Register read September 29, 2026
This is the Louisiana page of the practice finder: what the U.S. government’s NPI register (NPPES) lists across the 5 cities we cover — 23 denture specialists (each with a profile carrying the register record), 76 oral & maxillofacial surgeons and 300 registered dental organizations — plus the two state-level facts that matter before you call anyone: what Louisiana Medicaid pays, and where to verify a license.

Does Medicaid cover dentures in Louisiana?
Louisiana Medicaid Adult Denture Services (DentaQuest / MCNA Dental): Adult dental for 21+ is a denture-focused program: dentures, denture relines and repairs covered; exam and x-rays only in conjunction with construction of a Medicaid-authorized denture; only one complete or partial denture per arch in an eight-year period; partial must oppose a full denture; QMB, SLMB-only, PACE, Take Charge Plus and other limited-benefit groups not eligible.
That summary is from the program’s own published wording, read September 28, 2026 — Louisiana’s row on the state-by-state table carries the quote, the source and its date.
Verify a Louisiana license
An NPI record is not proof of an active license — CMS says so itself. Every profile on this site links the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry's license verification, and you can verify any Louisiana dental license there in about a minute. If what you find disagrees with a listing here, tell us.
How this list works
Everything on this page comes from one source: the federal NPI register (NPPES), read on September 29, 2026. It lists every provider in Louisiana whose register address matches, alphabetically. No one can pay to be added, removed or reordered, and there are no ratings or reviews here — we have not called or visited these practices.
Three caveats the register itself requires: an NPI number is not proof of an active license (verify one at the Louisiana license lookup), addresses are self-reported and can be stale, and a listing says nothing about quality. If you are listed here and something is wrong, tell us and we will correct or remove the entry against the register.
