A Focus on Preventive Dentistry
Our family dentists in Lake Charles believe that prevention is the key to protecting both your dental health and your overall well-being. With consistent preventive teeth cleanings and examinations every six months, we can help you avoid many dental concerns like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
Science has shown us many connections between oral health and overall health. We understand that the bacteria that cause gum disease also contribute to the inflammation that leads to systemic health concerns like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and dementia.
By being consistent with your routine preventive teeth cleanings and checkups, you are taking charge of your dental health and overall health.
Restorative Dentistry to Protect Your Smile
Dr. Hannaman and Dr. Herbert offer a wide range of services that will both protect and enhance your smile, such as:
- Same-day porcelain crowns and dental bridges
- Dental implant restoration
- Solutions for clenching, grinding, and TMD with custom night guards
- Root canal treatment
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Porcelain veneers
- Professional teeth whitening
Our dentists have completed extensive training in the field of implant dentistry, and we're proud to offer comprehensive dental implant treatment, including bone grafting for patients lacking sufficient bone to support their tooth implant. You'll always be working with the team you know and trust when choosing implant dentistry with Dr. Hannaman and Dr. Herbert.
Now You Can Relax When You Visit Your Lake Charles Dentist
If you've ever felt nervous or anxious about your dental visits, you'll be glad to know there are options for sedation dentistry in Lake Charles, LA. Nitrous oxide will help you relax during most dental procedures without the worry of lingering side effects. At the same time, oral sedation provides a deeper relaxation level for patients with severe anxiety or those wanting to complete multiple procedures during one appointment.
Our dentists are happy to discuss your concerns with you to determine if dental sedation would benefit you and which level is appropriate.
We want to be your trusted dentist in Lake Charles, LA, and we look forward to meeting you and your family!

Frequently Asked Questions
With family dentistry, you can receive dental care for your entire family in one location. Family dentists are skilled and experienced in working with people of all ages, so a family dentist can serve the dental needs of both yourself and your loved ones.
One important benefit of family dentistry is the ability to coordinate your family’s dental appointments. Rather than having multiple appointments at offices in different parts of town, you can schedule all your appointments with us. You may even be able to schedule appointments for more than one family member in a day, meaning fewer trips back and forth to the dentist.
Another benefit is the ability to develop long-term relationships with your dentist and the dental staff at the office. When your entire family visits the same dental office, you spend more time in that office and get to know your dentist and the staff better over time. With a pediatric dentist, your child will eventually have to move on to a different dentist, but we can continue caring for a patient as long as needed!
Additionally, going to your dental appointments as a family is a great way to ease dental fears or anxieties in children and set a good example for maintaining oral health.

We are here to help your family with all their dental needs!
Dr. Hannaman and Dr. Hebert offer amalgam (silver) restorations as well as white, tooth-colored fillings. Today, tooth-colored dental fillings are more common than their amalgam counterparts. Our Lake Charles dentists still offer both types of fillings for several reasons. We always want to provide you with the very best dental restoration for your smile. The location of your filling and the structure of your tooth will determine which type of material we should use.
Patients sometimes ask us if one dental filling is better than the other. Both dental filling materials have advantages and disadvantages depending on where we place them and the amount of tooth structure involved. No filling option is better than the other 100 percent of the time, which is why we always use our best judgment when deciding which material to use.
We will also take into account your personal preferences and the goals for your smile. You are the one in charge of your dental treatment—so please let us know the type of dental filling you prefer.
