"We had such a great experience here for our consultation, specifically with Liz. Our consult was for my 12 year old son who is and has been extremely anxious to get braces. We have been told it is too soon due to the need to lose a few more teeth. During our consult, Liz being a mom herself, could see my son’s disappointment and addressed his comments and concerns just as I have with my son. Totally unscripted and unprompted, she reassured him the need to wait and convinced him it would be better to wait until his teeth were ready. While it was the same thing I had been saying, my son needed to hear it from someone in the field. She was so patient and able to read his facial expressions and respond accordingly. We will be back when the time is right. Very professional office and caters to the patient in the room"

Marc Fruithandler
Dr. Marc Fruithandler

“Doctor Marc” earned his Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition from Texas A&M University and went on to earn his DDS from the Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, TX. From there, he completed his residency at the LSU School of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in New Orleans. Although he loves his home state of Texas and its people, he fell in love with Louisiana and is now creating confident smiles for our patients here in Slidell.

Board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and an American Association of Orthodontists member, Dr. Marc doesn’t just “treat” patients with the unmatched skill of a professional and artist. He also truly, deeply cares for all his patients, living out Teddy Roosevelt’s famous philosophy of “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

When he’s not making a positive and lasting impact on our patients’ lives, you can find him enjoying our unique city’s food and coffee scene. He might also be down for a pickup basketball game—or you can try to challenge him to a dance-off. Just be warned: he’s a member of the legendary 610 Stompers, so you better be ready with more than your “floss.”

“I want to start out by saying all 7 of my kids and myself have been been patients of Dr Jack Deveraux and Smile Doctors over the years. I’m so glad we are, especially after my 13 year old son, the youngest of my 7, dove into the pool wrong on a Sunday afternoon knocking out his front tooth. Dr. Deveraux didn’t hesitate, he wanted to see him right away and opened up the office that night to wire his tooth back in place. He was so confident that he could save the tooth, which was so comforting and reassuring to this frantic mama at the time. I want to thank Dr Deveraux for going above and beyond to be there for us in our time of need…I’m so grateful for his generosity! We love and are so thankful for Dr Deveraux and our Smile Doctor’s team!”

“My visit to the Smile doctors was amazing. The doctors were very nice and they told me and my mom all the details about what’s going to happen when I get my braces. They showed me the different kinds of braces there are, and at the end of my visit they gave me a goodie bag and they let me pick out some snacks. Overall the visit was a 10/10.”
