General Dentistry in Metairie, LA | Louisiana Dental Center

Everyday Dental Care for Jefferson Parish Families

Jefferson Parish families juggling work, school drop-off, and the I-10 and Causeway corridors traffic need a dental office that fits their pace. At 3301 Veterans Blvd., Suite 203, 11 dentists and an orthodontist, a periodontist, and an oral surgeon handle checkups, cleanings, fillings, extractions, and same-day emergencies without sending you to a separate office. Walk-ins are welcome every day, and Saturday mornings are built into the schedule so nobody has to miss work for a cleaning.

General dentistry is the care your family uses most: routine exams, digital X-rays, cavity fillings, gum health checks, and the early screenings that catch small problems before they grow. As a locally owned practice at 3301 Veterans Blvd., Suite 203, we measure success in neighbors who come back every six months and patients who call us first when something hurts, trusting our promise: We’ll See You…Today!

Each of the pages below takes a closer look at a specific area of general dental care, what it involves, and what you can expect at your visit.

What to Expect at Your Dental Visit

Your first visit begins with a thorough examination, including digital X-rays so we can see the full picture of your oral health. Your dentist will discuss any findings, answer your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan. For returning patients, routine visits typically include a professional cleaning, exam, and any preventive care needed to keep your smile on track.

If we find something that needs attention, we explain your options clearly, including what happens if you wait, so you can make an informed decision. Many smaller treatments, such as fillings, can often be completed without a long series of return trips. Our goal is to respect your time as much as your smile.

Insurance and Payment Options for Dental Care

We accept most major dental insurance plans and work with you to maximize your benefits. Medicaid is accepted for children, and financing is available through CareCredit and Sunbit for patients who prefer to spread payments out over time. You can review all of these choices on our financial options page, and our front desk team is happy to verify your coverage before your appointment so there are no surprises.
