Our Mission Is To Make You Smile

There is nothing more important to our team at Taylor Dental than the improvement and maintenance of our family of patients’ oral health. We are the foremost authority on oral healthcare, and we use our cutting-edge technology and optimized processes to best deliver beautiful smiles to everyone who sits in our chairs. However, the rise of oral cancers over the last few years shows an alarming trend that we want to help combat in the early stages.

What if we were to tell you there was more at risk than just a beautiful smile? Oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers pose a risk not only to your pearly whites but your overall health as well. There has been an ongoing rise in cases of oropharyngeal cancer linked to HPV infection in both men and women, although these cancers are twice as common in males than females. No matter what demographic you fall into, oral cancer is always most effectively treated when caught early. We have the ability to help spot the signs of these cancers before they are able to progress into more serious stages, and we want you to be aware of these signs as well.

Common Symptoms of Oral Cancer

While the trained eyes of our doctors and team can look for signs of oral cancer during your regularly scheduled appointments, there is no one who spends more time with you than you. This means that you need to be on the lookout for certain symptoms if they are persisting for more than two weeks.

Some conditions to keep an eye out for include:

  • A sore or irritation that doesn’t go away
  • Red or white patches
  • Pain, tenderness, or numbness in the mouth or lips
  • A lump, thickening, rough spot, crust, or small eroded area
  • Difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking, or moving your jaw or tongue
  • A change in the way your teeth fit together when you close your mouth

If you observe any of these symptoms over a prolonged period of time, it may be wise to schedule an appointment to see us right away. As previously stated, oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers are much more treatable when detected earlier in the process. You know your body well, so if you think that there may be a deeper issue than a few red patches, we encourage you to trust your instincts and reach out to us for further evaluation.

Who Is at Risk?

Oral cancer can affect anyone, but there are some patients who may have a higher risk of oral cancer. People with a high risk of oral cancer may be more likely to benefit from oral cancer screening. Our goal is always to spot this condition early on so we can work to treat it promptly.

Factors that can increase the risk of oral cancer include:

  • Tobacco use of any kind, including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, among others
  • Heavy alcohol use
  • A previous oral cancer diagnosis
  • History of significant sun exposure, which increases the risk of lip cancer

If any of these risk factors apply to you, you may be vulnerable to an oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer. Keep a close eye on the previously mentioned symptoms so that you can be proactive in your treatment, and we can get you screened for the condition.

Oral ID-Cancer Screening

One of the best ways to detect an oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer before it progresses further is through the use of Oral ID cancer screening. Oral ID is different than traditional cancer screening because it has been engineered to catch precancerous cells that denote oral cancer. Most screenings are only able to detect oral cancer when it is much further along and much more difficult to treat. This allows us to enact preventative measures and figure out what your next steps are before your options become more limited. The further along cancer progresses, the more harmful it is to your overall health and wellbeing.

Oral ID uses tissue fluorescence to identify abnormal lesions, including cancer and pre-cancer, that may not be apparent to the naked eye. Fluorescence technology has been used in the medical field for many years, and in the dental field, it has successfully screened more than 25 million patients in the past decade.

We are extremely pleased with the services we receive!! Tempest and Que care for me and my family whom range in ages from 34 to 1. These ladies are extremely patient and knowledgeable. We’ve been serviced here for years. I must say from the time you are greeted at the desk til you exit the establishment you are treated like family! Thanks for making each dental visit a pleasant experience!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this wonderful feedback! Our team loves hearing that our patients enjoyed their visit! See you soon!
Marianne C.
All these great reviews are true. I am a nurse, and I am 62 years old. In today's world, the function, knowledge, efficiency, pleasantness is something I haven't seen in a long time. In fact, I'm not sure I have ever seen it. It was my first trip. And, at first, I thought it seemed super busy (which would likely result in rushed / poor care) and a bit factory like.............was I wrong!!! I have had good dentists and wonderful staff work with me over the years, but this is the best ever. I don't know how they have orchestrated this, but I will be back, for sure. My care team was: Ashley, treatment coordinator; Hanna, check in; Tempest, hygienist; Liz, assistant; and Dr. Hofius. Thank you for your care. See you in 6 months! Marianne Combs
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind words, Marianne! We’re truly honored by your feedback and grateful you chose us for your dental care. We're especially glad to hear that your experience exceeded expectations—our team works hard to provide a welcoming, efficient, and high-quality environment for every patient. We look forward to seeing you again at your next visit!
Alexandrea M.
Everyone here is very kind & knowledgeable. My hygienist, Jessica, is very thorough and gentle making my experience great every time. They always have a blanket ready for your cleaning, massage/heat chairs, and let you choose your tv channel. Overall a great experience every time I come.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that your visits have been consistently comfortable and positive. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Jessica. It’s always our goal to make every appointment a great experience!

Fantasy D. D.
Ok-this is gonna take a minute. Get ready to read. My teeth have been a huge source of shame for decades. Pregnancy, poor choices, genetics, and a myriad of other things had led to black, broken, missing, painful teeth and a deep rooted shame. I never smiled. All I thought about was my teeth. I began the road to fixing it ten years ago and ran into issue into problem into another issue over and over. Huge price tags, dentists that were doing unnecessary work, endless visits to be told to go to the next one and then they would be able to help. It was a nightmare. On top of already being riddled with anxiety about the whole experience it consistently went wrong at every level that I tried to fix it. I was an anxiety ridden mess (it took everything out of me mentally to even make these appointments. I was going through it. The teeth were an extension of that.), it felt like I had a witch’s curse put on me-nothing related to my teeth would work out. It’s written in the stars. After almost giving up and resigning myself to the fact that I would never smile or speak in a way that could expose my teeth-I finally ended up at Taylor Dental. LIFE CHANGING. Dr. Leblanc has been so professional but chill. He makes everything easy to understand and never fluffs it up. His work is quick and painless. The office is so nice, clean, comfortable and air conditioned. They play good music overhead. You have a tv to look at while they are doing their dental stuff.
He keeps it real but isn’t scary.
Brenda, all the girls up front - the entire staff without exception- are amazing. Always genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and ready to help. AND! they keep tabs on you in an unobtrusive way that is refreshing. I fell into a funk (notice a pattern?) and didn’t check in for a long time. They reached out to me and made me feel comfortable and confident enough to come back in and resume treatment and not feel judged. And I wasn’t! Life went on like nothing had ever happened.
I’m a professional woman with a thriving business and an active family, I’m not just pouting all day and letting my teeth rot. But, things happen. I wanted to write this novel to let others that may understand where I’m coming from know that THIS IS THE PLACE. Taylor Dental! Doc Josh LeBlanc! He is so great. (His wife is also a dentist there. I’m sure she’s awesome. Never met her. Her husband rules so fair to say she’s even cooler). Girl Power all female staff. 10/10-totes recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your fantastic review and recommendation! We're thrilled to hear that our staff made you feel comfortable and supported throughout your smile transformation. Your kind words and satisfaction mean the world to us.
Samantha J.
This is, without a doubt, the best dental office I've ever been to. The entire team is friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. My dental technician, Tina, always remembers my preferences, and my hygienist, Brenda, has helped me improve my dental health so much! Tempest is so kind and attentive, and the doctors, Dr. Garner-Leblanc and Dr. Leblanc, are excellent at explaining treatment options. The reception team is also top-notch, always ready to help with any questions. Such a wonderful team! I recommend them to everyone!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our entire team. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Tina, Brenda, Tempest, Dr. Garner-Leblanc, Dr. Leblanc, and our front desk team. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
