Why Metairie Residents Cross the Canal for Dental Care in Lakeview

Metairie residents know what quality looks like. From the neighborhoods along Metairie Road to the quiet streets near Lake Vista, people in this area hold their service experiences to a high standard. 

At Canatella Dental, we’ve welcomed patients from across the canal for over two decades. Our Lakeview practice sits just minutes from most Metairie neighborhoods. 

It makes the short drive across the 17th Street Canal a natural choice for those who want something more than a standard dental visit. Appointments here move at a pace set by clinical judgment.

20+

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

The Fee-Only Advantage

Insurance-based dental offices operate within tight reimbursement structures. Those limits affect appointment length, material selection, and how much time a provider can spend with each patient. Our practice operates on a fee-only model, which removes those restrictions entirely.

Patients from Metairie notice the difference from their very first visit:

Undivided attention

Your appointment time belongs to you. No double booking, no rushing through procedures.

Premium-grade materials

Restorations use high-quality ceramics crafted in trusted dental laboratories.

Upfront treatment costs

Pricing is presented and discussed before any work begins, with no surprise billing afterward.

Clinically guided recommendations

Treatment decisions are based on diagnostic findings and experience, not coverage limitations.

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!
