- Dental ExaminationEven if you keep up with your oral hygiene on a daily basis, you may miss some areas. Plaque can build up and harden in between teeth or along the gum line in particular. During your checkup and cleaning appointment, we remove this calcified plaque, giving you a fresh, new start. Also, Dr. Camenzuli performs a comprehensive oral exam in search of any cavities, gum disease, and other issues. By identifying these problems early on, we can provide conservative treatment and avoid damage or pain in the future.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningAbout half of the people who are diagnosed with oral cancer this year are expected to survive—not because it is particularly difficult to treat but because oral cancer is often found so late in development. When oral cancer is caught early on, the odds of survival increase significantly. At Camenzuli Dental Excellence, we include an oral cancer screening at every routine checkup appointment. In just a few minutes, we can examine your mouth for potentially cancerous cells and, in some cases, even save lives.
- Teeth Cleaning
- FillingsFor minor cavities, composite resin is the best material that our team uses. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings have no metal at all, which means that it can easily blend in with the tooth’s enamel color. Because it bonds directly with the tooth structure, composite resin provides a better seal from bacteria. In addition, the resin material doesn’t react to extreme temperatures and offers better long-term support for the natural tooth.
- Resin CompositeWhen you have a cavity or get a tooth fixed, the last thing you want is a restoration made with dark, silvery metal to attract attention. This can be particularly concerning for the front teeth, which are more visible. Instead, we offer metal-free crowns, fillings, and other restorations that look completely natural and lifelike. With these porcelain and composite resin restorations, you can smile without worrying that others will be able to tell that you’ve had dental work done.
- VeneersIf you’ve ever watched a movie and admired a Hollywood actor’s perfect teeth, you’ve likely seen porcelain veneers at work. These thin sheets of ceramic material look just like tooth enamel and are attached to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can be used to cover misshapen, discolored, gapped, chipped, and misaligned teeth. Instead of the little imperfections, all everyone will see is a perfectly uniform, yet natural-looking smile.
- CrownsHow you should handle a knocked-out tooth: Do your best to locate the tooth and pick it up by the crown. Do not touch the root or remove any tissue still attached to it. Gently rinse the tooth of any dirt or debris, then place it back into your open socket to keep it preserved. You can also submerge it in milk, saline solution, or a tooth preservation kit approved by the ADA if you have one.
- BridgesHow we treat knocked-out teeth: In some cases, a tooth can be saved if it is still alive and not too damaged. However, if it cannot be reimplanted, we will discuss your tooth replacement options instead. This could include dental bridges or dental implants in most cases.

- Deep CleaningScaling and root planing, otherwise known as deep cleaning, is a safe and effective way to remove built-up plaque and tartar around the base of your teeth and the gum line. With scaling, our team will gently remove the harmful plaque in a non-surgical way, using specific dental instruments to ensure proper cleaning. Once removed from your teeth and underneath your gum line, the planing process will begin, which includes cleaning deep below the gum line to remove additional plaque and tartar as well as smooth out your tooth roots to encourage proper reattachment over time.
- DenturesA traditional denture sits atop the gums and uses natural suction, and sometimes a mild adhesive, to stay in place. While they restore some degree of biting force and a natural appearance, they’re not nearly as comfortable or sturdy as real teeth.

- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign treatment can positively impact your life in several ways beyond simply straightening your teeth. In addition to giving you a more attractive and confident smile, it can also fix a crooked bite to put a stop to unconscious teeth grinding and prevent the unpleasant symptoms that can stem from it, including chips, cracks, headaches, and jaw pain.
- BracesDr. Camenzuli first became interested in dentistry as a teenager while he was going through the process of wearing braces. They were placed at the LSU School of Dentistry, which meant that he attended progress appointments there monthly. These visits always intrigued him about what dental school was really like, and he started to look forward to them. He finally realized that he wanted to become a dentist when he noticed how many people made sure to hide their teeth when they smiled with their lips or their hands. “I want to help those people smile,” he commented to himself one day – and the rest is history.

You can use our powerful whitening solution from the comfort of your home and see results up to eight shades brighter in about two weeks.
