Louisiana Dental Center

What Louisiana Dental Center does

Louisiana Dental Center is a privately held, multi-location group dental practice founded in 1980 and headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. The practice operates 19 clinic locations distributed across South Louisiana—including the New Orleans metro (Magazine, St. Claude, Washington, Metairie, Kenner, Harvey, Chalmette), Baton Rouge, Houma, Slidell, Covington, Hammond, Gonzales, and other communities—delivering general dentistry alongside four integrated specialty verticals: pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, and periodontics. Operations are supported by an employed roster of dentists and specialists (e.g., Landon Broussard, Adam Coughran, Joseph R. Lacoste Jr., Randy Roth, Lida Mirzai) practicing across multiple sites, giving the group internal referral capability and geographic coverage under a unified brand.

The business model is direct-to-consumer fee-for-service, with patients able to walk in or book same-day emergency appointments without a referral. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and patients are directed to call individual locations. The practice pursues patient acquisition through a multi-channel mix including organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube), Google Business profiles per location, a special-offers promotional page, and sports marketing partnerships with the New Orleans Saints (NFL) and LSU Tigers. No subscription, membership, or insurance-anchor revenue model is mentioned. Technology stack is not disclosed, and there is no indication of proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, mobile app, or API platform—the offering is fundamentally a brick-and-mortar clinical services business rather than a technology-enabled entity.

Ownership is private with no disclosed institutional, private equity, or parent-company backing; the firm appears to be founder- or management-owned. Headcount is reported in the 101–250 employee range. No funding rounds, acquisitions, M&A activity, regulatory actions, or leadership changes are disclosed in the available data. Active dentist and staff recruitment via a dedicated jobs portal signals ongoing operational scaling within the existing geographic footprint.
