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. Your Life-Like Smile Model - See all your results before
treatment
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”,

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.
