Enlighten Dental was truly a God-send for me and my family. What use to be fear, anxiety and guilt when visiting a dentist has now become knowledge, solutions, professionalism and peace. Truly, genuinely nice people who care about the whole you not just your teeth. We actually look forward to our visits because we love the team like family and know we will get the best care.

Here’s a refined version of your review that enhances clarity, flow, and impact: Visiting Enlighten Dental has truly been life-changing for me. For many, going to the dentist is just a routine cleaning every six months—but for me, it was a cycle of fillings, root canals, extractions, and implants. My previous dentist could never explain the root cause of my ongoing oral health issues. That all changed within 30 minutes of my first visit with Dr. Blackwell. Not only did I finally get answers, but we also created a clear plan for moving forward. Now, two years later, I haven’t had a single cavity. My oral health is in top shape, and my overall well-being has improved dramatically. I initially found Enlighten Dental after learning about the potential neurological risks of root canals. What I didn’t realize was that my root canals were contributing to my high blood pressure. After having them removed and replaced with zirconia implants, my anxiety disappeared, my brain fog lifted, and my blood pressure returned to normal. I can’t thank Dr. Blackwell, Dr. Nguyen, and their entire team enough for their incredible care. Every person in their office is kind, compassionate, and truly invested in their patients’ health. I even bring my nine-year-old daughter here, and since switching, she hasn’t had a single cavity either. Enlighten Dental has been an essential part of my holistic health journey, and I’m beyond grateful to have found them.

We are delighted to have found Enlighten Dental. Under expert care we have benefitted from their 3D imaging, Airway Laser treatment, mercury-filling extraction, tooth repair, bio-film cleanings and more. Our children used palate expanding appliances and continue to receive advice that ties into their daily rituals in a way they can understand. Its clear that the goal is to improve the overall wellbeing of each individual and the technology they use is cutting edge. I never had lasers utilized by any of my previous dentists. It has been a much more pleasant, and precise experience.

Today was my second dental visit to enlightenDental’s. Every visit I am greeted by an amazing friendly, welcoming and professional staff. The waiting area is clean, modern and full of light, which instantly put me at ease in addition to the friendly faces. Dr. Blackwell always takes her time to explain everything clearly and make sure I feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. I appreciate her gentle, caring and thorough work with the best holistic practices and technology. She is so passionate about our overall health and keeping our teeth alive! Today specifically, I must thank the dental assistant for her kindness and assistance in helping me calm my nerves. I am very happy with the level of care I received, confident about my upcoming visits and will definitely continue to see Dr. Blackwell for all my dental needs. I highly recommend enlightenDental as an elite and compassionate dental office!

This place should be the gold standard for all Dental Practices. This type of practice is what should be taught in normal/conventional Dentistry. I have been to so many conventional dentists and they often treat teeth as if they’re isolated from the rest of the body—like parts on a mannequin. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. This is very untrue and while I knew this knowledge previously to some degree, I was blown away by how much I didn't know until I came here. The knowledge I have received at this place has been life-changing. Dr. Gina is the dentist I have been seeing and she is beyond amazing at explaining and helping me with my dental health. She takes the time to actually explain the root causes of dental problems and provides solutions that actually work that no other traditional dentist would even consider. I have been truly blessed to find this place as I had been in a lot of pain from seeing multiple dentists all scratching their head wanting me to do a root canal. Dr. Gina and her staff were able to eliminate the pain by 70% just after the first set of treatments (ozone and laser therapy). If you're on the fence about seeing a holistic dentist, my advice is simple: JUST DO IT. It’s worth every penny and every minute. My only regret is not finding them sooner. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Gina and the entire staff at Enlightened Dental.

I first want to say if we could travel into the future to the year of 2077, this would be the dentistry standard!! I believe EnlightenDental is light years ahead of their time! The technology mixed with their expertise is like no other dental office is the country. I could right a 10 page article about my experience but most importantly I want to thank every member that's involved at EnlightenDental. I'm beyond thankful to have found this Dentistry💫

First and foremost I feel the need to comment on how perfect the office is. The vibes of the office are perfect! Very zen, very calming, very positive. They exceed at every small detail. Then there's the staff. From the young lady in the front to both the doctors. The staff is very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. The staff does everything they can to help their patients to the best of their ability. My name was even on the tv monitor as a welcoming sign once we made it to the operating room. Then there's the work that was done! Never was I in any pain or discomfort. I actually was given a break between the work that I was receiving to help relax me. Every procedure that was done to me was explained in full. Every question I had was pleasantly answered. Usually the dentist always administrators to much numbing agent to me for some reason keeping me feeling numb long after the appointment is over. At Enlighten, the dentist used the perfect amount of numbing agent. While my mouth was being worked on I did not feel a thing, but, somehow wore off soon after I left. If you are looking for a dental office that put it's patients before anything you have to go. I will be a patient for a long time moving forward. I hope you guys keep up the great work. I highly highly recommend EnlightenDental for all dental needs 😊

I was searching for a dental practice that uses SMART to safely remove mercury amalgam fillings, and that’s how I found EnlightenDENTAL. From the moment I read about their dentists and holistic philosophy, I knew this was the place for me. Despite the usual hesitation about going to the dentist, I made the decision to give them a try, and I’m glad I did. They approach dentistry holistically, explaining the connections between dental issues and overall health. They take the time to break down not just what needs to be done, but why and how dental problems impact the body. Fixing those problems and improving your health go hand in hand. So far, I’ve had two appointments. During my initial consultation, Dr. Gina provided a wealth of information. She walked me through my scans and explained what was going on inside my head (literally) and how I could address it. There was a lot to absorb, but it was the kind of detail I appreciate. I really enjoyed it. At my second appointment, I met a whole new group, including Dr. Blackwell, who was very nice, and Christine, an expert hygienist with over 30 years of experience, handled the cleaning. She introduced me to some advanced techniques I hadn’t seen before, like ozone therapy, and explained everything as she went. From Catherine, who first greeted me as I walked in, handled my payments, and is absolutely fantastic, to Julaine, who did the initial scans and X-rays and made me instantly relaxed and at ease, to all the rest who have been exceedingly helpful and friendly—everyone I’ve encountered has been great. If you're looking for a holistic dental practice where the staff takes the time to educate you and focus on overall wellness, I highly recommend EnlightenDENTAL NOLa. Health starts with the mouth, and this is a great place to start your journey toward better health.
