Top-Rated Shreveport Dental Office

Our Technology

We use the most up-to-date technology available to our practice, such as the 3D scanner and Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC). Our 3D scanner provides us with comprehensive 3D digital scans that allow us to create more precise treatment plans for our patients. The CEREC system is another efficient process specifically designed for crowns that turned a once multi-appointment treatment option into a same-day treatment. With this technology, we can scan, design, and create same-day crowns for our patients.

Our Team

At Southern Roots Dentistry, we understand that the dental care experience starts with our team. Our team of dental professionals is highly trained and experienced in providing comfortable, convenient services backed by compassionate care. We strive to create a friendly atmosphere where all patients feel at home.

Dental Services We Offer

Sealants

Sealants are protective coatings applied to tooth surfaces to prevent cavities. They are usually applied to the molars located in the back of your mouth. Our sealants are made of a safe material applied in a thin layer to the tooth enamel. This material hardens and provides a barrier against bacteria and acids that cause cavities.

Fillings

Fillings are one of the most common treatments for teeth that have begun to decay, and they are used to restore damaged or decayed teeth. We use tooth-colored fillings that blend with your natural teeth to create a seamless, natural look. Our fillings are durable and long-lasting, ensuring that your restoration will last you for years to come.

Extractions

Although we always strive to save your natural teeth, sometimes a tooth may be too severely damaged or decayed to save. In this case, we may recommend an extraction. Drs. Gilley, Lowder, and Moore use the latest techniques and equipment to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth extraction.

Root Canals

Root canals may be necessary for those who have a tooth that is severely decaying. Root canals involve removing the infected pulp from the tooth and replacing it with a filling, stopping the decay and allowing you to keep the tooth. Our dental professionals use the latest tools and techniques to ensure your root canal is as comfortable and efficient as possible.

Dentures

Dentures can be an excellent solution for patients who are missing multiple teeth. Our dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth and look natural, and we offer both full and partial dentures to meet your individual needs.

We also offer other treatments such as preventative and pediatric dentistry, cleanings and exams, and nitrous oxide. Feel free to give us a call, and we would be happy to answer your questions!

Pediatric Dentist In Shreveport

Southern Roots Dentistry also offers pediatric dentistry services in Shreveport, LA. We understand that children have unique dental needs and require special care to ensure their long-term oral health. Our team of experienced pediatric dentists, Drs. Gilley, Lowder, and Moore are specially trained to provide comprehensive oral health care for your child and ensure they feel comfortable during treatments.

Whether you want a routine cleaning, a filling, or preventative dentistry, our team is here to help your child have the healthiest smile possible. We aim to provide the best dental care for your family. Please contact us to request an appointment for your child.

Preventative Dentistry In Shreveport

Preventative dentistry in Shreveport, LA, is incredibly important, especially for children, as they are usually not as mindful of their oral hygiene habits as they should be. Preventative treatments involve regular check-ups and cleanings, flossing, fluoride treatments, sealants, and more. This type of dentistry can be beneficial for preventing cavities, bad bacteria, and decay, as well as helping children to maintain their oral health. If you’re interested in preventative dentistry, request an appointment with us today!

Cosmetic Dental Services We Provide

Teeth Whitening

At Southern Roots Dentistry, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options. Our in-office treatment uses professional-grade whitening gels that are applied directly to the surface of your teeth, followed by a special light that accelerates the whitening process. This method can brighten your teeth by several shades in just one visit.

Veneers

Veneers are a common cosmetic dental treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. These are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the surface of your natural teeth to conceal any flaws such as stains, cracks, chips, or gaps. Veneers are made of porcelain or composite resin, both of which are strong and long-lasting materials.

Botox & Filler

We also offer botox and filler as part of our cosmetic dental services in Shreveport, LA. These treatments can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and create a more youthful appearance.

Dental Implants

Dental implants function as titanium tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a prosthetic tooth. Dental implants combined with prosthetic teeth function like natural teeth and can significantly improve the appearance, function, and health of your smile.
