New patients Welcome! Extended hours!

I know, going to the dentist isn't usually regarded as pleasant. But everyone from Dr. Mott to Tracy to all his staff is on time, professional, and pleasant. Dr. Mott often meets patients with a problem at the office on weekends and at nights when it's an emergency.

I've never like going to the dentist, especially when you know you need a lot of work done, but my experience to day was the absolute best. Everyone there made me important and that they would do whatever it took to save my smile. I've just recommended Dr. Chris and his team to everyone I know. Best dentistry in Shreveport, Bossier,La .

About 22 percent of people have experienced dental or oral pain in the last six months.


In general, any dental problem that needs immediate treatment to stop bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or save a tooth is considered an emergency. This consideration also applies to severe infections that can be life-threatening and constitute contacting your dental office.

Among the most common dental emergencies our dentists see are:

  • Objects lodged between teeth

  • Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
  • Partially dislodged teeth
  • Injuries to the gums or lips
