Welcome to Louisiana Dental Center

Northshore Dentistry with a Personal Touch

Life north of the lake comes with certain expectations: quality work, honest recommendations, and people who take the time to do things well. Our dentists bring that same standard to family, cosmetic, and emergency dentistry, caring for patients from Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Abita Springs, and Folsom at our office on N. Hwy. 190.

Louisiana Dental Center is locally owned, and our dentists share deep Louisiana roots, from LSU ties to hometowns across the state. With Saturday hours, walk-in and same-day emergency visits, and an orthodontist and periodontist right here in the office, your care fits your life on the Northshore. We look forward to meeting you and your family.
