I had my first visit at 7 O'Clock Dental after avoiding the dentist for way too long because of real dental phobia, anxiety, and honestly, fear of being judged. From the very first phone call to the intake and exam, Dr. Tripp and his entire staff were patient, kind, and reassuring. They never made me feel embarrassed about how long it had been, which meant more than they probably realize. The office itself is beautiful and comfortable, which helped calm my nerves right away. Dr. Tripp took time to explain my treatment plan clearly, in plain English, without talking down to me. I left feeling informed, respected, and actually okay about coming back, which is huge for someone like me. If you're someone who's been putting off the dentist out of fear, this is the place to go. They truly care, and it shows. read more

I recently had to have 2 teeth pulled of which I'm terrified of the dentist. However, Lajonda assured me that girl it'll be over before you know it... we talked as if we were besties! The reassurance and the care that was shown was remarkable. Mrs. Darlene is a sweetheart as well!! SHELITA read more

I got my wisdom teeth extracted and it was painless--also very fast. Dr. Tripp is great!

Called with a broken tooth emergency. Was told I couldn't be seen until Friday, July 9. When I asked, stunned, if that was the case even for emergencies, the receptionist deadpanned, "Yes, even for emergencies. We have to leave availability open." Those availabilities are what I assumed were for emergencies like this. Now I'm beginning to understand why the website gives you a different number to call than the main line when it's a dental emergency. Perhaps I should have called that one but it's too late now. For an office that prides itself on being available I can't recommend. read more

I had my first appointment here today after switching over from a previous dentist. Scheduling was simple and everyone I talked to prior to scheduling was very sweet and helpful. They send all forms electronically and they can be completed right on your phone - super convenient. Due to COVID, no one is allowed to wait in lobby, instead you call on arrival and they let you know when to come in. I had Dr. Smith and she was very thorough in explaining everything before she did it. If there is anything that won't be covered by your insurance, they let you know beforehand and give you a price upfront before proceeding. Highly reccomend this dentist for anyone in the NOLA area. I'm glad I found them and switched over. read more

I had a wonderful experience at this dental office. The staff is awesome and their professionalism is superb. I'm not really familiar with any dentist in the area and I'm new to the city but they made me feel right at home. I was having an issue with my tooth and they got me fixed up, and in and out, in no time! I would definitely recommend Dr. Tripp and the Seven O Clock dental staff they are great!! read more

Very clean office and nice staff. After cleanings, they give you an oral-b toothbrush and not one of those toothbrushes that people with false teeth use (no offense to the offended). read more

The staff was wonderful and my dentist took good care of me. Plus they take Medicaid which is hard to find.

This is my 2nd visit to Dr. Tripp and on both occasions I was uber impressed with the professionalism and proficient service. The dental office is really state of the art with their innovative technology from checking in via iPad to the cleaning products used. The visit: I never wait longer than 5-10 minutes to be seen! Whoop!! The receptionist always checks your insurance in advance so you are never surprised with a co pay. Dr. Tripp is very thorough with his cleanings and always has very relaxing music playing to create a warm ambiance. Services provided include general cleanings, X-ray exams, teeth whitening and Invisalign. The swag bag: goodies include eucalyptus spray sanitizer, chap stick, toothbrush and paste of course with floss! Point of Sale: Most insurance plans are taken including Assurant, MetLife and Medicaid. As a school nurse, this is my preferred dental provider for my students and I also referred my boyfriend. Remember to get your dental checkups every 6 months with 7 o clock Dental! read more

I haven't gone to the same dentist twice until Dr. Tripp (been seeing him for years) and also I am a Leo. You may be wondering why being a Leo is important. Well, in true Leo fashion I am dramatic yet loyal. I kid you not guys...Dr. Tripp and my favorite dental assistant (Mrs. S) are so PATIENT because I am actually ridiculous. Blame my anxiety and irrational fear of the dentist. Their emotional consistency with me makes it difficult to tell if an appointment with me ruins their day or provides them with comedic content. I hope it's the latter. Nevertheless, I recommend everyone I know to Dr. Tripp because of the great experiences, knowledgeable team, supportive services, atmosphere, and quality dental care. Their COVID procedures are also very safe. read more

Let me start by complimenting the staff for being some of the sweetest and efficient folks in the dental business...they recieve five stars in my opinion. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for John C. Tripp III. After filling out paperwork about my medical history, I was promptly admitted to a patient room in the back. One of the assistants immediately did x-rays of my teeth and then began asking me the same medical questions from my paperwork. Again, I answered that I did have allergies and breathing problems including asthma; I had actually asked for the air freshener to be removed from the room I was in. Another assistant had come in to begin looking at my teeth. As she started, the other assistant came back into the room and said that the dentist wouldn't be able to see me that day because he was wearing cologne. He further told her that I needed to give at least twenty-four hours notice before coming there. I asked why that was. She replied that he would need to prepare for my visit. I asked to what extreme the man's cologne was; i.e. if it was just on his hands or on his clothes or what...I asked if he was able to just wash it off his hands; I wanted to work it out so that they got the business after having read all the good reviews online. The assistant left the room again quickly and stepped out into the hall. A few seconds later, I heard who I assume to be John C. Tripp III say loudly in an angry and beligerant voice, "No, I ain't washin' it off!" At that point, I'd heard enough and decided to leave. One of the assistants came back in the room and acted confused asking, "What's going on?" I stated that I was leaving as I took off the dental bib and laid it on the table. Both of the assistants seemed shaken by the dentist's outburst. As I stepped out into the hall and turned to go out, I noticed the man at the end of the hall begin to walk toward me in an aggressive manner. I entered the waiting room and asked if I could wait for my ride. The lady at the desk said that was fine. After leaving, I thought to call my insurance company to let them know what happened and to see if I could get the x-rays from Tripp's office. Within a week or so, an EOB came in the mail for my visit to Tripp's office. I was charged for the x-rays (which were done) and for a cleaning that I absolutely never recieved. As of today, I found out that United Health has paid for everything this man claimed he did. I have filed a fraud complaint with the State Board of Dentistry in Louisiana and with United Health. John C. Tripp III never even walked into my room. ***For people with breathing problems or any serious allergies: In addition to the dentist's usage of cologne, there are also time-release aerosol air fresheners in every room; that includes the operation rooms. My backpack and clothes were outgassing from the air freshners for the rest of the day. read more

I had been given a referral to 7 o'clock Dental from my military dentist. He was completely booked out due to COVID and I needed a cavity to be fixed pretty quick. The COVID protocols at 7 o'clock are very reasonable. You call when you've parked, they let you in and there are three socially-distant chairs in the waiting room. There was a pretty big hang-up with my insurance so I ended up waiting almost an hour to be seen. While I was there, every time I spoke to someone working there or I overheard them speaking to a different patient, their customer service was incredible. The greeting that they have to say EACH time they answer the phone is lengthy at best, but seriously every person in there was kind and upbeat. When I finally got to the exam room, multiple x-rays were taken by two different hygienists. Again, their customer service and "bedside" manner was amazing. Dr. Tripp came in to look at the x-rays and saw NO cavity. So after spending the better part of my morning there and thus finding out I needed no work, I left feeling dumbfounded at my original dentist but so happy to experience top-notch customer service with 7 o'clock Dental. read more

I was on my bachelorette trip in New Orleans and as the weekend started, my lumineer (veneer) on my top front tooth cracked in half. I was frantic and began looking up dentist offices that were open on a Friday at 3pm. Fortunately I came cross 7'oclock dental and made the call. The staff was courteous, kind and sympathetic. The made me feel as if my problem was theirs. They told me to come in as soon as I could and after an hour entering the dentist office I was on my way out with a smile on my face (a good looking smile!) and ready to start the festivities with my girlfriends. Dr. Tripp was excellent! I highly recommend him. I'm very nervous in the dentist chair and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Tripp and his staff!!! I'm forever grateful that he saved my special weekend. I even called him my 'tooth fairy' on the way out and gave him a hug! read more

7 O'Clock Dental - Before - cracked Lumineer veneer. After - Dr. Tripp's bonding work was seamless!! - General Dentistry Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Dr. Tripp and his staff were courteous, punctual with very little wait time. They answered all my questions. And when I had a cavity, assistant was the best with the suction. Seriously, that's the worst thing about the dentist I've experienced in the past. But for the first time I wasn't choking on my own saliva. I just got a cleaning and a cavity filled but so far, I am happy with their work, the employees, the waiting area and the overall cleanliness of the facility. I'd recommend Seven O'Clock Dental. read more

I highly recommend this doctor and office! Dr. Tripp is a lifesaver! I cracked my tooth in half at around 6 in the evening while in new orleans for a conference, frantically looking for a dentist that is open late i found this office on yelp. Called and explained the situation and was told to come in right away. The office was very 21st century and clean. The lady at the front desk was very sweet and welcoming. Dr Tripp was very knowledgable, understanding, nice and helpful. Stayed an hour late just to fix my tooth and charged me way less then I would have paid elsewhere! Thank you Dr. Tripp! If I lived in New Orleans you would definitely be my dentist! read more

If you're looking for a dentist in NOLA, Dr. Tripp is your guy! My first visit to see Dr. Tripp was Tuesday. I enjoyed my experience so much that my boyfriend made an appointment today. Now, let me just say that this place is great! Dr. Tripp has a very modernized experience in store for his patients. You walk in and check-in on an IPad which takes about 10 seconds to do. I waited less than 5 minutes to be taken to the back to start my appointment. I was completely caught off guard when the chair started massaging my back as I was serviced...Yes, you read correctly...Dental care meets massage parlor! He also has digital TV in the treatment rooms to help you feel at home. From the check-in to check-out, I felt comfortable and welcome. The staff is genuine and all-around nice. Everyone I encountered was pleasant and smiling. They truly seem to enjoy what they do here and it shows. One of the most impressive perks about this place is the hours of business. It is very accommodating for the working folks that get off at 5pm; when most other dentists are closing, Dr. Tripp' office is open for business until 7pm, where it gets its name from. Dr. Tripp is very thorough and knowledgable. He explained everything in great detail and showed me pictures on an iPad that showed the procedures that I would possibly need in the future. I came today for a cleaning and new patient exam... His cleaning skills are on point! He even cleaned under the gum line, which some dentists neglect to do. Overall, I love this place. I will be back for a root canal in a few weeks and will update about that experience as well. read more

Best dentist ever! Dr. Tripp and his staff always make me feel comfortable and welcome. Anytime someone asks me for a dentist recommendation I always tell them to go here! read more

I'm here visiting and Dr. Tripp took great care of me! It's always scary having to visit a medical professional away from home but Dr. Tripp and his staff did a great job at communicating and making me feel comfortable. 100% recommend! read more

Dr. Tripp was excellent. He was gentle and professional throughout my exam. My complaint is with the cleaning. I have a permanent bottom retainer, and the dental hygienist was extremely rough with cleaning and removed the sealant around it. I had to go back and ask to have it fixed because the rough retainer was now exposed to my mouth, and I especially didn't want to lose the retainer all together. Dr. Tripp was kind and polished the area, but now I am worried that my retainer is no longer secure. Immediately after my appointment, my retainer did come loose, and I had to have an orthodontist in the area repair it. Again, Dr. Tripp was extremely professional and covered the cost of my ortho fees, but it was still less than ideal to have additional appointments added to my schedule when I originally only wanted a quick cleaning. read more

Dr. Smith is the best dentist I've ever had. She took time to explain what she was doing and build trust. I strongly recommend her. 10/10.

I have been there several times but my last two visits where ok but the follow up was horrible I called and asked Darlene what ever happened to the follow to getting some work done in April of last year and November she was like I don't know I was upset because this was not the first time this has happened but I guess they don't care about customer service are losing customers I said well I may have to find another dentist she was like ok and hung up the phone read more

Dr. Tripp and is staff are friendly and accommodating. They worked around my busy schedule and I can't believe how satisfied I am. Thank you for being local and thanks for providing the ultimate customer service and professionalism. So grateful. I'm confident in my smile and overall appearance. read more

Very welcoming staff, and professional! I love to come here because I'm always in and out!

I'm so thrilled that I made an appointment with Dr.Tripp...omg my tooth cracked and needed to be taken out and YES, it's done no pain no fuss, I barely feel what he did in my mouth...it took him 3min and it was out and gone! 10stars if they had it! I'll be back!!! read more

Dr Tripp is the best! Very nice office, massage chairs, and friendly staff! They schedule appointments in order for the patients not to have long wait times, which is great! Definitely would recommend. read more

The staff could not be nicer & Dr. Tripp was wonderful. Most dentist I have been to make you come in for x rays & return for treatment. They did it all in one day. It saves me from taking any extra time off. I was in & out. read more

I wanted to put my exact Google review here as well 'cause I'd like for Dr. Tripp & his team to get recognition everywhere. Omg Dr. Tripp & his team are amazing!! I had a terrible toothache that radiated the pain from my left temple to the left side of my neck (the tooth was on the left that was giving me pain). I scheduled an appointment, came in early at around 3:20pm & my appointment was for 4pm ('cause I knew I had to fill out papers) & there were 2 other people that were ahead of me & the wait time was NOT LONG at all! I was seen in I'd say 30 mins & Dr. Tripp was very thorough & everything he explained was clear. His staff is also amazing; every single one of them. They make you feel so comfortable. So anyways, Dr. Tripp made his diagnosis & I chose to get my tooth removed. At first I was really scared 'cause I was in A LOT of pain but he explained to me exactly what he was doing during the whole process & of course gave me anesthesia. I asked if I'd feel any pain & he said no but I'll feel pressure & that's exactly what I felt. No pain, just pressure. My tooth was extracted in what seemed like 10 minutes. I was so shook! It felt so brief & I was kind of sad 'cause I thought it would be a long process but I'm also glad it was short LOL! He is very professional, quick & precise. I recommend Dr. Tripp to EVERYONE! He will take care of you I promise. read more

Outstanding service! Dr. Tripp and his staff provided me an exceptional experience! I highly recommend anyone to visit them, by far the best cleaning I've received! I can't wait to go back in six months! read more

The wait time was not extremely long, maybe 25 minutes. I assume Dr. Tripp may have run into an issue with another patient. Once I was called to the back, I was thoroughly impressed with the care and attention that was given. I enjoyed the massage chairs and Netflix as they were both distractions while he was working. Over all it was a good experience though. I would return and suggest people I know to visit this office. read more

I got in right away they didn't charge me for x rays cause I brought recent ones they could refer to instead but they couldn't give me my root canal because it was to complicated for them they said but gave me some pain management till I can go to a specialist read more

Unfortunately, I don't feel that I can trust Dr. Tripp. I came to 7 O'Clock Dental about two years ago as a new patient for a cleaning and checkup. I was told that I had multiple cavities that needed filling. I was thrown off because these were areas I'd been told for years by previous dentists were deep grooves/stains but not cavities. I was prepared for the fact that I might have a cavity since I hadn't seen a dentist in a little while, but multiple ones? I got an uneasy gut feeling from Dr. Tripp and wasn't sure I could trust his advice, so I did not get the fillings and ended up avoiding dentists altogether for two years. Not the smartest choice, I know. But I finally saw a new dentist a couple weeks ago and was told I had ONE small cavity. So what happened to the other ones? Surely they would have worsened in the last two years and been visible to my current dentist? I don't know if Dr. Tripp's advice was due to lack of knowledge or purposeful fraud, but either way I'm uncomfortable with the situation and would never return to 7 O'Clock Dental. read more

I went to Dr. Tripp to get my teeth whitened for my birthday. The procedure was fast, and the office was very clean. The best part was getting compliments on my pearly whites!!! I would recommend Dr. Tripp for teeth whitening and every day dental needs. read more

I am petrified of dentist. Dr Tripp and his staff were amazing keeping me calm and pain free during the procedures. I am so glad that they were recommended to me. read more
