Family Dentist in Hammond, LA | Louisiana Dental Center

Complete Family Dental Care on C.M. Fagan Drive

Families near the I-12/I-55 interchange need a dentist who keeps up with real schedules. Our Hammond office at 800 C.M. Fagan Dr. puts 11 dentists and an in-house orthodontist and oral surgeon in one building, so checkups, emergencies, braces, and restorations all happen at the same address. Walk-ins are welcome every day we are open, and Saturday mornings belong to patients from Ponchatoula, Amite, and Independence who work the week.

General dentistry covers the care your family needs most often: exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, fillings, gum evaluations, and the everyday fixes that keep teeth comfortable and working the way they should. Catching a small cavity on an X-ray costs a fraction of the crown it could become a year later. Our locally owned practice stands behind a simple tagline: We’ll See You…Today!

Each of the pages below takes a closer look at a specific area of general dental care, what it involves, and what you can expect at your visit.

What to Expect at Your Dental Visit

Your first visit begins with a thorough examination, including digital X-rays so we can see the full picture of your oral health. Your dentist will discuss any findings, answer your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan. For returning patients, routine visits typically include a professional cleaning, exam, and any preventive care needed to keep your smile on track.

If we find something that needs attention, we explain your options clearly, including what happens if you wait, so you can make an informed decision. Many smaller treatments, such as fillings, can often be completed without a long series of return trips. Our goal is to respect your time as much as your smile.

Insurance and Payment Options for Dental Care

We accept most major dental insurance plans and work with you to maximize your benefits. Medicaid is accepted for children, and financing is available through CareCredit and Sunbit for patients who prefer to spread payments out over time. You can review all of these choices on our financial options page, and our front desk team is happy to verify your coverage before your appointment so there are no surprises.

Why Why Hammond Families Keep Coming Back

A locally owned practice that treats Tangipahoa Parish as home
Walk-in and same-day emergency visits every day
Saturday hours built around real work and school schedules
An in-house orthodontist and oral surgeon so you rarely need a referral
Clear cost conversations before treatment begins

Your family’s needs rarely stop at cleanings.
