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 replace missing teeth with a natural look and function, using an artificial root topped with a custom crown.
Dentures
Dentures provide a comfortable, natural-looking solution for replacing multiple or all teeth, whether you need a new set or repairs.
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.
Why Preventive and Routine Care Matters
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings do more than maintain your smile—they keep you healthier. Starting early with routine care saves you time, money, and discomfort down the road. Our team cares deeply about each patient’s well-being, recommending proactive care and early intervention to help you avoid unnecessary pain and costly treatments.
Keep Your Natural Teeth for a Lifetime
Tooth loss is often preventable. For younger adults, cavities are a leading cause, while gum disease affects many older adults. With good home care and regular visits to our Baton Rouge office, we can help you protect your natural teeth. Early detection of gum disease and decay means we can intervene quickly, saving your teeth and helping you keep your natural smile.
Cost Savings with Preventive Care
Routine cleanings and exams are affordable and help prevent costly treatments. By addressing small issues with fillings or fluoride treatments early, you avoid the higher costs associated with more extensive care, like root canals or crowns. Preventive care is an investment in your smile—and your wallet.
Feel Great About Your Oral Health
The best part about healthy teeth and gums? You don’t have to think about them. No pain, no sensitivity, just comfort and confidence in your smile. With our comprehensive care, your teeth will stay naturally beautiful and functional for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
A routine exam includes a professional cleaning and check-up. We remove plaque and tartar that can’t be addressed with brushing and flossing alone, and we monitor your oral health to catch any issues early.
Cavities develop when food particles remain in hard-to-reach areas, feeding bacteria that create acid and weaken tooth enamel. A diet high in sugar and acidic foods can accelerate decay.
Genetics play a role, and some people may have more cavity-causing bacteria or crowded teeth that are difficult to clean. Good oral hygiene and diet are essential to reducing cavity risk.
Yes! Fillings prevent decay from spreading and can stop pain before it starts. Treating a cavity early keeps the problem small and manageable.
We use a range of techniques, from fluoride and fillings for minor decay to crowns, veneers, and root canals for more extensive damage. We’ll help you choose the best option for your needs.
Yes, preventive cleanings and exams are safe during pregnancy. Preventing oral infection and addressing any dental symptoms during pregnancy is essential. Non-urgent treatments, like whitening, should wait until after birth.
