What We Offer
ROOT CANALS
Don’t let old-wives’ tales about painful root canals stop you from seeing the dentist. The truth is that root canals are not painful; the agony you’ve heard about comes from the infected, untreated tooth.
For various reasons, the inside of a tooth (called the pulp), may become infected. When decay spreads to the tooth’s pulp, removal of the pulp becomes necessary to salvage the healthy exterior of the tooth. Once the pulp has been completely removed, the tooth is filled with a rubber-like substance. Then we apply a crown or filling to the newly-restored tooth for extra protection.
WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTIONS
It is very common in young adulthood to have wisdom teeth develop. In some cases, these extra teeth can erupt improperly. This may may cause pain and crowding of your existing teeth. Dr. LeBlanc can evaluate and discuss potential issues that may be caused by your wisdom teeth. It some cases it may not be necessary for you to get your wisdom teeth removed especially if they are not causing any pain and are properly positioned in your mouth.
BRACES
Braces are recommended to improve a patient's smile and facial appearance. Through orthodontic treatment, problems such as crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or underbites, incorrect jaw position and correction of jaw joint disorders.
Traditional braces include metal brackets and wires and are the most common braces used. They offer the most flexibility which typically results in faster movement of your teeth and quicker results.
DENTURES
Did you know that your teeth are necessary for proper eating, speaking, and your teeth also support your facial features? The lose of many teeth can change your facial structure. If you are missing most or all of your teeth, Dr. LeBlanc can help you by creating custom dentures that will help support all of these functions again.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Some people are born without all of their permanent teeth and others may lose them due to an accident or breakage. In any case if you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants might be a great option for you. In this procedure, titanium posts can be grafted to your jaw bone, providing excellent support for dentures, crowns, and bridges. The placement of dental implants will require more than one visit and several months of healing time in between those visits.
However, they provide excellent support and strength for your mouth and can last for up to 40 years.

JAW PAIN
If you suffer with jaw pain or headaches associated with teeth grinding, then we have solutions to help manage and alleviate that pain.
We use state of the art technology to fabricate and deliver a custom splint that can act as a cushion for your teeth to rest on. This will help alleviate some of the stress places on the jaw muscles from grinding your teeth. In addition, we also offer Botox injections at the site of the jaw joint. These injections help to relax the muscles and allow the jar to remain in relaxed state which in turn will help with tension headaches and night grinding of teeth.
CROWNS
A crown, sometimes referred to as dental cap, is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. Crowns are also often used to protect teeth that are broken or worn down, and can improve the appearance of teeth with severe discoloration.
