Expert Local Orthodontic Care From Dr. Brent Benoit 

Dr. Brent’s roots in the local community run deep. How deep? Not only did he grow up in Houma, but his mom actually worked as an orthodontic assistant at Coastal Orthodontics, which he now owns and operates! From an early age, Dr. Brent got to learn about orthodontics first-hand. He was able to see the difference that it could make in the lives of patients. That’s what inspired Dr. Brent’s passion for orthodontics, and what continues to motivate him to this day.

At our office, Dr. Brent wants to be more than just your orthodontist. Building relationships is his passion. Dr. Brent wants to be your favorite dentist, and your partner in pursuing a healthier, more beautiful smile, and your friend, too. If you’d like to see what makes us different from other orthodontists in the area, get in touch now for a free consultation with Dr. Brent.

Get Orthodontic & Pediatric Care In One Location

At our office, our friendly team keeps things running smoothly. We’re always looking to provide the best possible patient experience. That’s why we offer freshly baked cookies, complimentary coffee and water, an iPad station, and a play area with a tactile wall. We’re also located in the same building as Bayou Children’s Dental Center, which makes things very convenient for parents who also need a pediatric dentist.

Not only that, but Dr. Brent has made investments in dental technology that helps us provide best-in-class orthodontic treatment. These include digital scanners, advanced X-ray technology, and even a 3D printer that allows us to manufacture most orthodontic appliances in-house. This all adds up to a faster, simpler, and better experience for our patients.

Orthodontic Care For All Ages

We may be located in the same building as a pediatric dentist, but we serve patients of all ages at our office. From kids and teens to adults of all ages, we’re here to help you get a healthier and more confident smile. Our orthodontic specialties include:

  • Metal braces – Traditional braces are extremely versatile, and are especially great for complex orthodontic cases. They work well alongside other orthodontic treatments and surgeries. With our modern approach to braces, we do our best to maximize treatment effectiveness and shorten overall treatment times.
  • Clear aligners – Clear aligners are an “invisible” alternative to traditional metal braces. They use smooth, comfortable plastic trays that gently move your teeth without brackets and wires. Due to their comfort, convenience, and much more subtle appearance, clear aligners are particularly popular among older patients who may not want “adult braces.” 
  • Early interceptive orthodontics – Also called “Phase 1” orthodontics, these are treatments done on children and pre-teens who may still have some of their baby teeth. If your child has major orthodontic problems, early interceptive orthodontics is the best way to correct them and reduce or even eliminate the need for future care like braces.
  • Lingual braces – Lingual braces are another “invisible” alternative to braces. They're basically the same, but instead of attaching to the fronts of your teeth, lingual braces are attached to the rear surfaces of your teeth. Other people can’t see the brackets, wires, or bands of your braces unless you open your mouth really wide. This is a good option if you want “hidden” braces but don’t qualify for clear aligner treatment.
