Just Kids Dental Louisiana

What Just Kids Dental Louisiana does

Just Kids Dental Louisiana is a privately-held pediatric dental practice operating under Acadia Health, LLC, an LLC domiciled in Louisiana. Founded in February 2009 in the historic Delmont Village area of Baton Rouge, the practice has expanded to three clinic locations: Baton Rouge (5151 Plank Road, Suite 28), Kenner (2526 Williams Blvd in Westland Shopping Center, opened May 2011), and New Orleans (3502 South Carrollton Ave Ste A, opened July 2010), which also serves as headquarters. The firm provides general pediatric dentistry, pediatric dental specialty services, and endodontic services through a multi-specialty collaboration of General Dentists, Pediatric Dentists, and an Endodontic Specialist, treating children from birth through age 21.

The practice is structured around access to underserved pediatric populations. It accepts Medicaid, LaCHIP, and most private insurance, and operates a sliding fee scale based on family size and income with an explicit non-discrimination policy barring denial of service for inability to pay. Beyond clinical services, the practice operates a community engagement platform including school dental screenings, field trips for school classes and daycares, educational presentations featuring a puppet character ("Lucy"), and partnerships with the New Orleans and Jefferson Parish Chambers of Commerce and the Greater New Orleans Covering Kids & Families Coalition. Digital infrastructure is light: third-party Dental Intelligence/Modento for online appointment booking, Google Analytics and Meta/Reddit pixels for marketing analytics, and no proprietary platform, mobile app, or public API.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service transaction basis from patient visits across the three clinics. With 14 reported employees (likely undercounted given 11+ named dentists) and a documented 5,000+ patient-visit milestone at the Baton Rouge location alone, system-wide annual visits likely exceed 15,000-25,000. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed. Marketing relies on community-based channels (health fairs, school screenings, local news coverage) and organic social (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn), with the firm describing its GTM as direct-to-consumer targeting Louisiana families. Ownership is management-controlled with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent-company relationship; Dr. Billy Hall serves as Dental Director across all locations.
