Meet Aimee Russo-Mounger, DDS
Your Friendly Baton Rouge Dentist
Dr. Aimee Russo-Mounger was born in New Roads, LA. She attended the LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans and graduated with her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree in 1998. Dr. Russo is interested in helping patients to have beautiful smile that is functional and healthy. She collaborates with other dentists around the world in groups that are advancing dentistry globally.
She regularly goes over and above the required hours of continuing education and stays on top of the latest developments in the field of dentistry. In addition to traditional dentistry, Dr. Russo is one of the top providers of Invisalign in Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas. She provides Invisalign orthodontic therapy to help patients function and breath better as well as have beautiful straight teeth. She is also one of only a few dentists who treat Sleep apnea conditions and alleviates the need for the CPAP machine! Many patients benefit from switching to an oral appliance for sleep apnea because they are comfortable and easier to sleep with, ensuring a better night’s sleep. Also, an added extra service at The Smile Spa is Botox-like relaxants and facial fillers to enhance a patient’s beautiful smile.
She is a member of the American Dental Association, the Louisiana Dental Association, The Greater Baton Rouge Dental Association, the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, and the American Academy of Clear Aligners. Dr. Russo serves as a community leader with Cangelosi Dance Project, The Big Buddy program, Dancing with a Cause in Ascension Parish, as well as Susan G. Komen’s cancer projects.

More About Dr. Russo-Mounger
Dr. Russo was the first dentist in Baton Rouge to open a Dental Spa in 2004. At the Smile Spa, they incorporate complementary spa amenities at every visit for all the patients. The goal is to make your dental experience more comfortable and enjoyable than you ever thought possible. In 2017 Dr. Russo did it again! Something unprecedented for this area, becoming the FIRST to add a licensed laser aesthetician to the practice to enhance the beautiful smiles she creates with beautiful skin.
Family
Dr. Russo is very close to her family. Her Mom, Patsy, began working at The Smile Spa after she retired from the Pointe Coupee School board. She still comes in sporadically to help out when she is not playing with all her grandchildren. Her Father is a retired Pharmacist that still does some relief work. Both parents along with her and her two siblings are very loving, christian, and hard-working.
Dr. Russo’s brother, Michael, works in the Baton Rouge City Police Department, Motors Division. As of January 2020, our family is so happy to have the “baby” sister, Dr. Alexis Russo, and her boys back in Baton Rouge practicing with her sister at the Smile Spa. Dr. Russo has 4 nephews that she adores, Harlen, Hudson, Enzo, and Eli.
When she is not making people’s smiles fabulous, Dr. Russo along with her husband, Marcus, and their two sons, Spencer and Scout, enjoy spending time on their boat and at the beach. They also love snow skiing and traveling to see new places and new adventures. She also enjoys returning to her first LOVE, Dance, and performing in many local events and performances for fundraisers and just for fun. She is pictured above as the 2018 Judge’s Choice Dance Winner for Dancing for a Cause. The Fundraiser was to benefit The Arc of Ascension.
