When I see a patients self-esteem blossom as they see their appearance change, I find myself smiling. They walk with a firmer step, seek out conversation and relationships with others, and show their biggest smiles.
Each person I care for is important to me. Every day I interact with people from different backgrounds with their own experiences and stories to tell. This reminds me of both the wonderful uniqueness of each of us and the common ground that we share.
Dr. Scaffidi earned his Bachelor of Science in civil engineering in 1991 before returning to school to pursue a Doctorate of Dental Surgery for the Louisiana State University Dental School. He then continued his studies at the LSU Dental School Orthodontic and Dentofacial Orthopedic specialty program.
Oral healthcare, especially orthodontics, requires a firm commitment to the pursuit of continuing education. There are constant developments in treatment methodologies as well as diagnostic and treatment technologies, which all lead to shorter treatment times and better results.
Every year he participates in continuing education courses at the local, regional, and national levels. Hes also a member of the Bassett Study Club, a network of 20+ local dentists and oral healthcare specialists. They meet every month to review case studies and share knowledge.
A New Orleans native, Dr. Scaffidi shares his life with his wife Lyn and their three children: Elizabeth, Matthew, and Caroline. Being with his family is always his first choice when not in the office, but he also enjoys spending time outdoors. He especially enjoys going fishing or duck hunting.
Gone are the days of painful headgear, clunky bands on every tooth, and overly tight stainless steel wires. Today's orthodontic treatment is much more comfortable than it used to be. This is because of shape-memory NiTi wires.
With the same technology that NASA uses, NiTi wires exert a continuous force against the teeth to move them in the right direction. This gets rid of the need for wire tightening. This means you spend less time in braces, and the time you do spend is more comfortable.

As a current dental student, I decided to improve my smile before seeing my future patients. I did a lot of homework to search for a reliable orthodontist and heard a lot of great things about Dr. Scaffidi. Indeed, he is the one I can trust! He cares about my opinions and provided different treatment plans for me to choose. He is very patient to answer all my questions and efficient to minimize my waiting time. Besides, all the assistants and staff are super friendly. With a more confident smile, I am really happy about the changes that Dr. Scaffidi has brought to me!

Dr. Scaffidi has been wonderful. He is very thorough and explains everything to my teenage son with patience and respect. There's was a mixup at our last appointment and we somehow showed up at the wrong time and they just fit us right in. No problems. No worries. And my son's teeth are fast improving. It's truly been a great experience with a friendly and helpful doctor. He is a true professional.
