A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve in Avoyelles. We provide comprehensive treatment planning with restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.
As a practice, we truly believe that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide 'dental health care' vs 'disease care'; that 's why we focus on thorough exams checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only do we want you to like your smile, but we 're also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross-contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control.
As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team that takes pride in providing the care you need to keep good oral health. To give the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning. We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of the new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide dental care. Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.

My regular dentist didn't have availability for several weeks. Dr. Desselle's office made sure I was taken care of and was able to work-in an appointment. Highly recommend.

We had a couple adjustments but this Dr. was very understanding and patient with my concerns. THANK YOU DR. DESSELLE AND YOUR STAFF!! KAY DUPUY

Went in for a chipped tooth! I was scared to death but the Dr was very professional after carefully examining the tooth he really he reassured me it wasn't bad, grinded away the rough edge, and didn't over charge me at all. Dental visit, examination, and grinding procedure cost me $35. Not to mention total time I spent in office was 20 min. I highly recommend Dr Desselle!

I had 2 teeth extracted today and I have never had this done before. The nurse told me that they will not pull them out until I was completely numb.... he didnt wait until it was numb. Even though I told him I wasn't numb and he started doing it anyway. Then when I told him the pain meds wasn't really doing anything for me(It felt like I was taking a tylenol), he belittled me saying that I dont really need it but if he absolutely has to he would. But it was obvious he just want to take my teeth out, go to the next patient and get his money from my appointment. Will not be going back!!!
