Dental Artistry
Our Philosophy
When looking for a place to relax, how often does your dentist’s office come to mind? If it doesn’t, then you haven’t experienced Dr. Thomas Sammons and Dr. Ann Laurent Dental Artistry.
Dentistry Designed Around You
What if going to the dentist could feel less like an appointment—and more like being genuinely cared for?
At Dental Artistry, Dr. Thomas Sammons and Dr. Ann Laurent believe exceptional dentistry begins with exceptional patient care. Our mission is to redefine the dental experience through clinical excellence, genuine compassion, and a commitment to doing what is right for every patient.
As a locally owned dental practice in Lafayette, Louisiana, we provide personalized general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry for individuals and families throughout Lafayette and the surrounding Acadiana community. But our philosophy goes beyond treating teeth. We treat the whole patient—not just the oral cavity—because oral health is an important part of total-body wellness.
Care You Can Trust
We believe trust is earned by doing the right thing for the patient, every single time.
That means listening before recommending, explaining your options clearly, and creating a treatment plan based on your individual needs, goals, and overall health. We never want you to feel pressured or rushed. Instead, we strive to build lasting relationships based on integrity, transparency, and genuine patient care.
Your health comes first. Always.
A Dental Experience Designed for Peace of Mind
We understand that dental anxiety is real—and we believe no one should have to feel afraid to receive the care they need.
From your first visit, our team works to create an environment where you feel safe, calm, and heard. Thoughtful details throughout our Lafayette dental office, including garden-window views, custom-selected music, and over-ear headphones, are designed to create a more peaceful experience.
For patients who need additional support, complimentary nitrous oxide is available, along with oral and IV sedation options.
Our goal isn’t simply to make dentistry more comfortable. It’s to transform dental anxiety into peace of mind.
Treating the Whole Patient
Your mouth is not separate from the rest of you.
We believe comprehensive dentistry means looking beyond the individual tooth to understand the person behind the smile. Your oral health plays an important role in your overall health and wellness, which is why we consider the bigger picture when developing your care.
Whether you’re visiting for preventive care, restorative dentistry, or cosmetic dentistry, we take the time to understand your health, your concerns, your goals, and the life you want your smile to support.
We treat the person, not just the tooth.
Always Learning. Always Evolving.
Dentistry is constantly evolving, and we believe our commitment to our patients requires us to evolve with it.
Our team is dedicated to continuous learning and mastering the most effective treatment options available. We stay engaged with advances in modern dentistry so we can continually refine our skills, expand our knowledge, and provide thoughtful treatment grounded in clinical excellence.
For our patients, that means receiving modern, comprehensive dental care from a team that never stops asking, “How can we do this better?”
A Different Standard of Dentistry
At Dental Artistry, we believe you deserve more than a dental office. You deserve a dental home where your health is taken seriously, your concerns are heard, your time is respected, and your experience matters.
We are proud to serve Lafayette and the Acadiana community with dentistry that brings together clinical excellence, integrity, whole-person care, and genuine compassion.
Because we’re not simply treating teeth.
We’re transforming the way you experience dentistry—one patient, one relationship, and one confident smile at a time.
Smiles Designed for Confidence.
