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. For decades, Dr. David Brannen cared for generations of local families before passing the torch to his former patient, Dr. Buddy Trauth. A Mozella native and former Hahnville Tiger, Dr. Buddy even received his own dental care in the very same chair he now uses to care for his patients. Today, he combines modern dentistry with the hometown pride and personal care that have always made this practice feel like home.
​
In April 2026, Hometown Dental joined with Glaser Dental Studio, carrying forward another beloved dental legacy in our community. Dr. Pete Glaser dedicated years to caring for local families, and we are honored to continue the legacy he built. His daughter, Dr. Laurie Glaser, now serves as an associate dentist at Hometown Dental, bringing with her years of experience, a deep connection to the families she serves, and the same commitment to exceptional care.
​
Two hometown practices. Generations of families. One shared commitment to exceptional dental care. While our practices have merged, the heart of what we do remains the same. Hometown Dental is proud to honor the dentists who came before us and continue providing expert care with a hometown feel to the families of St. Charles Parish for generations to come.

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, too. We shop at Wal-Mart, grab lunch at The Table Cafe, and on any given weekday you can find us with our kids at various after school activities. When you walk into Hometown Dental, you’ll see familiar faces who genuinely care.
​
Every member of our team lives in 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, Dr. Laurie, or your hygienist who used to babysit your cousin, we treat our patients like neighbors- because you are.
