Excellent first experience at Nelson Dental Care today. Dr. Nelson and everyone I had contact with on his staff -Jordan, Ashley and Casey were all wonderful. Definitely going to continue my dental care there. Thanks Dr. Nelson!
I honestly was nervous seeing a new dentist after seeing the same one for 20yrs. Dr Nelson took great care of me and it's nice to see familiar faces around the office! Ashley and Casey are rock stars that make me feel so at ease when coming in for an appointment

About Restorative Dentistry
Do you ever feel like your smile is holding you back? Would you feel more confident if your teeth were a bit whiter and straighter, or if you could get rid of those gaps? At Nelson Dental Care, we help people get the smile of their dreams every day with cosmetic dentistry services. With just one or two simple treatments, we can completely eliminate a wide array of cosmetic flaws so that when it comes to your smile, you can always trust that it’ll make the right first impression.

About Root Canals
Need to straighten your teeth but don’t want to deal with the hassle and appearance of metal braces? With Invisalign, you don’t have to! This clear aligner system is almost invisible to the naked eye, meaning that the only thing people will see is your newly straightened smile! This treatment is perfect for adults who want to maintain their professional image at work or self-conscious teenagers who simply want to look their best at school.
About Invisalign® Clear Braces
Does even the thought of going to the dentist make you feel nervous? If so, don’t worry, you are far from alone! We treat nervous patients in your area every day, and we always go the extra mile to make sure they are perfectly calm and comfortable during their visit. For our most anxious patients, we can offer safe and gentle sedation dentistry. These techniques won’t just protect you from discomfort, they’ll also help calm your worried mind so that you can finally take the stress out of your dental care.
About Sedation Dentistry
If you have dental insurance, we will accept it, and we will always work to get the most out of your benefits. Also, if it would help to break up the cost of your care into smaller monthly payments for a treatment that isn’t typically covered, like veneers, we can help you get low to no interest financing with CareCredit. (We have membership plans and periodic special offers too!).
At Nelson Dental Care, we are truly committed to helping people whether they are in our office or not. This is why we frequently donate our time to a variety of organizations that have causes near and dear to our hearts. We regularly participate in Special Smiles for the Special Olympics and Habitat for Humanity, and we also donate free dental services to those in need. Nothing makes us feel better than seeing a smile on someone’s face because we’ve helped them.
We will be participating in Smiles for Life this year. As part of the campaign, we are offering discounted teeth whitening services and donating 100% of the proceeds to children's charities. 50% of the donations will go to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Louisiana, which is our local charity partner, and 50% will go to the Smiles for Life Foundation, which benefits children around the globe.
Dr. Nelson and our team are honored that you’re considering visiting us! When it comes time for your appointment, you’ll find us at 3939 Houma Blvd # 11 in Metairie, LA.
