It’s in our DNA.

For more than a century, the Ory name has been trusted in LaPlace dentistry. It all began in 1906 with Dr. Oscar Joseph Ory Sr., whose passion for helping others set the tone for generations to come. His son, “Doc” Ory Jr., carried on the calling through the 1980s, and in 1969 Dr. Robert Ory Sr. founded the current W. 5th St. practice. Today, he shares that same office with his sons, Dr. Robert Jr. and Dr. Benjamin—both proud LSU Dental School graduates.

Patients often smile at the chance to say they’ve been treated by four generations of Orys. But for the family, the greatest reward is working side by side, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another. As Dr. Robert Sr. says, “It’s a gift to be together and leave a good legacy.” For the Orys, dentistry isn’t just a career—it’s a family tradition rooted in love, learning, and service to the community.

Compassionate Care with Specialized Expertise
Our practice offers the full spectrum of general dentistry for the entire family, but what truly sets us apart is our specialized expertise in Dental Oncology. Since 2008, our team has trained through MD Anderson Cancer Center to care for patients facing the unique oral health challenges of cancer treatment.

We partner closely with oncologists and medical specialists to:

• Restore oral health before, during, and after treatment

• Relieve side effects of radiation and chemotherapy

• Provide dental clearance for life-saving transplants

Whether it’s a routine cleaning or advanced oncology care, our mission is the same: to provide compassionate, personalized dentistry that honors our family legacy while putting your smile and well-being first.
