What Services Are Available at Lovett Sharpstown Dental Office?
General Dentistry
Dental pain and related problems are among the most common reasons for emergency room visits, with more than 2 million adults visiting an ER in 2010 for dental problems. While general dentistry can help prevent many dental issues, neglecting even minor issues like tooth decay can lead to complications and pain.
Dental problems are one of the leading causes of missed workdays in the United States. Overall, Americans lose more than 320 million hours of work and school every year due to planned and unplanned dental issues. Adults who neglect their dental care or fail to practice proper oral hygiene are far more likely to miss work or school time due to dental problems.
General dentistry can offer services including:
- Annual and biannual appointments
- Routine fluoride treatments
- Dentures
- Cavity fillings
- Teeth cleanings
General dentistry is the best way to ensure that your dental health is optimal. During annual or biannual appointments, a general dentist will perform x-rays to ensure that you don’t show signs of tooth decay or gum disease. General dentistry also includes cleanings, which can help flush out any trapped bacteria or food particles built up in tough to reach spots.
Preventative Dentistry
At Lovett Dental Sharpstown, we provide preventative dentistry services to promote healthy teeth and gums for our clients. Most insurance coverage pays for preventative dental care, as carriers realize it helps prevent more severe conditions that cost much more than regular checkups and cleanings. Subsequently, we offer a number of preventative dentistry options at our office in Sharpstown, Texas.
When you visit one of one general or specialty dental practitioners, you receive several services that help prevent cavities and detect problems with your teeth as early as possible. Our diagnostic services include X-rays, checkups, and the following services:

Restorative Dentistry
Do you have a cavity, cracked tooth, or gaps from missing teeth? Restorative dentistry services may be able to help. Restorative dentistry refers to procedures used to fix or replace teeth, and the experienced dental professionals at Lovett Dental Sharpstown in Texas can restore your appearance and preserve the functionality of your teeth.
Restorative dentistry services bring the following benefits to our clients:
- Improved functionality: Instead of pain and discomfort from damaged teeth, restored teeth allow you to eat and speak comfortably and improve dental health.
- Reduced pain: Cavities and infected teeth can cause severe pain. Let us alleviate your pain with the appropriate dental care.
- Improved appearance: Smile with pride and celebrate freedom from pain with restorative dentistry at Lovett Dental Sharpstown in Texas. Missing teeth cause changes in the structure of your face. Crowns, bridges, and implants help restore your appearance.
- Retain bone density: When a tooth goes missing due to extraction or injury, the underlying jawbone weakens. We can replace the missing tooth with a dental implant to preserve bone density.

Pediatric Dentistry
Lovett Dental Sharpstown is a family dental practice that specializes in helping you and your child learn how to properly practice oral hygiene. Children can experience things like tooth decay, plaque, and tartar, even if they don’t yet have their adult teeth. Teaching your child how to brush and floss their teeth at an early age is a great way to prevent potential issues from developing.
Children under the age of six should brush their teeth at least twice a day. Mutans streptococcus is a type of germ and bacteria that feeds off of sugar and releases acids that deplete calcium in teeth, which can cause tooth decay. Early dental care from a Sharpstown, TX, family dentist is essential from an early age, as nearly 40% of children ages 2 to 5 have at least one cavity.
Specialist Services
Specialty dentistry services are often needed after relatively minor issues are left unaddressed or neglected. Things like untreated cavities, which more than 1 in every 4 adults in the United States have, can lead to complications such as infections and gum disease.
While regular dental visits are vital to maintaining proper dental health, the majority of American adults have seen a dentist in the past year. It is recommended that you visit your dentist at least once per year. Waiting to see your dentist until you start experiencing symptoms, such as mouth pain, can lead to serious issues. In fact, 15% of people in the United States made their most recent dental appointment because they experienced mouth pain. If you are experiencing mouth pain, don’t put off a dental appointment any longer. Contact Lovett Dental Sharpstown, where we have a wide range of specialty dental services so you’ll be comfortable throughout your visit.
