. I trusted the dentist assigned to care for me to have me appear as I did before many medications caused my real teeth to die. Even with the broken things that remained, I still had a full face.I still looked like the me. I was excited when my dentist assured me I would have my old, regular smile back once her and LDC's work was completed,.I agreed to her plan and, after allowing her to make me look as I do now, through all those extractions, not so patiently waited the allotted time for my recovery and LDC's order to be filled. We anxiously showed up on the initial fitting day and was excited and pleased with the viewing of the new, improved part of my face, my new denture. All that quickly left me when it was first put in my mouth. It immediately rattled around my mouth, not fitting to my gum in any way. I immediately told both the tech (and the dentist, when she came a moment later to check how it looked) , while, even then, I had trouble speaking and keeping it in my mouth, that it did not fit, it was too big. I was told by both that what it was doing was normal and, using Fixodent, my mouth would quickly adjust to the alien object and everything would fall into place. Not knowing then what we know now about proper fit and very little need, if any, of adhesives when denture are properly made, we trusted their knowledge and departed clinic, ready to live and look normal again. That is where this nightmare begins. From that point on, I don't know how many times I came to clinic with the same complaint of my denture not fitting properly, even with the daily uses of adhesive. All those times, I don't recall speaking to my dentist at any time. The lab technicians continued to replace soft liner, which I assume they were instructed to do, every time I came. And every time, I would tell them (and show them, after a couple minutes of it being put back in my mouth) that it still didn't fit. Each time I was given different reasons for the denture failing to allow me to function normally, even with adhesives I.e.eat a normal meal, hold a conversation without nearly expelling denture out of my mouth, etc, and advised each time that continual use of adhesives were the only way that dentures work, regardless of the many times I told them the adhesives were doing absolutely nothing to keep my denture in once any amount of pressure on it was applied. By the one year mark, I began to educate myself on every aspect of dentures, particularly information from countless dental sites FAQs about how proper denture fitting is through the suction and friction produced when the denture is in close contact with the the area it is supposed to be and the fact that EVERY one of the numerous dental or medical sites I researched strongly discouraged the use of adhesives to keep dentures attached to their respective areas in the mouth.Now, with all of this new information I've found, it's blatantly obvious that throughout the entire time I have been under the care of LDC, in general, and my dentist, in particular, I have been lied to and misled regarding my continued confusion and frustration concerning both my physical and mental health and well-being. You have continually attempted, through deceit and manipulation, to make me believe that a fraudulent, mistakenly manufactured prosthetic oral device was specifically and correctly constructed in regards to me and my dentist's properly prescribed orders regarding my oral healthcare needs, knowing from the time of fitting that this particular device could NEVER properly provide the promised, intended outcome of which I came to LDC to receive. I am respectfully asking LDC supervisors to understand what destruction the deceitful actions described above has done to this man's physical, mental, and emotional health and how a entire family's way of life continues to be negatively impacted due to the immaturity and apparent gall and greed exhibited by these people trusted with care of others

I went to Louisiana Dental to have one tooth pulled and I had another tooth that the filling had broken they're always very nice very pleasant but I don't think the work that was done on the filling was very good he was in seemed to be in a hurry and though he said it came out great when I got home and looked at it the color was off it had a shelf on the front where you can feel it with your tongue it drives you crazy and I just don't think he thought that my teeth weren't good enough to do a real good job he kind of slapped it all together that's my complaint I never had a problem before but this time it seems that he really wasn't interested in doing a great job for me

First time going to La Dental. My Granddaughter in law and her children go there. I saw Dr Chad Vaught today. I fear sitting in the dental chair and told him and his assistant. I was pleased with both. I thought they explained everythi ng to me well. Ihave some work to be done on my mouth I still fear sitting in the drntal chair. But feel I am in good hands with Dr. Vaught and his assistant. The ones at the front desk are ate not friendly. Told me I didn't hsve dental insurance it was medical. Told me I had to call my insurance company and get it straight. Did that and the insurance lady told me all they had to do was call the dental number on the back of the card to verify that I did. So I asked her to please tell them that and she did. So thankful because it paid for my visit. Again I was satisfied with Dr. Vaught and his assistant would recomment him.

Dr. Vo is AMAZING! I've suffered with dental anxiety for as long as I can remember. Dr. Vo not only walked me through every part of my procedures, but she treated me as if it were her own teeth. She checked the color four times- in different lights, to confirm the proper crown color. And she never rushes- even tho they always have a waiting room full- she makes me feel like my teeth are the 1st priority. The team at this location work extremely hard to treat any and everyone immediately. I highly recommend seeing her at Louisiana Dental Center for the best dental experience you could ask for!

Girl on the left side of front desk,rude.The one on the right a little bit better.But when leaving,we said goodbye,they said nothing.Very rude.Lady hygienist nice.Told her how scared of dentist ,I am.Cant help it.Was in severe pain,still in pain.Got antibiotics.But have a abscess,about to lose my mind.Told the dentist,Dr.Patrick Eck.Im 67,in severe pain.Asked hygienist why Doctor couldn't give me something for the pain.She said because he didn't we ork on me today.Made earliest appointment with the other dentist,that gives IV conscious sedation to pull my teeth,and get dentures.But they gave me a price for him,.On paper says 2second opinion consultation 103.00.5Five teeth pulled . Estimated patient portion 1241.00.And that's not all my teeth,to be pulled.Dont think I can see a dentist who cares less about the pain I'm in.Just praying to God again tonight,I can sleep,I'm in so much pain,which brings my blood pressure up,so bad.Not to good.Does this doctor care at all.No, because he made no big money off of me.What a shame,all about the money.Hope this is posted.Never wrote a bad review before.But ,I believe the truth needs to be told.Thank you.

My experience today was great. My appointment was at 11 AM and I was in the chair for x-rays and cleaning shortly after 11. My Hygenist was very considerate and took care of my cleaning efficiently and listened to my concerns since my previous visit. When the Dentist came in he explained what was happening with the tooth I was concerned about and was very considerate. He explained the procedures I needed to have done and the Hygenist gave me a written estimate of the dental work I needed and scheduled my first appointment. I appreciate the service I received today.

I felt like my visit was more about money than patient care. And I work in the medical field. To begin, as soon as I checked in, I was called to be advised that I would need to pay for the X-ray before they would even bring me back. So I paid and then was called to an exam room. One X-ray was taken. The assistant left to process and came back to tell me the tooth needed to be extracted. I asked for further explanation, but was advised that would be left to the dentist. The dentist came in and we discussed repair versus extraction. We decided extraction was best. He left for a moment and the clerk was took payment for the X-ray returned with a handheld device to collect FULL payment while I laid in the chair awaiting the dentist to return. It quickly became clear that if I didn't pay in full, I would leave with the problem I went in with. Seriously, you really couldn't wait until the procedure was completed. After I was done, they let me walk out. Didn't even offer a follow up appointment to begin cleaning and other needed work. In my opinion this is not good patient care and I will not return, nor would I recommend this office.

I have been going to this office for some years now. I went to my second visit to get my permanent crown and prep the next one today. I walk in and sign in and then called to to the counter and the girl tells me I owe money. I paid in full for my two crowns upfront three weeks before. She argues with me. I think she should look at the history before talking out of line. Then dismissed me so she could do so after arguing with me. Dr. Romano is the best and so was the assistant. I only want Dr. Romano working on my teeth. Because when I had my cleaning and there was an old aged dentist that came to look after my cleaning scheduled a filling and when I went in Dr.Romano saw no cavity because I did not have one. Paid for my two crowns in full and we started so it was not a wasted trip. Thanks Dr.Romano.
