Many patients don’t feel confident about the appearance of their smiles, but they don’t know how much of an impact flawed teeth may be having on their personal and professional lives. Those with damaged smiles may be less likely to receive promotions, and others who hide their teeth may be considered unapproachable by their peers. Let us transform flawed teeth into a beautiful smile with porcelain veneers from the caring, skilled cosmetic dentist Metairie trusts — Dr. Ferguson!

About ClearCorrect™
Do you have a damaged smile or a few missing teeth in a row? We may be able to restore your lost tooth structure with a simple, comfortable solution — dental crowns. These advanced restorations make it possible for us to save even severely damaged teeth, and by attaching dental crowns to healthy teeth, we can support one or more replacements with a fixed bridge. Plus, we offer state-of-the-art tooth-replacement solutions, like implant dentures , as well! Whatever your oral health needs, let our caring team help achieve your healthiest smile.
About Crowns & Bridges Other Restorative Options
The statistics about periodontal (gum) disease are startling. Some research indicates as much as 80% of the US adult population suffers from some level of gum disease. Even more upsetting, gum disease can almost always be prevented. That is why our dental team near Jefferson works hard to help patients prevent periodontal disease with screenings during every appointment. However, if you do suffer from gum disease, we offer numerous periodontal therapies to fully renew your oral health.
About Periodontal Therapy
We know our nearby patients often don’t have a complete understanding of how their dental insurance coverage will come into play in treatment planning. We’re always happy to explain your options and how they may be covered by your dental insurance provider. We also work with CareCredit to provide low and no interest payment plans.

Our team is happy to answer any dental questions that might be on your mind. To help you get started, here are our responses to some of our patients’ most common inquiries.
Sometimes you can’t afford to wait to see your dentist. Severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, and cracked enamel are all issues that need to be examined and treated by a professional as soon as possible. As such, our practice is happy to offer same-day appointments for patients with dental emergencies.
Instead of emailing us, we recommend that you call our office to schedule a same-day appointment. That way, you don’t have to worry about waiting for us to get back to you. Instead, you can simply explain your situation to one of our helpful team members, who can provide you with first-aid advice and make the necessary arrangements for your emergency visit.
Same-day dental appointments revolve around learning more about your situation, relieving your immediate pain, and putting together a treatment plan. In certain cases, we may be able to perform more advanced forms of treatment depending on your specific oral health issues.
Think of the traits that matter the most to you in a new dental practice; this may include accepting your dental insurance, being located nearby, and offering specific types of dental services (such as dentures in Metairie for replacing missing teeth). Once you’ve defined what you’re looking for, you can narrow down your search to dental offices that meet the criteria you’ve set. If you would like to get a feel for what other patients think of a specific practice, check to see what kind of reviews the dentist has gotten on Google and Facebook.
A routine dental appointment generally includes an examination of your mouth, a thorough professional cleaning, and an oral cancer screening; X-rays may also be taken. Altogether, the cost of these visits is typically between $200 and $350 in the United States. Of course, the exact amount you end up paying can vary based on a number of factors, such as the location of the dentist, the overall health of your mouth, and your dental insurance.
We want to provide our patients with high-quality care at a reasonable cost. As such, we’re happy to help our patients explore their options for making dental care affordable. We are in-network with many dental insurance plans, including major providers such as MetLife, Delta Dental, and Aetna. Also, we accept CareCredit financing, which gives you the option of breaking up the cost of your care via a monthly payment plan that comes with little to no interest.
No matter what your dental needs are – from replacing missing teeth with modern dentures to using sedation dentistry to get the essential care you need – we’re here to help at our conveniently located office in Metairie. Our address is 2727 Houma Blvd STE A, which is right off I-10 and is surrounded by numerous shops and eateries. Plus, we’re proud to welcome patients from surrounding cities, including those looking for a dental office near Elmwood or a dentist near New Orleans!
