An Inside Look at the Best Dental Office in Baton Rouge
When it comes to your oral health, finding the best dental office in Baton Rouge isn’t just about services; it’s about finding a place where you truly feel at home. At Bonaventure Dental Care, we believe that a great dental experience begins with comfort and trust. Located at 13431 Tiger Bend Rd, our team, led by Dr. Justin Bonaventure and Dr. Austin Safford, is committed to making your visit relaxed and pleasant.
Our Commitment to Your Comfort
At Bonaventure Dental Care, we picture a world where dental visits are no longer a cause for stress. Dr. Austin Safford explains, “The main thing we all want is for the patient to feel comfortable.” He goes on to explain how the staff all feel like family, then adds, “…And we kind of want the patients to feel that too.” This emphasis on community isn’t just about being friendly; it’s about building a foundation of trust where your comfort is our top priority.
Every morning at our practice begins with reading patient reviews, a ritual that reminds us of why we do what we do. Dr. Safford shares, “And that’s the best part of a lot of our days, to hear someone’s feedback saying like, ‘They made me feel so comfortable. They made me feel like I was family. They made me feel less anxious.’ That’s the big thing.” This feedback drives us to continue offering the personalized care you deserve.
Our philosophy at Bonaventure Dental Care is simple: you’re not just a patient; you’re part of our community. Dr. Safford notes, “I think our staff all feels like we’re family. We’re all very close. We all can joke and have fun with each other. You know, Christmas parties are fun every year. We do outings every now and then, whether we do escape rooms or something, just to kind of grow together as a unit.” This family atmosphere extends to every interaction, making sure that from the moment you walk through the door, you know that you’re more than just a set of teeth.
We understand that anxiety can keep many from visiting the dentist. That’s why Dr. Safford and Dr. Bonaventure take the time to get to know you personally, often letting you direct the conversation. “We just, you know, tell me your name, introduce yourself, tell me about yourself. Where do you work? Do you have kids? We want to get to know you because that’s what’s going to make you feel more comfortable with us… We want you to feel like you’re comfortable; you can trust us,” explains Dr. Safford. Understanding who you are and what you need helps build a trusting relationship that makes dental visits something to look forward to.
One patient review read, “I felt like they cared about me as a person, not just my dental issues.” This personalized care transforms your dental experience into something comforting and empowering.
A Safe Space at Bonaventure Dental Care
At Bonaventure Dental Care, we emphasize emotional safety and understand the fear that can keep people from regular dental care. Dr. Safford explains, ” A lot of people that don’t come to the dentist, it’s because they’re anxious or they’re nervous, they haven’t been in a while or they don’t feel comfortable.”
By providing care accompanied by empathy and patience, we earn your trust at your pace. This commitment to understanding and alleviating anxiety solidifies our standing as a trusted local practice.
