recommendations. Often, this process of repairing your damaged teeth is done in one appointment.
Teeth Whitening
When you schedule an appointment for teeth whitening, you are doing more than just removing stains from the surface of your teeth. Our dental services are tailored to provide you with customized whitening that is specific to your dental needs. Some of the substances that can contribute to teeth discoloration include:
- Coffee
- Tea
- Soda
- Tobacco
- Wine
Additionally, poor oral care habits can cause your teeth to be dull. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and whitening toothpaste as part of your daily routine can keep your teeth white without damaging your enamel.
Let our dental health care provide you with teeth whitening solutions that can be done at your convenience. This includes a speedy at-home teeth whitening system, which allows you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home. However, we also have the capacity to provide teeth whitening services right here in our office. Let us help you make the decision on how you want to whiten your teeth.
Implants & Smile Makeover
Missing teeth can cause jawbone shrinkage and gum recession. Likewise, surrounding teeth can weaken on either side, causing risks to adjacent teeth, including plaque buildup and tooth decay. Also, problems with chewing can result in associated nutritional complications. When you don’t chew your food completely, you can develop digestive problems.
Dental implant services involving a single tooth replacement are usually a same-day process. If the replacement is for an extracted tooth, the dentist can likewise perform the implant procedure immediately after the tooth is extracted.
Veneers
If you’ve avoided smiling around other people, it might be time to think about getting dental veneers. These veneers can correct different kinds of dental problems that can affect your smile, such as:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Teeth that are too short
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
Dental veneers adhere to your teeth and act as a covering or outside layer. These veneers, which are usually made from composite resin or porcelain, look like natural teeth. This natural appearance means that other people won’t be able to tell that you have them. Instead, you’ll have a smile that you can be proud of showing.
Dentures
With so many advanced dental treatments to choose from, it can be hard to decide between dentures, implants, and other options. The populations most likely to benefit from dentures in particular include:
- Anyone missing between 20% and 100% of their teeth
- Children and teens who have lost some of their permanent teeth but need to wait for their jaws to develop to consider dental implants
- Patients who experienced advanced periodontitis or cancer of the jaw, which can degrade the bone tissue so much it can’t support implants
- People who are interested in dental implants but need to save up the money and want a temporary solution while they wait
Pediatric Dentistry
At Lovett Dental Humble, we want to help your little one develop proper dental health habits early on. Our pediatric dentistry specialists and our friendly team love each little smile that comes through our door, and it’s our goal to create a fun, educational, and comforting experience that positively affects the way your child feels about visiting the dentist.
It is always our goal to create healthy, happy smiles for each and every patient we see. We believe that a healthy mouth leads to a healthy body and a healthy life!
Specialist Services
Like any kind of medical care, dentistry consists of a primary care provider and a series of specialists that focus on treating certain diseases or performing specific procedures. Ideally, you can get most of these services in one full-service dental office.
At Lovett Dental Humble, we offer a wide range of dental specialties so that you can make an appointment at just one practice. Our various providers collaborate to create an overall treatment plan that will give you a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile. Our team is ready to provide orthodontic services in Houston for you and your entire family.
Orthodontics
Not everyone will need to work with an orthodontist. However, more people do than you may realize. Our goal at Lovett Dental Humble is to provide services that you need that could improve your oral health and smile. Orthodontic services can often do that if you have:
- Misaligned teeth
- An overbite
- An underbite
- Teeth that overlap each other
- Gaps in your teeth
In these situations, our orthodontic services will provide you with opportunities to fix the underlying cause of the problem. For many people, this means the use of dental braces.

Periodontics is a specialized form of dentistry that focuses on gum and jawbone health. Though our periodontists provide other types of procedures as well, their main focus is on helping people with periodontal diseases. If you’ve been told you have moderate to severe gum disease, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our periodontics team.
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is performed by a licensed and trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon. To become this type of surgeon, a person must complete four years of dental school and then graduate. After doing so, there are years spent working in a hospital-based residency program to gain hands-on experience. These professionals train right alongside those in general surgery, anesthesia, and internal medicine. These professionals then spend time in areas such as emergency medicine, plastic surgery, and ear, nose, and throat. At Lovett Dental Humble, our dentists maintain the proper licensing and association recognition to provide oral surgery to our clients.
