Delaune Dental

The office manager there, Lisa, is cold, rude, and dismissive.

I feel really lucky that I found Dr. Delaune! I only wish I would have done the research before another dentist created my problem. At the age of 51 I finally got up the courage to replace the crowns on my two front teeth that had been there for 30 yrs. I had one local dentist and lab attempt this and completely turn it into a disaster giving me horrible crowns, releasing me as a patient and returning my money. After consulting with then three dentists I decided to go with Dr. Delaune. It was immediately apparent that not only does he care and want to please but is exceptionally skilled. His focus on creating the right and as cosmetically perfect smile as he can achieve sold me! I don’t need to search anymore for a «good» dentist! Take my word for it, especially if you want cosmetic dentistry done, Dr. Delaune is the one! I will re-​post with before and after pics so you can see for yourself.
I will also add that Lisa and Carolina are sweet, caring and understanding. This process can be overwhelming and stressful. You really need to have a caring team assisting you through a challenging dental procedure!

August 2014 I went to Delaune Dental for a complete dental restoration. I was told I would be completed by Christmas 2014. I was charged upfront for the work. August 2015 after $ 37,000 and a year later, I looked as I did the day I walked in. I asked for a refund since the work had not been done. After numerous attempts of asking for a refund for work that had not been done I received an email stating they didn’t issue refunds.(Picture attached) After seeing other dentist I have realized how I should of price shopped as Dr. Delaune charged me $ 1500 for a temporary bridge other dentist said they would of charged $ 300. On the average I was overcharged $ 500 per tooth. I have filed a complaint with the LA Dental board and hired an attorney. If you would like any information on this dentist please call me 504−418−1736. I am only angry at myself. I saw the warning signs. His staff has turned over 3 – 5 times in the past year. His assistant (Carolina) pushes lip injections (which they do) She likes telling the latest gossip of the Doctors daughter being bulimic or about her daughter being a stripper to get through school. His office has called me days in advance of my appointment asking for «$ 3800 to reserve my seat» after I had already paid him over $ 15,000 for work that had not begun. I was so desperate to have my smile back, not to mention I was very unhealthy from not being able to eat I went along with it. However each trip, I paid and in return left in tears. I was lead to believe completion by Christmas, then February to find out in February it would be August and August … Dr. Delaune knew on my last visit I was very upset, he had Lisa from the front desk email to tell me he was going to call– I have emails saying he was calling for 5 days and I never heard from him. Once he had been paid he had no interest in completing the work that had been drug on for over a year. His office states I became impatient as they fought for money I disputed on my American express. He couldnt give me a time frame (remember he could prior to payment but not afterwards) I was told Christmas of 2014 it’s now August 2015. Yes I was impatient at this point. The picture taken is the work of another dentist as Dr. Delaune took the money and left me without teeth. I have had to go to another dentist and spend $ 21,000 to complete the work I paid Dr. Delaune for, he did not do the work, yet will not refund the money. I wish I had done more research this has been a true nightmare for me and my family to endure. I most certainly would rather be smiling and showing off my new smile but my experience was far from that. I would never recommend this dentist. It was a horrific experience.

So, update to this review. My husband goes to pay the bill. They tell my husband they will waive any bill I have if I agree to take down this review. My character isn’t bought for your small bill. So, thanks for showing that you aren’t concerned about the services you provide, but are concerned about no one else ever finding out how bad you really are.

I’ve been to several dentist over the years but I’ve finally found the best! Dr. Delaune and his staff are great! They make sure that I’m comfortable and that I get the best dental care. I’ve had a lot of dentistry done by them and I’m very pleased with the care I’ve received. Dr. Delaune is also a talented Cosmetic Dentist! He has the artistic ability to make my smile look beautiful but also natural! He provides a wide range of care and my kids see him too! I couldn’t ask for a better dentist!

For years I considered getting braces to close the gap between my two front teeth. I decided to start my research on the internet to get all my options when I came across the six month smiles website. I search all the dentist within a 50 mile radius of where I lived when I came across the most qualified dentist on the list, which was Dr. Delaune. I went in for a consultation and the staff were amazing. They made me feel welcomed and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Delaune examined my teeth and told me all my options and gave me his opinion. He actually listened to my concerns and didn’t pressure me to make a decision right away, which I liked. After my consultation, I was confident enough to take the leap and get the six month smiles the same day. Throughout the whole process, he customized my dental plan to fit my individual needs. It only took 5 months to close a 3.5 mm gap which is super fast considering how big the space was. Dr Delaune and his staff are amazing people and made my experience with braces that much easier; I looked forward to seeing them once a month. Dr Delaune really cares about his patients; He even allowed me to come in after I called him for an emergency visit at 6AM. If you are considering any kind of dental procedure whether it’s general or cosmetic, I highly recommend giving Dr. Deluane’s office a call, you WON’T regret it.
