Choosing Off The Trace Dental as Your Comprehensive Dentist
There’s a reason people choose to live in Bush, from the vineyards to the blueberry farms and the trail rides through the pines. This kind of quiet is genuinely hard to find once you head south toward the lake. Bush, Louisiana, sits in northeastern St. Tammany Parish with a character that’s entirely its own; a wine-country, farm-country community that knows what good living looks like.
Off the Trace Dental is right here in the same parish, about 32 miles south in Slidell. Dr. Pamela Daigle and her team serve Bush residents and the broader northeastern St. Tammany community with comprehensive dental care in a modern, family-friendly office, without the drive to Metairie or New Orleans.
If you’re looking for a dentist that can do it all, choose Off The Trace Dental. Call our team today at (985) 326-1711 to schedule your new patient appointment.
Dr. Daigle didn’t open a practice to move patients through as fast as possible. She opened one to build lasting relationships with the families in this parish, and “Building Families Through Smiles” is something she means. For Bush residents, Off the Trace Dental brings same-day CEREC crowns and complete in-house dental implant care, including sinus lift procedures, together under one roof, so you can handle nearly everything without leaving St. Tammany Parish.
What Our Dental Practice Offers
Preventive Dentistry
Professional teeth cleanings and comprehensive exams are the foundation of long-term oral health. We also offer fluoride treatments and deep-cleaning (scaling and root planing) for patients showing early signs of gum disease. Preventive care is the most cost-effective dental investment you can make, and we make it easy to stay consistent.
Same-Day CEREC Crowns
Traditional crowns require two visits and a temporary crown in between. Our CEREC technology allows us to design, mill, and place a permanent porcelain crown in a single appointment. For Bush residents making a 32-mile drive, being able to complete crown work in one visit is a significant convenience.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth affect how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about your smile. Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement; they integrate with your jawbone and function much like natural teeth. Dr. Daigle provides the complete implant process in our Slidell office, including sinus lift bone grafting for patients who need additional bone support before implant placement.
Snap-In Dentures
For patients who want the stability of implants without a full implant reconstruction, snap-in implant-supported dentures provide a secure, removable solution. They’re anchored in place rather than resting on your gums, so most patients find they can skip the adhesive entirely and eat with far more confidence than traditional dentures allow.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Professional teeth whitening and porcelain veneers. If you’ve been meaning to do something about your smile and haven’t gotten around to it, now’s a good time to begin your cosmetic dentistry journey. We’ll walk you through the options and what each one involves so you can decide what fits.
