Dr. Lennon S. Coon

A native of Monroe, Louisiana, Dr. Coon made his way down to Baton Rouge to attend LSU, earning his degree in Biological Sciences with a minor in Psychology. Deeply rooted in Tigers tradition, he grew up a huge tiger football fan and still cheers for LSU football with the same pride. 

Following his time in Baton Rouge, Dr. Coon moved to the Crescent City to earn his D.D.S. from the LSU School of Dentistry, graduating in 2021. Today, he and his wife are proud to call New Orleans home, where they welcomed their baby girl.

When he's not helping patients smile, you'll likely find Dr. Coon keeping active and working out, or out on the golf course - a passion he picked up after deciding his body suffered enough injuries from contact sports. An avid local sports fan, he stays busy rooting for the Saints and Pelicans. 

Dr. Coon loves building genuine connections with his patients, bringing a warm, welcoming, and light hearted energy to every visit. He looks forward to meeting you and taking care of your smile!

I love being able to talk and build a connection with anyone who comes and sits in my chair. I have enjoyed many years in dentistry and when not at work I spend my spare time gardening, cooking, and working out!
