Dental Examination
Untreated gum disease will eventually result in the loss of the affected teeth. Until gum disease is severe, it is usually painless and you may not know there is a problem. Because it is painless in it’s earlier stages, the only way to diagnose it is through an oral examination of the gums.
X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
It is important to expose a child to their first dental visit in a positive way. The first visit should be soon after the child’s first teeth erupt. Bring them with you for your regular dental cleaning. There are many things in a dental office that look ominous to a small child and exposing them to them when no treatment is intended is a good way for them to become comfortable with the environment. Many children will then want “their turn” and we can examine them and show them how to brush their teeth. Later, their own appointment is not new to them-they’ve been there before.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
The most susceptible surfaces of a tooth to decay are the chewing surfaces, which are covered with grooves. Food particles can become wedged in the grooves where they are difficult to impossible to remove with normal brushing. Sealants are placed on the teeth to fill the depths of the grooves to keep them from getting decay. If a child can be kept decay-free through the cavity-prone years, there is a much greater chance that problems through adulthood will be minimized.

Fillings
Veneers
Six Month Smiles treatment is often less expensive than traditional braces, aligner therapy (such as Invisalign), or a veneers smile makeover.
Crowns
Crowns and Bridges are also known as fixed partials. The broken down and missing teeth are replaced with restorations which are cemented in place over your own natural teeth and are not removable. These are restorations that most closely resemble and feel like your original teeth. The advent of the newer porcelain materials has made these restorations very life-like in appearance.
Bridges
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
All phases of restorative dentistry are offered from conventional amalgam restorations (silver fillings) to the newer tooth-colored, composite restorations. Each has its advantages and disadvantages and can be discussed for each individual’s needs. Porcelain facings and bonding are also options for cosmetic purposes.

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment usually gets a bad rap from comedians but the truth is that in most cases the treatment results in little to no discomfort at all. Treating these infections early can reduce the chance of a severe infection and the accompanying difficulty in treating them painlessly. The process involves removing the infected tissues and replacing them with a specialized material called Gutta Percha. After endodontic treatment, a crown is generally placed to restore the lost strength of the affected tooth. (see Crown and Bridge)

Deep Cleaning

Dentures
We take great pride in making dentures and partial dentures look as life-like as possible. While no denture can replace the excellent form and function of the natural teeth, in most cases they can be made to function acceptably with good esthetics.

Dental Implants
Although we do accomplish some oral surgery, we also refer to several of the outstanding oral surgeons in the Baton Rouge area. Each case is different and may or may not require referral. We work very closely with surgeons and periodontists in designing cases for implants and the restoration of implants that can be used in carefully selected cases to replace missing teeth.
