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.

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

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

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
