Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is one of the tools we use at Beautiful Smiles by Design to help provide quick, comfortable, and effective dental care. Although many dentists may still use a scalpel on your gums, our laser allows for bladeless treatment of gum disease, gummy smiles, tied tongues, and many other conditions that used to be treated with a scalpel. Laser dentistry is not just the modern alternative, it’s the gentle alternative.

Laser Dentistry Procedures

Laser dentistry is an advanced technology option for dental patients. In our office, we use a dental laser to perform many types of soft tissue procedures, including:


  • Gum disease treatment (periodontics)
  • Gum recontouring
  • Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) correction
  • Frenectomy of the lip
  • Biopsy of benign and pre-cancerous lesions


Our diode laser is very flexible, however, and can be used for virtually any soft tissue dental procedure.

Advantages of Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is becoming increasingly popular because it offers many benefits to you. These include:


  • Faster procedure
  • Greater precision and better results
  • Less discomfort
  • Less bleeding
  • Better control of bacteria
  • Shorter recovery time


Laser dentistry allows us to better uphold many of our commitments to you. The advantages of laser dentistry translate into gentle, convenient, and affordable dental care.
