Dr. Milton L. Howard, DDS

Dentists in small Gulf towns don’t usually make headlines. They do, however, keep the molars of shrimpers and refinery crews intact. Dr. Milton L. Howard, DDS operates from a low-slung brick storefront at 418 Bayou Rd, a quiet stretch where La Marque’s grid meets the salt marshes.

Routine cleanings and fillings fill most days, but the practice also handles crowns, bridges, and basic extractions. Patients needing root canals or dentures can expect referrals to nearby specialists—common enough in a town where the nearest endodontist is a twenty-minute drive. The office sticks to what it knows: steady, unflashy care that keeps the local workforce chewing without drama.

Bayou Road itself is a mix of auto shops, bait stands, and the occasional bungalow turned tax office. The area doesn’t hum with tourists, just the steady rhythm of folks who need their teeth looked after before the next shift. Directions are simple—turn off I-45 at the Whataburger, follow the power lines until the road dead-ends into the clinic’s lot.
