    • dental implants

    A dental implant is a titanium post surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line that allows your dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge into that area. An implant doesn’t come loose like a denture can. Dental implants also benefit general oral health because they do not have to be anchored to other teeth, like bridges.

    Childrens Dentistry

    We provide all phases of pediatric dental care beginning with educating the parent and the child on tooth development, diet, and dental habits and how all contribute to your child’s dental future. We also offer behavior management options to help your child during more extensive treatment.

    Clear Aligners

    Clear aligners are clear, removable plastic molds that gradually move your teeth. They are an esthetically-pleasing alternative to braces, especially for minor tooth movements that improve your smile. They are designed using advanced orthodontic capabilities to achieve the best results in the shortest possible time and to ensure they fit perfectly and deliver the exact tooth movements needed to achieve great results.

    Root Canal

    A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma.

    Bridges

    Bridges and crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants by a dentist or prosthodontist. Bridges are commonly used to cover a space if you’re missing one or more teeth. They are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the space where the tooth once stood.

    I had an excellent experience at Tulane Family Dentistry! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, professional, and efficient. The office is clean, modern, and very welcoming. Dr. Gray was thorough in explaining everything and made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. They really take their time to ensure you're getting quality care, and you never feel rushed. I especially appreciated how they broke down my treatment plan and answered all my questions clearly. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a friendly and skilled dental team in New Orleans!
