The entire experience gets 5 stars. From the first phone call to make an appointment as a new patient, then the dental tech, the dentist, and even the bookkeeping staff were all awesome!! I will highly recommend Lake area dentistry to my friends and family. The atmosphere in particular, was so comfortable, and quiet, and very relaxing.

Dental Crowns
Can Improve the Health of Your Smile
If you are concerned about the health of a damaged tooth, we can recommend the most appropriate dentistry solution. Dental crowns are a versatile treatment option that can restore a tooth and help it maintain its function and appearance.
How Does a Crown Work?
A crown surrounds all visible portions of a tooth, providing it with the support and strength that it needs to withstand the daily pressures of biting and chewing. At our offices in Lake Charles, Moss Bluff, DeQuincy, and Sulphur, we use high-quality dental porcelain to fabricate crowns that look natural and improve the state of your oral health.
Placing Dental Crowns
To place a dental crown, we will first remove any unhealthy portions of the tooth. In order to accommodate the crown, we will remove some additional tissue from the perimeter of the tooth. Next, we use CEREC technology to take digital impressions so a crown can be crafted using computer-controlled tools to achieve a precise fit.
Benefits of Same-day Crowns
We use CEREC to fabricate crowns in less than an hour. This means that patients can have their tooth prepared and the crown placed during one appointment, rather than waiting weeks for the crown to be made at an outside lab. With CEREC, there is no need for temporary crowns; instead, patients walk out of our office with a restored tooth.

When Dr Bray was talking to me, he represented himself in such a manner that caused me to feel relaxed. This isn’t normal of any doctor. I’m the only one in my family that isn’t in the medical field and just being real, compassion isn’t a typical forte’. To that I say, well done for the Doctor and his staff!

The whole staff is kind, warm, and helpful! I usually see Dr. Hennigan, and he is always gentle & thorough. He also always takes a moment to ask how life's been/what’s new—which I find very welcoming!
