Dentistry that gives you a reason to smile
We are proud to offer a range of state-of-the-art dentistry, but we still believe that the most important service we provide is old-fashioned customer service. Our patients aren’t just sets of teeth passing through; they are human beings, who we happen to care about very much. We aren’t going to pressure you to have treatment you don’t want, nor will we make you wait for care that you urgently need.
Emergency dental services are available, and we will see you the same day regardless of whether you are an established patient or new to our practice. Dr. Briese offers oral sedation for patients who need help relaxing, and he works with Louisiana Dental Anesthesia Professionals to provide IV sedation for those who need a stronger option. He offers high-end dentistry for those who only want the gold standard treatments, and affordable options for those on a budget. In this office, it is all about you, what you want, and what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
We follow the guidelines of the American Dental Association and recommend that you come to our office every six months for a professional cleaning and examination. This allows us to stay on top of any tartar buildup before it becomes a problem as well as check your teeth and gums for any signs of decay or disease so that we can start treatment quickly.
Preventive dental care usually includes professional dental cleanings, dental examinations, and x-rays. These procedures allow us to check your teeth on a regular basis to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy and free from any signs of decay or disease. They also give us the opportunity to screen you for serious conditions like oral cancer.
Even with good brushing and flossing technique, it is difficult to remove all the plaque and tartar from your teeth, especially above the gumline. If this plaque is allowed to remain there, bacteria can grow and thrive and eventually lead to serious dental problems. Catching these problems before they start or nipping them in the bud will prevent infection, damage to your teeth, and eventually tooth loss.
