Melton Dental Care

Melton Dental Care Family and Implant Dentistry in Metairie, LA Dr. Melton has practiced general dentistry in Metairie for the last 24 years.

His focus is on prevention of dental diseases, restoration of diseased and destroyed tissues, and enhancement of appearance through cosmetic dental procedures. The practice serves people from all walks of life in the entire Greater New Orleans area and beyond. A special emphasis is placed on using dental implants to replace one, many, or all teeth when required, and, Dr. Melton has vast experience

in this area, adopting the use of implants long before most of his peers did. Our practice is a second generation, FAMILY-OWNED business, not a corporate-owned entity pretending to be a a private practice.

The buzzword in healthcare these days is PEPTIDES.
We've got peptides here, too. Curadont is a dental peptide used here at Melton Dental Care to help heal EARLY cavities before they need to be drilled and filled.

Here’s what happens during treatment:

We apply the Curodont liquid directly to the early decay area.
Peptides in the formula seep into the enamel and create a natural scaffold within the weakened tooth structure.
This scaffold attracts minerals from your saliva — calcium and phosphate — the building blocks of healthy enamel.
Over the following weeks and months, these minerals harden and restore the enamel from the inside out.

No drills. No fillings. No discomfort. Just your tooth repairing itself.

I'll continue to urge people to avoid scammy corporate run offices like this, including those pretending to be privately owned but in reality are run by a private equity firm. They give the profession a bad name.

Please be advised that if you have People's Health insurance, your DENTAL benefits have changed SIGNIFICANTLY this year versus last year. Yes, they (United Health Care, the company that owns People's) increased your annual maximums, but they slashed your benefits in half for services. In other words, you now have a 50% copay for services other than your routine x-rays, cleaning, and exam. Prior to this change, everything was covered at 100%. This is a pattern for UHC -- 2 years ago, implant services were covered on this plan. They quietly removed this coverage 1 year ago, without informing patients. I would advise clients of People's to either consider dropping them or contact your insurer to express your discontent. I would not be surprised if this is part of how UHC paid for the increased reimbursement that the LCMC hospital system received at the end of last year.
