PATIENT REVIEWS

I couldn’t ask for a better experience and service anywhere! My daughter had a wisdom tooth emergency and instead of making her wait and suffer Dr. Bessonet went above and beyond to get her antibiotics and schedule surgery quickly. It was hassle free and everyone in the office was a pleasure to be around. Phenomenal customer service!!! They have made life long patients out of myself and family members. I will gladly recommend them to everyone!

5 stars!! I would recommend Ascension Premier Dental to my family and friends. The staff was very helpful, courteous, and professional. I would usually be anxious when I have a dentist appointment but the professionalism and patience that Dr. Bessonet exhibited made me feel very comfortable. He explained the dental plan to me in different stages so I would know what to expect. I am very pleased with the service I received.

Dr Bessonet and his incredibly talented, skillful, and professionally caring team is truly the best. From door to door, you will be amazingly careful for. My family and I have been patients since 2009, gratefully blessed to have this Dental team of professionals on our team to consult, advise, and provide the detail opportunities to the best of care. Thank you Dr Bessonet and team, we are grateful for each of you!

I am deathly afraid of going to the dentist and Ascension Premier Dental has been so nice and patient with me. I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences on my visits. I can’t thank the dentist and staff enough for easing my anxiousness and making things pleasant at my appointments. I would definitely recommend Ascension Premier Dental!

I am so very impressed with everything about Ascension Premiere Dental! I am a new patient and I am extremely happy with the services I have received here:) The office is so nice and clean. The staff is extremely friendly, kind and so helpful:) Dr Bessonet explained what to expect every step of the way and was just so kind! I’m so happy to be part of this dental practice! I highly recommend this dental office if you are looking for a new dentist! A+ service 🙂

My kids and I have been seeing Dr. Bessonet and his staff for a few years, and I have been completely satisfied with every aspect of the care we’ve received. The facility is top notch, and both Calvin and his staff are experienced, knowledgeable, and provide excellent care. I was apprehensive about my 12 year-old having a wisdom tooth extracted a few months ago, and Calvin put my mind at ease, got him in and out in no time, and he recovered beautifully. I cannot say enough about the quality of care we receive from Ascension Premium.

I have been seeing Dr. Bessonet for over 3 years, he did a complete check on all of my teeth. I am 62 and Dr. Bessonet gave me a plan for repair or replacement of some not to perfect teeth. Now 3 years later and finally got to a point where my teeth are getting better treatment than ever before. The reason for the 3 year span, other health issues like replacement surgery of both Knees, back surgery is down the road and so on. But as a new senior citizen, I have different needs of my teeth than when I was 30-40 years old. Last but not least, his dental hygienists, his staff, are very helpful and so nice to me. I can now plan trips without worrying about my teeth.

Dr. Bessonet and his staff were, without comparison, the most compassionate, professional, and perhaps most importantly, the most knowledgeable dental practitioners that I have ever visited. They spent ample time explaining my upcoming procedure and were very open about what outcome that should be expected. From the time I walked in their door, I felt like the most important person that they will treat and I know they treat everyone with equal paramount importance.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly from the time you step in the door all the way through the appointment. Very short wait and some of the most hi-tech, patient friendly equipment I’ve ever seen. Entire head scan in 30 seconds and super comfortable. Everything was clean and disinfected. 1st class establishment. I could not be happier!!

Premier is an understatement when it comes to Ascension Premier Dental. I have gone from dreading a dental visit to being comfortable with my dental care. On my initial walk into the door I’ve been greeted warmly by front desk staff. Casie unknowing to her has eased my nervous hesitation with her patience and understanding. Dr. Bessonet sets the bar to the next level. His knowledge, personal interaction and professionalism completes the overall quality experience. Highly recommend Ascension Premier Dental to anyone.

A typical dental office visit is usually an unpleasant experience. However, I look forward to my dental appointments at Ascension Premier Dental. The office staff is very friendly, professional, and accommodating. The office is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment which ensures safety and comfort. I am pleased with my dental care and will recommend Ascension Premier to all my family and friends.

I have been a patient here before a few years ago and when I came back and had more problems with my teeth because of the lapse of care, nobody made me feel terrible about that. The staff here is amazing, makes you feel so comfortable. As a person who has a fear of the dentist, they make me feel at ease every time I go. I would recommend this office for not only their excellent care of my mouth, but their compassion and friendliness of the Dr. and his staff.

Comfortable and gentle, the dentist Calvin Bessonet, is absolutely fantastic and professional. The dental assistants are just as amazing. The front desk staff are highly experienced in the management of insurance issues, and are so friendly and helpful explaining everything. I highly doubt I will ever be as satisfied by another dental office. 5 stars all day!

Very friendly atmosphere. Well within reasonable pricing. The chair I was in today seemed more fitting for a child and not a grown man. However the girl did get me a pillow to help support my back. The whole procedure went smoothly and I walked out without being able to feel my face, lol. Very Happy with my experience.

I was very nervous about my wisdom teeth removal. Dr. Bessonet from Ascension Premier Dental managed to remove my wisdom teeth pain free! I ended up enjoying my experience because of how comfortable they made me feel. They even gave me a blanket to keep me warm. The staff was very nice. I definitely recommend them for wisdom teeth removal & all for all your dental needs.

Staff was friendly and comforting. Dr. Bessonet was great, made me feel at ease. And I really appreciated that they took care of the present problem and didn’t try to discuss adding on other dental work such as a deep cleaning etc. like other places I’ve been to. I’m still nervous & scared about upcoming dental work but I feel like I’m in good hands at Acension Premier Dental.

I can’t express how happy I am with Ascension Premier Dental. After being in pain for almost a year, I can finally chew on both side of my mouth. Prior to going to dr Bessonet I had made multiple visits to two separate dentists, with each visit making my problem worse. Dr Bessonet figured out my tooth was cracked at the first appointment, and after he did my root canal I can finally eat with no pain. Five stars! TLDR: Great dentist!

Everyone there are nice and friendly. The dental assistant listens to what you have to say about sensitive areas in your mouth so she is very careful. The experience is always fast and good advice is given. Very professional. I would recommend Ascension Premier Dental to anyone who is looking for great dental care.

Dr. Bessonet is the most versatile and skillful dentist I’ve been to. Besides the routine procedures, he has done my periodontics, oral surgery and implants. It is apparent to me that he is very keen on continuing education and certifications to better serve his patients. The staff is always cheerful and helpful. I believe Ascension Premier Dental is a cut above most.

I have always hated going to the dentist because of the gum disease that I suffer from. Every visit was painful, costly and made we want to never go back. When the issue became so sever that I was loosing teeth and my self confidence I said “Enough is Enough”! My mother actually came across the add for Ascension Premier Dental and said I should go check it out. The treatment I really needed was their speciality. On my first visit I was handled with such care that I new this was my new home for all of my oral care. Every visit I became more comfortable with the staff and with my oral care journey. It has not been an easy one but it’s a journey I wouldn’t want to take with any one else than Dr. Bessonet and his amazing staff.

My experience at Ascension Premier Dental has been really great! The team is super friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. I work in manufacturing, so my schedule can be erratic on occasions- Dr. Bessonet’s Team at Ascension Premier Dental was very accommodating, and even scheduled one of my procedures over a weekend. I had a bone graft and implant placed after going several years with a removable partial; I could not be more thrilled with my outcome!!! The process was explained in detail and a treatment plan provided to me up front. Dr. Bessonet did an amazing job at communicating next steps throughout the process and was very meticulous with my graft and implant placement, ensuring optimal cosmetic results!!! The team at Ascension Premiere Dental has been wonderful to me AND my family. My two sons are handled with such care and compassion, that even stressful events such as extractions go well! We will continue as clients of Dr. Bessonet’s and highly recommend his practice!

Due to an accident I lost small fragments of my front four teeth. Thanks to Ascension Premier Dental I can now smile without being ashamed; his skills in bonding allowed me to have my old smile back. Also, since he is a perfectionist the procedure has continued to last and look as good as the day I got them fixed. This is also the place i recently got my wisdom teeth out, which did not cause any pain. I would not recommend any other dentist or team of hygienist.

Dr. Bessonet and his staff deliver high quality care in a professional environment. As soon as you walk in the door, you immediately feel at home. The staff ensure every patient receives immediate care upon arrival. I have known Dr. Bessonet for more than fifteen years and would highly recommend his practice to any prospective patient in southeast Louisiana. Best Regards, Joseph Britt

14 years with Ascension Premier Dental & I’m still so pleased with the excellent service I always receive. From the beautifully decorated lobby that feels cozy & at home & the professional/friendly staff that greet you warmly every time you visit !! Thanks to my dental hygenist who always explains every lab, cleaning, etc & has my mouth feeling squeeky clean every time she’s done ( & who always brings me a “warm blanket” & has my dental chair set just right with the TV above my dental chair to make me feel all so comfy & makes you feel “right @home,” & feel as though you’re not at a “dental visit”) And most important of all, Dr. Bessonet bedside manner is the absolute best !! He always asks “How are you feeling?” & genuinely wants to know how you’re feeling. He always takes the time to go over my dental care step by step & explains what’s best in laymens terms so I can get a full understanding as a patient. That means a lot to me as a patient to have a dentist & staff at APD that cares !! Job well done as always APD staff !! ♥️

I recently moved to Texas, but I will schedule my in town work trips around my annual cleaning appointments. My hygienist (Brandi) is very thorough with her cleanings, but gentle enough to keep you relaxed. She makes going to the dentist office a more comfortable experience. Dr. Bessonet keeps you informed on what you should be doing to maintain a healthy mouth, and never tries to pressure you into doing procedures that aren’t necessary. The entire staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, they have always been about to quickly assist us when we had questions or emergencies.

I can’t thank Dr. Bessonet and his staff enough for taking me in as a new patient while back home visiting family. I had a horrible toothache for 2 days and I was terrified no one would take me in being 30 weeks pregnant and a new patient at the time. I called, and I was in a chair being treated within 2 hours! The staff is so friendly and treats you just like family! I highly recommend Ascension Premier Dental to anyone looking for a new primary dentist. 5 stars

Dr Bessonet figured out my tooth was cracked at the first appointment, and after he did my root canal I can finally eat with no pain. He also fixed a gap in my bite that wasn’t allowing me to close my mouth completely on one side. Five stars! TLDR: Great dentist!
