Where Gentilly Residents Find Dental Care Worth the Drive

Gentilly is a neighborhood with a strong sense of community, and residents who take pride in their choices. When it comes to dental care, many Gentilly patients look beyond their immediate area and make the short trip to Canatella Dental in Lakeview. The reason is straightforward: the level of care, technology, and personal attention at our practice stands apart from what most local offices offer.

From Gentilly, our Lakeview office sits only minutes away. A drive along Elysian Fields Avenue or Chef Menteur Highway quickly connects to the Lake Pontchartrain corridor. This location places our practice within reach without the hassle of a long commute.

20+

years serving the New Orleans" and "Central Lakeview area.

Clinical Independence, Patient-First Care

Many dental offices operate within the constraints of insurance reimbursement schedules. Those limits affect appointment lengths, material choices, and the overall depth of care a provider can offer. Our practice operates on a fee-only model, which means our clinical decisions stay grounded in what is best for the patient.

Patients traveling from Gentilly benefit from this approach in tangible ways:

Unhurried appointments

Your appointment time is entirely yours. We do not double-book or rush through procedures to meet a volume quota.

Premium restorative materials

Crowns, bridges, and implant restorations use high-grade ceramics sourced from reputable dental laboratories.

Upfront treatment pricing

Costs are communicated before treatment begins, leaving no room for unexpected billing later.

Clinically guided recommendations

Treatment plans come from over 20 years of experience and advanced diagnostics, not from what an insurance plan happens to cover.

I really appreciate the fact that as soon as you walk into the office the staff takes you back to begin dental work. This tells me they respect my time unlike other doctor offices. My hygienist Sophie is wonderful. She is knowledgeable, professional and polite. I highly recommend her to everyone. Dr Canatella is always a pleasure to talk to and I fully trust him with all my dental care needs.

Best dental practice in the Greater New Orleans area. I have been a patient there for decades, and would not consider anyplace else. The office is the model of front-line technology, the staff are all top-drawer, and Dr. Canatella excels in his field. My insurance only covers a portion of my costs (out of network penalties), and I still would not consider switching dentists. Kudos to Canatella Dentistry!
