Quality care and kindness is so important Support Local Y'all I am usually afraid of going to the dentist so this is a big yes for me.

Being that my dentist retired, I was looking for a replacement. I was so glad that I took my friend's recommendation of Dr. Roby. He's very personable and professional, always addressing my questions and concerns. Thu always does a thorough job of cleaning my teeth. Dana, the office manger, always brightens my day! read more

He is an awesome Dentist! Very attentive and makes you feel like he is really interested in you as a patient

The office staff and hygienist are wonder and doctor Kent has a great personality but he misses a great deal of possible and potential problems. Losing teeth should never be an option to correction. Unfortunately the loss of teeth is the only reason I discontinued my relationship with this doctor. I hated to leave, good dentist are hard times find but I need my teeth, all of them. read more

To be fair, I'm a weirdo who enjoys going to the dentist, but- I really do have nothing but great things to say about this dental office! I've been going to them for about 8 years and have no plans to change while I'm still in New Orleans. The woman who works the office/scheduling always answers the phone with a positive attitude & works with your schedule, and greets you by name with a smile. Hygienists are kind & encouraging of good dental habits- aka they don't make you feel bad when you haven't been flossing! I have not needed a filling or other surgery, so haven't spent much time with Dr. Kent himself, but all interactions have been pleasant. I got a good referral for my wisdom teeth extraction. Also, the chairs are extremely comfortable and face a large window. The office is in a high floor so you get a great view of the city!! There's a parking garage, but it isn't free, so I do recommend coming a bit early to find street parking. read more

Dr Kent was amazing! I got two bridges in two hours from start to finish. He does everything himself using advanced equipment. And he has massaging chairs and a spectacular view while you wait! I definitely recommend!! read more

Dr Roby is an excellent dentist who can take care of any dental issue that may arise...root canals, crowns, veneers, implants, reshaping, filling, cleaning, or cosmetic work. Dr Roby has done a lot of work to me in the past and I highly recommend him. He does an outstanding job and is super friendly to boot. I don't do doctors but I love dentists!! Call Dana and make an appointment if you're looking to get some dental work done! read more

I love everyone in this office. They worked with me to get me in to finish a procedure as I was leaving town. Covid safe and professional. I was looking for a dentist for the long run and extremely satisfied. read more

Very friendly staff. We were kindly greeted at the reception desk. Then it wasn't long till I was called back. The dental hygienist was also very kind and thorough at cleaning my teeth. Then Dr Roby came in to do his check and he was also very kind. Very happy with my dentist decision! read more

Dr. Kent Roby is the best dentist! I went a few days earlier to Canatella for a routine teeth cleaning. I was told that a filling I had gotten when I was much younger was failing (that was giving me ZERO problems) and that they wanted to create a custom replacement for over $1,200.00. They sent a free x-ray coupon that I brought, I guess they had to make that x-ray money back somehow. After telling them I'd need to think about it and paying a copay close to a $70 (though I have delta dental) I left feeling quite ripped off. I called a coworker for a referral and she told me about Dr. Roby. I called and was able to set an appointment with Dr. Roby the same week. I showed up apprehensive, as most people do when dealing with the dentist. This quickly subsided when I started talking to his staff. I told them what had happened with my previous dental experience and what they wanted to do. Dr. Roby took a look into my mouth and said what they wanted to do seemed to be completely cosmetic. I did have a small issue that needed to be fixed, but it would be relatively quick. Twenty minutes later I walked out of Dr. Roby's office quite impressed, happy, and with a numb mouth. Best off, my copay dropped to $25! The icing on the cake came a few weeks later when I felt, what I though was, sensitivity on tooth he worked on during my previous visit . They scheduled me for an appointment and I came in for another visit. Dr. Roby checked the tooth and it was actually the tooth in front of the one previously worked on. He then added some desensitizing gel to the tooth and did a little work to remove the sensitivity. When I was going to pay my copay, he yelled no charge!. He did this even though it was a different tooth! Dr. Kent Roby is a great dentist who makes his patients comfortable and at ease in a place most people wouldn't be familiar with those words. His staff are super friendly and very helpful. I will refer anyone who ask me to Dr. Roby! read more

Best dentist and staff around! I have extremely sensitive teeth and am always nervous going to the dentist. I am put at ease the minute I walk through the door and see Ms Dana's smiling face :-) Dental assistants are nice, professional and gentle. Dr Roby is fantastic and the dental work he has performed on me has healed quickly and painlessly! 5+ stars! read more

I've been going to Kent for a year, first to get a crown on a tooth, and was surprised to find that he makes his own crowns and it's all in one day! The hygienist is fabulous, very thorough. The massage chairs and warm towels don't hurt, either. read more

Located on the 7th floor. I hate office buildings, but I found street parking a block away. The waiting area was cozy and updated, and the staff greeted me warmly. The best part though is the view! Totally worth the elevator ride! While sitting in the dentist chair, you get a great view of downtown. Dr. Roby was very personable too. I look forward to my next check up. read more

He is the best dentist I have ever had. He also has an amazing staff. Highly recommend.

Great dentist. Easy to get an appointment, they actually keep your name on a list in case any preferred time opens up. The hygienist was gentle but effective, Dr. Roby is great. And their chairs are essentially light massage chairs, very neat and relaxing touch and way to differentiate yourself from the competition. Going back in 6 months! EDIT: Just want to say you all should make sure to get that special floss for patients with bottom retainers. Not sure if it was just forgotten on this visit or if you don't have, just wanted to let you know! Otherwise perfect. read more

I have never, NEVER, had a good experience at the dentist and still weep a little bit when I have to go to the dentist. I visited Dr. Roby after a terrible gum inflammation I was experiencing. I can not write enough good things about Jill (the Dental Hygienist). I am super sensitive and my gum inflammation (I am sure) was hard to work with. She immediately noted my anxiety and really engaged me through the whole process from looking at all of the X-rays of my teeth to putting me at ease during her process. Jill, thank you so much for the best Dentist's office experience. read more

Best dentist ever. Love him already. He handled my crown after needing a root canal after another dentist drilled too deep in my tooth. He told me everything he was doing and was transparent through the process. There is a reason he has won best dentist in New Orleans several times over. read more

Literally. Hands down. No joke. Best dental experience ever. Clean, contemporary office, but doesn't feel pretentious. Awesome view of the city, massaging chairs, soothing music. Staff makes you feel like a frickin' human not a dollar sign. Did not try to sell me work/treatments that I didn't need. Most graceful/careful/stealthy/painless work I've ever had: from the anesthetic, to the cavity excavation/drilling to the filling. Won't go anywhere else as long as I'm in New Orleans... Heck, might even come back just for Dr. Roby's dental care if I move away. In contrast to most of my previous dental appointment, I left pain-free and relieved. Thank you Dana and Dr. Roby! read more

I'm very diligent about going to the dentist twice a year and work hard to take care of my teeth because I know I'm prone to cavities. I've been seeing Dr Roby for a few years and really loved my experiences there. But over the past year, I noticed my old fillings turning brown. Dr Roby always said it was nothing. My dentist friend told me they were not looking good at all so I really made a point to ask Dr Roby to check them out at my next visit. At my next appointment, Dr Roby said we they were just discolored but didn't bother to really check them. Couple months later, my filling started coming out. At this point, I didn't trust Dr Roby anymore. I started feeling like he was "cooking up a crown" as my dentist friends suggested. I went to my dad's dentist and he was shocked that Dr Roby let the decay progress this severely. Last week, I had two fillings redone that were almost to the point of needing a crown. This week, two more fillings redone with decay beneath and around all these fillings. My new dentist showed me everything in a mirror and in the x-rays. He was completely transparent with how severe the situation had become. Next week, I have to go back to fill a new cavity. Dr Roby is either negligent or incompetent. He would drag his tool across my teeth but never actually inspect anything. I'm so frustrated that his negligence has led to my current status and that I now may need a crown. I don't trust him and neither should you because I don't believe he has your best interest in mind. I also found out recently he botched my friend's crown terribly. read more

Called the day of suffering from a horrible toothache that sprung itself on me last minute- they fit me in for a check up ten minutes later. Dr. Roby was nice, personable, and had me set in under 20mins, I wasn't even late to work! Ill be back for a regular check up since I've def found my regular dentist. read more

I visited Dr. Roby for the first time and was very impressed. He has a very nice office with incredibly friendly staff. My hygienist was wonderful and very friendly. She talked me through what she was doing and took the time to point out what she was looking for in my X-rays. Dr. Roby came in for the exam and was equally nice and friendly. He explained what he was looking at/for and was very thorough. I have visited dentists in the past, who come up with plans to utilize my insurance and bill extra - leaving me feeling like I was being sold a used car. This was not the case with Dr. Roby. He was honest, kind, and very caring. It felt good to leave knowing that I had finally found an honest and trustworthy dentist. I can actually say that I am now looking forward to going to my next dental visit in 6 months - All thanks to Dr. Roby and his team! read more

Thoroughly impressed. By no means am I embellishing when I say this is the best dentist visit I've ever had. Dr. Roby and his staff were polite. The wonderful receptionist did her best to work with my schedule, even calling me to see if I wanted to come in on an earlier date when she had a spot to fill. Taylor, my hygienist, kept me updated on what she was doing and was very pleasant and comforting. She probably didn't believe me when I told her she was the best hygienist, but I honestly wanted to hug her when it was all over. Massaging patient chairs and a great view doesn't hurt. I'm going to start eating chewing on hard candy and washing it down with mountain dew just to go back sooner (alright, that's an embellishment). read more

I agree, he's the best. Cool, funny, great attention to detail and very honest. I made my first appointment after some tooth pain had me worried that I had some cavities. He did an xray, said that I didn't have cavities. Then he suggested that maybe some sinus inflammation was impinging on the tooth nerve roots and causing pain. The only thing I remember having to pay for was the xray. This was at a reduced, student rate without my even asking. Bought some advil with pseudoephedrine when I went home and my pain went away. Also! He has some original paintings hanging up that I thought could have been Rothkos. Granted I don't know art very well but still. Very impressive. read more

Dr. Roby and his staff are the best! I was referred by a friend, and have been going to him for years now. I highly recommend him.

Kent is great, I've been going to him for 7 years or so, since before the storm. Very professional and to the point, you're not in the chair for 2 hours before he sees you, the hygienists are personable but don't dilly dally. Office is uber-clean, everything is digital, you can even watch movies while he works on your chompers. read more

Dr. Roby has been my dentist for more than 10 years. I drive from another city to see him. Sometimes it takes over an hour to get to his office from my home. The reason I make the trip is because he is the BEST DENTIST I have ever had. He will take care of fitting and installing a crown in (1) visit. He makes sure the bite is perfect! Also, I have had after hours emergencies and he, himself, always returns calls. Don't waste time shopping for dentist. It is usually an expensive nightmare! He really IS THE BEST! read more

Kent Roby is the best dentist I've ever had, and over the years, I've moved a lot and had a lot of different dentists! It's not that they weren't good -- they just weren't as good as him! Go to this dentist if you live in New Orleans! read more

I ended up seeing Dr. Roby under not the best of circumstances while visiting the great city of New Orleans. The night before my visit I woke up in the middle of the night with the WORST pain in my jaw. In the morning I began my search to find a dentist who could fit me in as soon as possible. After a few very frustrating phone calls. I ended up calling Dr. Roby's office and speaking with the very kind lady at the front desk who was determined to get me in that day. A few hours later I had an appointment with Dr. Roby. The ladies at the front desk were made me feel better right away by their warm nature and sense of humor as did Dr. Roby. He was able to determine the cause of my pain and get me to a place that would ease my pain until I could see my dentist back home. I am forever grateful to Dr. Roby and his staff! read more

OMG... I'm traveling and visiting in New Orleans and needed a front lower crown re-cemented. Dr. Roby Kent explained everything as he worked on my tooth and when finished, did not charge me! This is an absolute first for me!!! I am retired with no insurance and just cannot believe this. Thank you so very much! Such a friendly office staff too! Excellent care... I highly recommend them. read more

Amazing!!!! I have been a patient for about five years. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. I have never waited more than 5-10 minutes to see the dental hygienist and my appointments are always completed within an hour! I really appreciate how conscientious the staff and Dr. Kent are of my time. I am so impressed with Dr. Kent and his office. I recommend him to everyone who asks! read more

While visiting the beautiful city of New Orleans, I chipped my front tooth. Not knowing who to go to, I went on Yelp and found the most wonderful dentist, Dr. Roby Kent. Thank you for getting me in right away and thank you staff for being helpful, polite and understanding. Dr. Kent did an amazing job !!!!! read more
