All Dental Care is the Same: Right?
10-03-2018Although dental care can be expensive there are many options other than dental insurance. While our office is not a provider for any dental insurance company we do as a courtesy file and accept dental insurance for our patients as well as offer financing through CareCredit. Our Loyalty Membership Plan provides a competitive alternative to dental insurance.
The Cost of Dentistry
09-04-2018As the cost of dentistry has increased, the benefit limits covered by insurance companies have not. The maximum benefit limit today is the same as it was 40+ years ago. Premiums have increased while benefits have remained stagnant putting more of the burden onto the patient to make up the difference.
Do I have an Abscess
06-13-2018Toothaches can be quite painful, but not every toothache is caused by an abscess. Patients commonly equate a toothache to an abscess when in fact most times the ache is not an abscess and may not even need treatment. So, what exactly is an abscess and how is it treated?
All Dental Offices Are Not The Same
05-14-2018Most patients don’t realize the transformation dentistry has been undergoing for the last several years. Large dental franchises have been rapidly expanding in the U.S. for some time now, buying out solo dental practices and rebranding them under their franchise name.

My jaw hurts! Is it TMJ?
02-09-2018Everyone at some time or another has had to deal with jaw pain. Anything from a mild, annoying ache to a fairly severe, constant pain. The term “TMJ†is used frequently to describe jaw pain with no obvious cause. In this article I’ll touch on the more common causes of jaw pain and how to treat each problem.
I see crack lines in my front teeth! What do I do?
01-19-2018While craze lines may only be visible when light hits a certain way, crack lines are usually always visible, no matter what the lighting.
I broke a tooth! What do I do?
12-18-2017If you’ve had the misfortune of breaking a tooth, you know it never happens at convenient time or place to have it fixed. It seems weekends and vacations are the most popular.
We are Committed to Personal Care
11-13-2017I have noticed in the last few years a change in the dental world, especially in and around Baton Rouge. Smaller, solo practices are selling out to large dental corporate organizations losing the personal, one-on-one attention that a lot of patients have grown accustomed to. As a result, I’ve noticed an apparent decline in private solo practices like ours.
