Meet Dr. Richard E. Scipione
I believe that great dentistry is about more than just one visit. It’s about the relationship over time that is built up with compassion and trust as we work toward the best dental health that you could possibly have.

This was a pleasant dental experience.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Tingstrom and her team Sarah and Wyn! They worked diligently to help me to understand what my current dental state is and how to improve. I felt deeply cared for by the team! Gina the care coordinator helped me to feel not so alone in sifting through payment options. She broke down the cost and informed me of my options. Tonya ended my visit on a great note and set up my next appointment! Overall it was a great experience! The only downside was parking, just make sure to come a bit early to find a spot!!

My experience with Metairie Modern Dentistry was exceptional from start to finish. Bianca at the front desk was incredibly accommodating, helping me reschedule when needed and working with me to find the best appointment times to fit my schedule. The process of getting my X-rays done was smooth, and Dr. Lockhart provided a thorough examination of my teeth. She took the time to educate me on preventive care for gum disease, making me feel genuinely cared for regarding my health and well-being. Allison was also fantastic—she clearly explained my payment plan, ensuring I understood everything in detail. Wyn, the dental hygienist, provided excellent care during my cleaning. Her warm and friendly energy made me feel completely at ease and well taken care of. Overall, the staff at Metairie Modern Dentistry are not just great professionals—they’re great people. I highly recommend them for your dental care needs; you’ll feel nothing but supported every step of the way.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?
The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
