Dentists in Gretna, LA: Local Guide

Quick answer: Gretna, LA has 40 dental practices in the Dental.me directory. 21 are rated on Google, averaging 4.82★ across 2,058 reviews. Top by Dental.me Score: Peter M.

No rated Gretna practice sits below 4.0 stars. 21 of Gretna’s 40 practices carry a Google rating, and none of the 21 is under 4.0; the other 19 have no rating and no reviews on file. The 21 average 4.82 stars across 2,058 Google reviews, and 15 of them sit at 4.8 or higher. That is a high floor, but seven of those 15 rest on 14 reviews or fewer, so the count under each rating matters as much as the stars.

This guide is built from the current figures behind the Gretna dentist directory: 40 practices, 2,058 Google reviews and the rating spread underneath them. A Google rating and a review count show how reviewers scored an office and how many did; they do not measure the quality of the care.

What 4.82 stars across a whole city actually means

An average says little on its own, so here is how the 21 rated practices break down by Google rating.

15 of the 21 rated practices (71%) sit at 4.8 or above, 4 between 4.5 and 4.79, 2 between 4.0 and 4.49 and none below 4.0. Ten are rated 5.0, on 402, 264, 249, 30, 13, 6, 4, 4, 3 and 2 reviews. The two in the 4.0 to 4.49 band are Morris Barnett (4.4 on 9) and Jones Orthodontics (4.0 on 7). With so few low ratings, the rating on its own narrows the field very little. It is not a verdict on the care, so read an office’s reviews on Google before you decide.

Most of those reviews sit with a few offices. Six Gretna practices have more than 100 Google reviews each, and together they hold 1,822 of the 2,058 (89%); the median rated office has 13. A 4.9 on 479 reviews and a 5.0 on 2 are in the same 4.8-and-above band on very different samples.

The market at a glance

Two more figures need a caveat. First, 21 of the 40 listed practices carry a Google rating; the other 19 have no rating and no reviews on file, which tells you nothing either way about the dentistry. Second, Dental.me has a website URL on file for 15 of the 40 (13 of them rated offices), posted weekly hours for 17 and a phone number for all 40. A missing URL is a gap in this directory, not a fact about the office, so for many offices a call is the way to ask about services and hours. Dental.me does not record which insurance an office accepts.

Where Gretna’s reviews sit

The chart below plots Gretna’s six largest Google review counts. They are the same six offices as the top six on the Dental.me Score, in a different order. A high rating on a large count is a more precise average than the same rating on a few reviews, but a review count is not a measure of clinical quality.

Geaux Smiles has the most, 479 Google reviews at a 4.9, and is second on the Dental.me Score. Peter M. Tufton, DDS is first, with a 5.0 on 402. Crescent City Endodontics (5.0 on 264) and Sutherland Family Dental (5.0 on 249) share the third-highest Score; Crescent City is one of three offices on Gretna’s endodontist list, and the only one of the three with reviews on file. Russell Schafer Dental Clinic (4.8 on 323) is fifth, Kurt Launey (4.9 on 105) sixth and Brian Connell (4.7 on 87) seventh.

What Gretna’s service lists hold

Dental.me publishes 12 service lists for Gretna: dental implants 5, teeth whitening 4, cosmetic dentists 4, emergency dentists 3, oral surgeons 3, endodontists 3, pediatric dentists 2, orthodontists 2, Invisalign 2, periodontists 2, dentures 2. The prosthodontist list is empty, and 29 of the 40 practices are on none of the 12. The orthodontist and Invisalign lists hold the same two offices, Jones Orthodontics and Dr. Joshua J. Jones, DDS; the pediatric and periodontist lists hold the same two, Russell Schafer Dental Clinic and Brian Connell. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.

The implant list is the longest, with five offices; open the Gretna dental implant list to compare them. For a service with a short list, the nearby directories below add more offices.

How to pick, in a city with few low ratings

When every rated office sits at 4.0 or above, the decision shifts from the rating to the work you need. Use this order.

The rating separates few rated offices here, so let the work you need and the review count do it. A 4.9 on 105 reviews, like Kurt Launey’s, is a shallower sample than Geaux Smiles’s 4.9 on 479. Then call each office on your shortlist. Dental.me does not record which insurance an office accepts. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate.

Looking beyond the city limits

Nearby communities have their own Dental.me directories: Terrytown (9 practices, 3 rated), Harvey (21 practices, 14 rated), Marrero (27 practices, 13 rated), Belle Chasse (5 practices, 4 rated), New Orleans (330 practices, 129 rated), Chalmette (11 practices, 7 rated). New Orleans alone lists 330 practices, against Gretna’s 40. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.

The full Gretna dentist directory lists all 40 practices across three pages, with a page for each service. It opens with four listings marked Featured, shown out of Score order; after those it follows the Score. A Featured placement does not change a practice’s rating or Score.

Dental.me organizes dental directory data so patients can compare offices with confidence. Use each practice profile and its available website, map, and phone details for current appointment, payment, and care decisions.
