Dentistry Today is at the forefront of the dental field. We practice with the most progressive dental technology and equipment of today! We believe that classic, traditional dental care is enhanced through the application of cutting-edge technology. Equipment like the YOMI Dental Implant Robot and The Wand, allow us to give our patients a more gentle and precise experience at the dentist.
The Wand: Painless Anesthesia
No more terrifying syringes at your dental visit! The Wand is a computerized anesthesia system that controls the flow rate and pressure of anesthesia delivery for virtually pain-free injections.
This amazing dental technology is a staple of Dr. Leslie’s practice, and has been for over 20 years!
Many of our patients describe it as the #1 reason to visit our office.
The Wand is a vital part of our practice and employs our core values of providing gentle, patient-centered dental care, without fear or anxiety.
YOMI: Robotic-Assisted Dental Implants
We are ecstatic to have a state-of-the-art YOMI Robot in our practice, to perform guided dental implant procedures. The YOMI, created by Neocis, is one of a kind, as it is the only FDA-cleared robotic surgical system in the field of dentistry.
With added inoperative flexibility and unsurpassed accuracy, Dr. Barrilleaux is able to perform implant dentistry at an unmatched level.
The application of the YOMI Robot allows Dr. Barrilleaux to have more accurate and precise implant placement. It also improves our patients’ experience with shorter procedure times, fewer incision sites required, and less pain, all of which lead to a faster recovery time!
Our YOMI was even featured on al.com and WHNT News 19!

Planmeca PROMAX 3D Imaging Unit
Digital Radiography is the backbone of dental medicine. X-rays and advanced imaging provides our doctors with the data and technical perspective required to diagnose, treat, and create smiles. With the Planmeca Promax 3D Imaging Unit, we are able to take Panoramic (full mouth) 2D x-rays in one go, as well as perform 3D imaging. Our unit contains a CBCT Scanner as well, which allows us to generate 3D images of a patients skull and jaw. With a high degree of accuracy and medical-grade quality , our doctors use this imaging to determine the bone density and arrangement of a patients head and mouth bone and musculature. This technology is a huge advancement for Implant Dentistry and placing the most precise, error-free implants.
CT Scan
Dental cone beam computed tomography (CT) is a special type of x-ray equipment used when regular dental or facial x-rays are not sufficient. We use this technology to produce three dimensional (3-D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone in a single scan. This technology allows us to determine whether or not you are a potential candidate for implants.
