Our Practice History
About Tim Loughran Dentistry

Herrin Dentist, Tim Loughran’s goal is “helping clients enjoy their teeth for a lifetime” And that means providing dental therapies that are appropriate for any age. 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.

Then, in the early 1990’s we began routinely viewing back teeth with the magnified image from an intraoral camera. This was done so that problems could be detected before toothache was evident.

In 1995, we stopped using dental amalgam. Metal fillings were found to be more damaging to teeth than metal-free fillings. Therefore, we switched to the modern metal-free alternative. In 2001, we made a major leap to the hydrokinetic laser. This enabled treatment to be more conservative and comfortable.

After that, 2006 was the year we began placing dental implants surgically to replace missing teeth and to anchor loose dentures. In 2006, we started using digital radiographs. Patients could see them on a television screen. This allowed them to understand the procedure from our point of view.

Tim Loughran Dentistry is dedicated to progress. We are grateful to have served the Southern Illinois community for many years as your local Herrin dentist. We cherish the opportunity to care for our community daily. Thank you for your continued support, and thank you for letting us help the people of Southern Illinois keep their forever teeth. 

We have invested in high-tech capabilities and have made patient-centered objectives a priority. This shows our commitment to providing excellent dental care for you and your family. As a result, our practice at Tim Loughran Dentistry continues a proven tradition of “helping clients enjoy their teeth for a lifetime.”
