Let's Get to Know the Doctors

Dr Eric Leber, why did you decide to become an orthodontist?

"I remember in high school assisting in my father's practice and loving it. My father always enjoyed going to work and kept the office environment positive and uplifting. I vividly remember the reaction of one of my dad's patients when she got her braces off. She was so completely overwhelmed with the transformation of her smile that she literally cried with happiness. At that moment, I was hooked! I realized orthodontics was the career for me."

Dr Eric Leber, what have you learned from your father about orthodontics?

"Wow, that is a great question! My dad has been my mentor both in my professional and personal life. He always taught me to treat patients like family and to work diligently in achieving that special smile. I greatly respect his comprehensive knowledge of orthodontics and 30 years of experience in straightening teeth. I am so lucky to be able to begin my orthodontic career with my dad at my side."

Dr Larry Leber, how does it feel to have your son join you in your practice?

"It's every father's dream come true! What fun being able to work side-by-side everyday with your son. Dr Eric is a conscientious, personable and a talented orthodontist, so it's been an easy transition. His enthusiasm is contagious!"

Dr. Larry Leber, what has changed with the addition of your son to the practice?

"We have implemented many changes since Dr. Eric joined the practice. The digital system of pictures and radiographs allow us to view images immediately, and the digital x-ray unit produces approximately 70% less radiation for our patients. New clinical techniques have been introduced, such as indirect bonding and a new bracket system. These new changes will provide our patient with less discomfort and faster treatment results."

Practice Philosophy

The purpose of our practice is to ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE for people who come to us for orthodontic care. We are committed to excellence in our results. Equally as important, we are committed to the creation of an environment that is open, friendly and a fun place to be. When someone leaves our office, we want them to feel better about themselves. We dedicate our time, talents and energy to this objective.

At Leber Orthodontics, we believe the initial consultations should be free of charge and provided as a service to the patient. If a parent is concerned about their child's teeth, we think they should be able to come in and have their questions answered without having to worry about the cost. In most cases, we take a complimentary panoramic x-ray at the initial consultation to aid us in determining the proper diagnosis for each case.
