Dr. Frank Sullivan

General Dentist — St. Francisville, LA

Dr. Frank Sullivan is a graduate and four-year scholarship football player at the University of Mississippi. He graduated from Louisiana State University School of Dentistry in 1997. Dr. Sullivan designed and built Sullivan Dental Center in 1999. The vision for his practice resembled a spa-like atmosphere with a touch of the outdoors that felt more like a home than a dental office. Dr. Frank knew early in his career that he wanted to do more, and education was the key. He started at the Nash Institute in 2005. Here he was provided the latest techniques and quality education in cosmetic dentistry.

In 2006 to 2007, he learned the Lumineers Technique and was the first dentist in Louisiana to offer this service to patients. Dr. Frank, being a life-long learner and forward thinker, took a course in 2007 in Reno, Nevada. This course focused heavily on sleep and how that translates into a healthy body. At this point, he realized that dentists have the power to change more than just a patient’s teeth, they have the capability to change the placement of one’s bite to improve breathing, sleeping, alleviate pain in the neck, improve posture, as well as create cosmetic changes such as fuller lips and facial symmetry.

Dr. Sullivan started his journey with the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies Global (LVI). He spent over four hundred hours focused in the area of neuromuscular dentistry. In 2013, he earned a fellowship for neuromuscular dentistry. This education, along with his studies in sleep apnea have opened the door to many services that Dr. Sullivan now provides.

Dr. Sullivan is board certified through the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry. He specializes in cosmetic dentistry, TMJ therapy and orthodontics. He has created award-winning smiles and received three international awards in this field. He offers full-face orthodontics, which combines all the areas he has spent time focusing on over the years. Full-face orthodontics focuses on the airway, the placement of the teeth and the muscles of the face. Dr. Sullivan is dedicated to continuing his education in order to offer his patients the best dental care available. He does not want to just be good at crowns & bridges, dental implants and porcelain veneers, Dr. Sullivan wants more! He is dedicated to changing the lives of his patients by eliminating debilitating symptoms such as headaches, jaw pain and neck pain. Dr. Sullivan is very proud of the practice that he has built.
