Welcome to Louisiana Dental Center on St. Claude Avenue

Downriver New Orleans’ Dental Home Since Day One

The Bywater, Marigny, and Holy Cross deserve a dental team that is part of the neighborhood. Our office on St. Claude Ave. offers complete dental care for every member of the family: cleanings, braces with in-house orthodontist Dr. Tommy Lam, cosmetic dentistry, and same-day emergency visits, all without leaving the downriver corridors.

We are locally owned and genuinely part of this community. Our dentists are LSU-trained professionals who chose to practice where they live. Whether you ride your bike from the Marigny, walk over from Holy Cross, or drive in from Arabi, your dental home team welcomes walk-ins every day and keeps Saturday morning hours for busy schedules.
