Complete dental care from A to Z
Extend the natural life of your teeth and maintain good oral health with routine dental care. Regular visits to your dentist and quick intervention at the earliest sign of decay will save you from pain, discomfort and unexpected expenses. If your teeth, gums or oral health are causing problems for you, restorative dental care will put you back on the right track and make your mouth feel normal again. General dentistry puts your overall health first. Here are some of the results you can expect from preventative and restorative care:
- Super clean teeth that look whiter without whitening.
- Xrays that detect problems while they’re still small.
- Healthy gums that don’t itch or bleed.
- Composite fillings that halt cavities in their tracks.
- Less sensitivity from hot and cold foods.
- Reverse and prevent tooth decay.
- Extend the life of prosthetics and appliances.
Preventative Care:
- Save your natural tooth from an infection
- Replace missing teeth with a natural-looking solution
- Repair damaged teeth to like-new condition
- Custom-made prosthetics and appliances
- Eat easier, sleep better and enjoy an enhanced quality of life.

Our General Dentistry services
Composite Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings fill cavities to stop them from getting bigger or permanently damaging your tooth. These white fillings are matched to your natural teeth so they look and feel great.
Dental Bonding
Whether you need to fix chips and cracks or simply improve the look of your healthy teeth, dental bonding offers a versatile solution.
Dental Bridges
Permanently fill the gaps and replace missing teeth with a custom-made dental prosthesis securely bonded in place.
Dental Crowns
Enhancing both the strength and appearance of your teeth, dental crowns are a vital component of restorative dentistry.
Dental Extractions
Tooth extraction is a frequently performed procedure, typically causing minimal pain or discomfort.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a transformative solution for missing teeth, offering a natural look and feel. An implant acts as a substitute for a tooth root and is finished with a custom dental crown, ensuring your smile looks and functions like your natural teeth.
Dentures
Whether you need new dentures or require maintenance and repairs for your current set, dentures offer a reliable and natural-looking solution for replacing several or all of your teeth. Modern dental prostheses are designed to provide comfort and functionality with minimal discomfort.
Root Canal
A root canal can be a quick, careful, and relatively pain-free procedure that brings you immediate relief while saving your natural tooth. At our practice in Baton Rouge, we prioritize your comfort and oral health, making root canal therapy an effective solution to preserve your smile and prevent further complications.
Teeth Cleanings
Regular teeth cleanings and checkups are essential for preventing gum disease, tooth decay, and unexpected dental pain. Schedule your dental checkup every 6 to 8 months to avoid costly treatments and maintain a healthy smile.
The importance of early intervention and routine care
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We really want to see you smile. Your health is our top priority and our routine care and recommendations for early intervention come from a place of care and concern. Keeping your teeth, gums, jaw and tongue healthy right now and repairing problems when they first appear will mean much less discomfort and pain and fewer unexpected expenses for you. And that is what keeps our patients smiling.
Keep your natural teeth for longer
Did you know the most common causes of tooth loss are cavities for young adults and gum disease in older adults? Practicing good oral hygiene habits at home is a great way to keep your mouth strong and healthy and at your routine exam, we can detect the earliest signs of gum disease and tooth decay and intervene before they get worse.
Save your money
Routine teeth cleaning and exams are relatively low-cost and predictable expenses that can fit in a budget. Treatments for the earliest signs of tooth decay, such as composite fillings, also happen to be relatively low-cost and a good long-term investment. More drastic procedures needed to repair more serious health issues often come with a bigger price tag.
Don’t even think about it
One of the greatest things about optimal oral health is that you don’t even think about it at all. There are no aches or inflammation. No all-consuming toothache. You don’t have to worry about the food you want to eat or feel self-conscious about your smile. Well maintained teeth are naturally beautiful, comfortable and reliable.
