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.

Excellent place! The entire staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. The service was top-notch, and I was thoroughly impressed with the care and attention I received. I left the office feeling very satisfied with my experience and would highly recommend this dentist to anyone looking for exceptional care.

Everyone at Modern Denistry is absolutely amazing. When you think of going to the dentist one might get complete anxiety but they go above and beyond to make you comfortable.

10/10 and then some!!! I never thought I would actually look forward to going to the dentist but the staff at Metairie Modern Dentistry make it such a sweet and light experience. Tonya is phenomenal—she is very charismatic which made me feel comfortable upon arrival. She made check-in smooth and made sure I knew all the run down with insurance and payment information. From what I see she runs the ship and does it very well! I saw Dr. Lockhart, who took the time to greet me and walk me back for my first appointment which felt very personable and caring. She listened thoroughly to my previous dental experiences and took note of my (usual) difficulty to numb. Throughout her exam she vocalized each step and explained things to me which made me feel informed and apart of the process. I had to go back for a couple fillings and Dr. Lockhart numbed me completely on the first try(!!! all previous places I have been to usually took a few tries) and was so gentle and efficient. Her calm, warm demeanor and clear communication make me feel like I am in good hands. Highly recommend Metairie Modern Dentistry! Thank you for making the dentist a less scary place. You guys are awesome!

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.
