Welcome to Louisiana Dental Center on C.M. Fagan Drive

Tangipahoa Parish’s Dental Home for Every Age

Hammond sits at the crossroads of I-12 and I-55, and our office on C.M. Fagan Drive sits at the crossroads of convenience and complete dental care for every member of the family. With 11 dentists on staff, including an oral surgeon and an orthodontist, your household can get cleanings, braces, implants, and emergency visits all in one location without a referral.

We are locally owned and genuinely part of this community. Many of our doctors are LSU graduates who chose Tangipahoa Parish to raise their own families. Whether you are a Southeastern Louisiana University student away from home for the first time or a lifelong Hammond resident, your dental home team looks forward to welcoming you. Walk-ins are always accepted, and Saturday hours are built around real Tangipahoa Parish schedules.
