No-Drill Dentistry
Large cavities and even smaller pockets of decay can now be removed without anesthesia (numbing) or the drill. Imagine your visit without the noise, heat and vibrations of a conventional dental drill.
By using a small, compressed-air instrument, we remove decay with the quiet spray of safe micro particles. We are also able to use this device in many adult tooth restoration procedures. The fine sculpting technique and health managing characteristics of this instrument helps Dr. LeBlanc create “self-portrait” works of art that are healthier and lasting.

Intra-oral Camera
Besides our written documentation and conversations, we can now add visual data to your resources for determining the care that’s right for you. The intra-oral camera employs the latest video technology. It allows Dr. LeBlanc to show you your teeth as he is examining them and diagnose the condition of your smile in ways that were not possible before.
Dr. LeBlanc can explain your dental situation to you as you see it. You then understand better how current and future dental care will affect the overall health of your smile. Now, deciding on what is best for you is a more objective experience.

Safe Environment
Since patient health is our main emphasis, a sterile environment during your exam is important. Every hand instrument, that isn’t disposed of after its use, is heat-sterilized, also known as autoclaving. The American Dental Association recommends autoclaving. We wear masks and gloves during exams and procedures.
Instruments and exam room fixtures, that we touch or a patient touches, are continually cleaned and sterilized. Furthermore, we filter and treat all our operatory and exam room water lines to remove all bacteria present. Every realistic effort is made to create a safe and “germ-free” environment during your treatment.

No-Scalpel Surgery
Excessive gum tissue or varying gum tissue height can produce a less-than-confident smile. Gum tissue contouring is especially helpful to accident patients who have damaged gums. To correct these conditions, we use a no-scalpel surgery method called electro surgery or radio wave surgery.
Electro surgery is similar to laser surgery, without the high-intensity heat that’s generated from a laser. Electro surgery eliminates the discomfort of the scalpel, does not cause bleeding, and is efficient at producing results without tissue inflammation. Don’t let gum tissue concerns hinder the expression of your positive attitude.

Master Diagnostic Model (MDM)
An exquisite, laboratory-crafted, 3-dimensional model can be fabricated to show your new smile in natural color and translucency. You can also see how your new smile will improve any bite problems you may have.
With an MDM, you are empowered to preview, give suggestions, make changes, and approve your personal "Smile Plan" before any procedures begin. Not only can you see the excellent quality of the esthetic changes in your new smile, the MDM also gives you significant assurances of feel and function.

Cosmetic Imaging
With digital photography and computer imaging, you can now see what your new smile will look like before any dental work is done. With this new technology, you can see accurate simulations of whitening, bonding, closing spaces, “instant orthodontics”, and other cosmetic procedures. You don’t have to speculate what your new smile would look like – you will know! To schedule a “complimentary consultation”, click on the link below.

CAESY (Interactive Patient Education System)
With this DVD interactive program, you can learn more about the various dental procedures and treatments available to patients. This program allows you to see high quality photos and graphic illustrations on a large TV monitor. You will have a greater understanding of any procedure or treatment that you are interested in and can review the information as many times as you like.

DIAGNOdent (Computerized Laser Cavity Detection)
DIAGNOdent is a diagnostic laser that enables the dentist to recognize minute changes in the tooth that are often difficult to detect. By diagnosing early, minimal invasive therapy is possible. If it is decided that therapy can be postponed, your dentist will be able to monitor the problem without having to subject you to repeated x-rays. With better early diagnosis of problem areas, treatment options improve.
