Pediatric Dentist Southern Hills Families Already Know
Southern Hills is one of Shreveport's established, close-knit neighborhoods, home to Southern Hills Elementary School. Families here are used to a short trip up Mansfield Road or East 70th Street for whatever they need — and that includes dental care for the kids.
Our Shreveport office sits just off that same corridor, close to the Youree Drive medical district near Willis-Knighton South and Ochsner LSU Health. That means Southern Hills parents can pair a checkup with other nearby errands.
- Minutes from Southern Hills Elementary School and the surrounding neighborhood
- Easy access via Mansfield Road or East 70th Street
- Close to the Youree Drive medical district for one-stop family errands
When Southern Hills parents search for a kids dentist Southern Hills can rely on, they find us just down the road.
Flexible Options for Every Family
We're an in-network TRICARE provider and accept most major insurance plans, plus Medicaid. If you're unsure about your coverage, our team is happy to verify benefits before your visit. For families who prefer to spread out the cost, flexible payment plans are available through our Patient Center.
What We Treat
Whether it's a first checkup or a chipped tooth after recess, our team is a childrens dentist Southern Hills families can call for almost anything:
Dental Exams & Cleanings
A kids dental checkup Southern Hills families can build a routine around. Every six months, we check for cavities, gum issues, and growth milestones, and a professional cleaning removes what brushing can't — a quick trip from Southern Hills Elementary or the Youree Drive corridor.
Mouthguards
Custom protection for Southern Hills Elementary sports seasons and nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism), because a mouthguard is a lot cheaper than an ER visit.
Fillings
Cavities happen, even to kids who brush well. We remove the decay and rebuild the tooth with tooth-colored composite, not old-style metal fillings.
Dental Crowns
For teeth too damaged for a filling, we offer both silver and natural-looking pediatric white crowns at either of our two office locations.
Extractions
We treat extractions as a last resort, only when a tooth is beyond saving or causing crowding — and we make the process as gentle as possible.
Hospital Dentistry
For children who need extensive treatment, we provide care in a hospital setting under general anesthesia, with safety protocols at every step of the way.

If I Could Give 100 Stars I Would
My 7-year-old used to never like the dentist until we came here. He is autistic and very picky with whom he lets touch him, and he has no issues with this office! If I could give 100 stars I would!
