There’s no objective way to say who is the best dentist in Monroe, LA. But at Bayou Dental Group, many of Dr. Finley’s patients think he is the best. He has a strong reputation that extends into neighboring states, and some patients drive from as far away as Dallas, Little Rock, and Houston to see him.
Dr. David Finley
Dr. Finley has strong credentials. Besides being one of only 60 dentists in the world who have achieved accredited fellow status in cosmetic dentistry, he is the only dentist to have been awarded medals in five consecutive years in the International Smile Gallery competition of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
