Our Approach to Comfortable Care

Sedation Dentistry

We want our patients to feel as comfortable as possible at our practice, which is why our dentists take a gentle approach to care and offer sedation options. With nitrous oxide and mild oral sedation, patients can feel calm during their visits with us. If you are nervous about scheduling any type of dentistry appointment, ask us how sedation can be used to alleviate your anxiety.

Advanced Tools & Same-Day Crowns

Advanced technology offers many benefits. Cone beam scanning and 3-D x-rays help us accurately diagnose dental problems so we can provide high-quality care. Our dentists also offer CEREC same-day crowns, which are more convenient for patients. Overall, the state-of-the-art technology we use enables us to provide patients with quicker, more comfortable treatment.

How to Know

It's Time to Visit the Dentist

It's Been More Than Six Months

If you have gone longer than six months without seeing a dentist, plaque and tartar can accumulate and begin to penetrate the protective enamel.

You Are Experiencing Tooth Pain

If you experience tooth pain when chewing or eating hot, cold, or sweet foods, it could be an indication of a dental problem.

You Have a Chipped, Fractured, or Broken Tooth

A broken tooth is more vulnerable to bacterial infection, and the tooth should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further dental problems.

You Are Unhappy With the Appearance of Your Smile

If you are unhappy with your dental appearance due to cosmetic issues like tooth discoloration or a health issue like a missing tooth, we can help.

Lake Area Dentistry

The dentists at our family-friendly practice use the latest technology and techniques to enhance your care. We are proud to be affiliated with the:

  • American Dental Association
  • Louisiana Dental Association
