Dr. Harry Batt

Dentists in Metairie tend to cluster along the long commercial spine of Houma Boulevard, where traffic hums and sidewalks stay busy. The strip is predictable—pharmacies, banks, and the occasional po-boy shop—but the consistency makes it easy to find what you need without hunting through side streets. Dr. Harry Batt keeps an office here, tucked into a low-slung building at 3939 Houma Blvd # 11, a spot that blends into the rhythm of the neighborhood without drawing extra attention.

Routine cleanings, fillings, and the occasional crown keep most practices afloat, though some now push cosmetic work to fill gaps in the schedule. The category hasn’t changed much over the years, but the tools have—quieter drills, digital X-rays, and the steady creep of aligners that promise straighter teeth without metal. Patients still show up for the basics, though, and the basics haven’t moved from the core of what any dentist offers.

If you’re due for a check-up or need something more involved, the number to call is (504) 887-3311. No frills, just the usual mix of preventive care and minor repairs that most people put off until the last possible moment. The office handles everything from simple extractions to the occasional root canal, though you won’t know the full menu until you ask.

For directions, the map is here. If you’re already on Houma, you’ve probably driven past it a dozen times without noticing. That’s Metairie for you—nothing flashy, just another door in a row of them.
