I highly recommend this place as I had severe anxiety of dealing with my dental issues, but Dr. Carter and his staff were so friendly and very compassionate in assuring me that my procedure would be painless and they were right. Also a BIG SHOUT out to Kelsie Ducre one of the dental assistants who was very down to earth and personable. She really walked me though everything that was going to happen with so much patience and made me feel comfortable as I know I was terrified, but she really helped a lot with reassuring me that I would be fine and when it was done, I told her YOU WERE RIGHT, lol. Her reply was GIRL I TOLD YOU I GOT YOU, she is the best.

My 1st consultation went very well. I was very impressed with the honest assessment Dr. Carter provided. The staff (Kelcy & Jo'nesha) were very attentive and pleasant. I plan to move forward with the treatment plan for dentures.

Dr. Carter and his team at Affordable Dental are truly the best! They took amazing care of me after a major tooth break and throughout the implant process. I have honestly never been to a dentist where I didn’t feel anything — I didn’t even feel the needle when they numbed me. Dr. Carter is incredibly skilled, professional, and such a blessing. The entire staff made me feel comfortable, supported, and well cared for from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about you as a person, not just your teeth. I was so impressed that I referred my mother, who lives in North Carolina, to come down to Louisiana for her dental work because I trust them that much. I would absolutely recommend Affordable Dental to anyone looking for a gentle, caring, and top-quality dentist!

I have never been fond of going to a dentist since I was a child but I did. Dr Carter is fantastic not only in his professional skills but as a gentleman. His soothing personality help to relax me and his assistant Mica was so attentive. What a team. I have a lot of work to be done but am looking forward since it was painless and so professional
