General Dentistry in Baton Rouge, LA | Louisiana Dental Center

Your Family Dentist on Market Street in Baton Rouge

Finding one Baton Rouge office that handles cleanings, braces, and oral surgery is rare. At 14948 Market St., 10 dentists and an in-house orthodontist and oral surgeon share a single address, so your family gets complete care without referrals. Patients from Prairieville, Gonzales, and Denham Springs appreciate a dental home that welcomes walk-ins, sees emergencies the same day, and holds Saturday hours.

General dentistry is the heart of that care: checkups, cleanings, digital X-rays, fillings, extractions, gum screenings, and oral cancer checks. When small problems are caught early, treatment is quicker and less expensive. As a locally owned practice, we built our schedule around the families we serve and the promise that defines us: 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.
