BR Dentistry offers a full array of dental services to help you maintain a healthy smile. From routine dental cleanings and dental fillings, to root canals, teeth whitening, dental crowns and bridges, we are equipped to handle all your dental needs.
BR Dentistry is a leader in the Baton Rouge area in the field of CEREC, same-day dentistry. CEREC utilizes CAD/CAM dentistry and our office has almost two decades of hands-on experience with the CEREC system of computer fabrication of ceramic (porcelain) dental restorations (crowns, veneers, onlays, and inlays). With this technology, most procedures can be completed in the same day; saving our patients time in their own busy schedules.

GENERAL DENTISTRY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
At BR Dentistry, we love seeing your whole family. We have a welcoming atmosphere around our office between our staff and with our patients. Dentistry can be scary for some people and we understand that. We want to make your dental experience as comfortable as possible.
We see patients of all ages. From the dental needs of a child to great grandparents, we have generations of patients at BR Dentistry.
We often get the question, “when should I bring my baby in for their first dental check-up?” The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) says, “In order to prevent dental problems, your child should see a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than his/her first birthday.”
Here at BR Dentistry we have a very family-oriented general dentistry practice and concentrate on your family’s dental needs. In addition to our general dentistry practice, we work closely with Baton Rouge’s finest dental specialists for any comprehensive dental needs our patients may have. Whether it is orthodontics (braces, Invisalign ®), oral surgery, periodontics (gum specialist), pedodontics (pediatric dentistry), prosthodontics (dental prosthesis specialist) or endodontics (root canals), we want the best for our patients.
Initial Oral Examination
Your initial comprehensive oral examination includes a visual examination, oral cancer screening, blood pressure screening, charting, periodontal screening, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Veneers
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Read More...
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Read More...
Teeth Whitening
Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth.The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco. Read More...
Invisalign®
Invisalign's® invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners will give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted. And best of all, no one can tell you're wearing them. Invisalign is great for adults and teenagers.

Root Canal Therapy
Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root. Read More...
Toothaches
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue. Read More...
