Went in for a wisdom tooth extraction not knowing what to expect. I've heard horror stories of extractions gone wrong, and dry socket. Dr. Val was amazing, funny, and very good at her job. Was virtually painless during the process, and never felt pain a single time after the extraction. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

My experience with Barataria Dental was superb! I had to get some dental work done within a week of me calling because I was scheduled to leave town for a business opportunity. They squeezed me in for three different appointments, one to see what was wrong, one to fix my fillings and another to do tooth extractions. I never felt judged or talked down to.
I felt like these were my friends who happened to be working on my teeth. The front desk to the operation room, you're going to get a good experience. I've given their information to my entire family. I feel very comfortable there. They even helped me get my insurance information straight to ensure that my visit was affordable. I can't imagine another office being able to accommodate me with such grace and friendliness. This office truly embodies southern hospitality. I will be returning when I return to Louisiana! Love these ladies!

Dr. Val, Maranda, and EVERYONE at this office are amazing. Everyone is always, ALWAYS friendly! They explain and go into great detail about anything and everything you need to know. They make sure you are always comfortable and have up to date technology that makes going to the dentist not so scary. They have completely transformed my teeth making smiling something I enjoy doing in my pictures now.
I went in for a deep cleaning (after not being to the dentist in a while I had some buildup) and now I have a cleaner, fuller, and whiter smile. They go above and beyond patient care. I recommend them 100 times over.

I visited Barataria Dental today. It was my first time ever walking in and the lady behind the desk, Ms. Tammy, greeted me by name which was really surprising and impressive. She was super friendly and answered all my questions. You know when employees talk highly about their bosses that it's a good place to be. The "paperwork" was all electronic which was awesome.
The next lady I met was Sherri and she understood that I was uncomfortable with the mouth piece for x-rays. She was working extremely fast to take the x-rays as quick as possible and get that thing out of my mouth. I was very grateful for her working so fast. The dentist Maria was great to work with and she explained everything to me in a manner that was easy for me to understand.
I had my 11yr old son with me and all the staff went out of their way to make him feel welcomed too. Lastly, they had this really cool camera that went in your mouth to take pictures so you could see what was actually going on for yourself. Loved everyone I met and I'm looking forward to my next visit! Thank you again Tammy, Sherri, and Maria!

I've been a patient for 3 years and have been very happy with my visits since they are always prompt, friendly, caring and helpful. They also work later hours on certain days which is ideal for me since I don't have to leave work to get my teeth cleanings and other dental work. I highly recommend them!

It was wonderful. My brother was born with cerebral palsy. They are very gentle with him. He is 64 years young and we don't go to any other dental clinic. We saw Dr. Guy Sr. with my mother about 45 years ago. The care you receive is phenomenal and all patients are given the best care. It's a family practice and I feel part of the family. I'd recommend them to anyone who needs a good dental clinic. They are the best.
