Your Parish’s Home for Everyday Dental Care
St. Bernard Parish has never been a place that waits around for someone else to fix things. Our practice works the same way. When you come through our doors at 9020 W. Judge Perez Dr., you get a team that can handle nearly every dental need your family will ever have, from routine cleanings to urgent repairs, without sending you across the parish line.
General dentistry covers the care that carries most of the load in a lifetime of healthy smiles: exams that catch problems while they are cheap to fix, cleanings that keep gums firm, fillings that stop decay, and extractions when a tooth has run out of road. As a locally owned Chalmette practice, we back it all with a promise the community knows well: We’ll See You…Today!

What Happens at Your Chalmette Dental Visit
Your appointment starts with a careful look at the full picture: a hands-on exam, digital X-rays when they are needed, and a gum health check. Your dentist then explains what they see in plain language, answers your questions, and lays out a treatment plan with clear priorities. Routine visits from there usually take less than an hour of your time.
When something does need fixing, we tell you exactly what happens if you treat it now versus later. Many repairs, like fillings, are finished in a single visit because we know your weekday schedule is already packed. Families commuting from Meraux or Violet should not have to make three trips for one small cavity.
Honest Pricing and Ways to Pay
We accept most major dental insurance plans and check your benefits before treatment so the number on the estimate matches the number on the bill. Medicaid is accepted for children, and CareCredit and Sunbit financing covers patients who prefer monthly payments. Full details live on our financial options page, and our front desk will verify your coverage before you ever sit down in the chair.
