What We Treat in Metairie
Care Designed for Everyday Dental Needs
-
Cavities and Dental DecayLearn More ➝ List Item 1
Cavities develop when bacteria produce acids that break down enamel, creating small areas of damage in the tooth. If decay progresses, it can lead to sensitivity, pain, or infection. We evaluate the extent of decay and recommend procedures such as fillings and preventive care to help stop it early.
-
Stained and Discolored TeethLearn More ➝
Tooth discoloration can result from foods and drinks, tobacco use, certain medications, or natural aging. We offer cosmetic procedures that can brighten and refresh your smile, including professional whitening and other options based on your goals.
-
Toothaches and Sensitive TeethLearn More ➝
Sensitivity or tooth pain can be caused by decay, worn enamel, gum recession, or other underlying concerns. Our team identifies the source with a thorough exam and imaging when needed, then recommends appropriate treatment to relieve discomfort and protect the tooth.
-
Bad BreathLearn More ➝
Ongoing bad breath may be related to plaque buildup, gum irritation, dry mouth, or other oral health issues. We focus on finding the cause and improving oral health with preventive visits, cleaning, and personalized home care guidance.
-
Orofacial PainLearn More ➝
Jaw discomfort, clenching, and grinding can strain the jaw muscles and wear down teeth over time. We assess bite and jaw function and may recommend procedures such as custom mouth guards to reduce pressure and support comfort.
-
Gum DiseaseLearn More ➝
Gum disease begins with inflammation caused by plaque and can progress to affect the bone that supports your teeth. Treatment depends on severity and may include deep cleanings and ongoing maintenance to help restore gum health.
-
Misaligned TeethLearn More ➝
Teeth that are crowded, spaced, or out of alignment can affect cleaning, bite comfort, and overall oral health. We evaluate your smile and bite, then discuss orthodontic options such as Invisalign to help improve alignment with a plan tailored to your goals.
