WELCOME HOME TO HOMETOWN DENTAL
Founded in 2025, Hometown Dental is built on more than 40 years of trusted dental care in St. Charles Parish. After decades of caring for local families, Dr. David Brannen passed the torch to his former patient, Dr. Buddy Trauth. Dr. Buddy grew up here—playing ball at bridge parks, going on to play for the Hahnville Tigers baseball team, and getting his own dental work in the same chair he now uses, literally.
Today, he brings that hometown pride back to the office, blending modern care with familiar faces. Dr. Brannen and Dr. Buddy are working side by side to make the transition seamless. At Hometown Dental, we’re proud to offer expert care with a hometown feel.

Get to know the team behind your smile.
REAL PEOPLE. LOCAL ROOTS. (GET IT?).
We’re more than your Hometown Dental Team—we’re St. Charles Parish locals. We shop at Wal-Mart, grab lunch at The Table Cafe, and on any given weekday you can find us with our kids coaching t-ball or waiting in the Broadway Open Stage Studio pick up line. When you walk into Hometown Dental, you’ll see familiar faces who genuinely care.
​
Every member of our team lives in or around St. Charles Parish and brings their own hometown story to the practice. We’ve even added a fun touch to our team bios—hover over any photo, and you’ll see a snapshot from their childhood, most of them taken right here in St. Charles Parish.
​
Whether it’s Dr. Buddy or your hygienist who used to babysit your cousin, we treat our patients like neighbors—because you are.
