What the record tells you
Kool Smiles, the trading name of David M Vieth DDS, A Professional Corporation, is an NPI registry record for a dental organization at 2706 Ryan Street in Lake Charles, Louisiana 70601. CMS issued NPI 1790017671 on 3 February 2010, and the practice last updated its own entry on 22 March 2019. That was 7 years ago, so treat the phone number and the suite number as unconfirmed until someone answers.
It is registered under 3 dental taxonomy codes: Endodontics (1223E0200X), General practice dentistry (1223G0001X), Oral and maxillofacial surgery (1223S0112X). That puts it in 3 categories on this site, led by general dentistry. A practice that registers more than one category is telling CMS it does more than one kind of dental work at this address, which is why it has a page here rather than a row. The same registered name appears at 35 distinct addresses nationally. That is either a group practice or a name common enough that unrelated offices share it, so ask whether pricing is set locally or by a parent company.
Lake Charles holds 30 registered dental practices inside the Lake Charles, LA area, which has 45 in total on the Louisiana side and ranks 7th in the state. 21 of the Lake Charles records also register general dentistry, so this is one of several local options in that category. Across the metro the mix runs general dentistry 66.7%, dental clinic or center 20%, oral and maxillofacial surgery 6.7%. The closest other registered practices are Churchman Family Dentistry (0.5 miles, Lake Charles), Rick Bercier DDS PC (1 miles, Lake Charles) and Center for Restorative Dentistry (1 miles, Lake Charles), with 2 more inside 1.3 miles.
On our figures a routine adult cleaning in Louisiana runs $90 to $135 cash and scaling and root planing $165 to $255 per quadrant, against a US average of $125. This practice's own prices are not in the registry and never will be: NPPES holds identifiers, not fees. Call (800) 920-9947 and ask for the cash price on code D1110, whether the exam and X-rays are included, and whether they run a membership plan if you have no insurance.

What to ask when you call
- The cash price for D1110, a routine adult cleaning, and whether the exam (D0120) and X-rays (D0274) are inside or outside that number.
- Whether you need scaling and root planing before a routine clean, and the per-quadrant price for D4341 or D4342 if so.
- Whether they run an in-house membership plan, and what it covers against what it costs a year.
- Whether they are taking new patients and how far out the next hygiene appointment is.
- The practice license, with your state dental board. An NPI is a billing identifier and proves nothing about licensing.
CMS NPPES NPI data file, August 2026, snapshot 10 August 2026. US federal public data (FOIA-disclosable, no charge). CMS NPI files. NPI registry records, status as reported by CMS in the August 2026 data dissemination file. NPPES is an identifier registry, not a license register: an NPI does not validate that a practice is licensed, accredited or currently open. Practices maintain their own NPPES entries. Every page shows the date the record was last updated; addresses and phone numbers are as self-reported and are not verified by us. This page describes a registry record. It is not a review, an endorsement or a check on Kool Smiles.
Price figures are our own, last verified April 2026. State averages are our estimates compiled from FAIR Health regional cost data and CMS Medicare fee schedules; the ADA discontinued its national Survey of Dental Fees in 2023, so no national fee survey exists. Treat them as a starting point and call two or three offices for an actual quote.
