Popular Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots that connect crowns, bridges, or dentures directly to the jawbone. Because they permanently fuse with the bone, implants are generally considered to be the best solution for replacing missing teeth. We offer a variety of implant services at our Slidell practice.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are ultra-thin laminates that our dentists can attach to the front surfaces of your teeth, concealing imperfections and instantly transforming your smile. Porcelain veneers are a great option if you are insecure about stained, chipped, or slightly crooked teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Who doesn't want whiter teeth? At Oak Harbor Family Dentistry, we offer in-office and take-home whitening services that can noticeably brighten your smile by several shades.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
Do you feel popping or clicking in your jaw when you open your mouth? You may suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. We are the premier providers of TMJ disorder treatment in Slidell. If you suffer from chronic headaches or persistent discomfort in your jaw, schedule a consultation with our experts today.
Clear Aligners
Crooked teeth affect both the appearance and the health of your smile. Our dentists can help you achieve straighter teeth without noticeable metal braces. With SureSmile clear aligners, you can discreetly shift your teeth into the ideal position. Best of all, you can remove the aligners when necessary, so you don't have to make any changes to your diet or oral hygiene routine.
Smile Makeover
If you want to dramatically upgrade your smile, ask our dentists about a smile makeover. Smile makeovers are customized treatment plans that incorporate multiple cosmetic procedures to address several aesthetic concerns at once. When you work with our practice, your smile makeover may include veneers, teeth whitening, Clear Aligners, and more.

Thanks for the super quick crown replacement - one visit - under an hour. Used to take a minimum of 2 visits and a couple hours in the chair. It was not a pleasant or quick process.
