At Dentistry By Design in Richardson, TX, we believe in blending advanced technology with personalized care to give our patients the best dental experience possible. One of the most exciting and patient-friendly advancements in modern dentistry is laser dentistry — a minimally invasive, highly precise solution for many common dental procedures.
We’re proud to be one of the few practices in the area that has invested in three different state-of-the-art dental lasers, allowing us to offer a wide range of treatments with greater comfort, accuracy, and faster healing.
What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to perform soft and hard tissue procedures without the need for traditional tools like drills or scalpels. The result? Less discomfort, reduced bleeding, faster healing, and minimal to no anesthesia in many cases.
Procedures We Perform Using Dental Lasers
At Dentistry By Design, our laser technology is used for everything from cavity treatment to cosmetic gum contouring. Because different lasers serve different purposes, our investment in multiple systems allows us to match the right tool to each specific need — giving you superior care with optimal results.
Drill-Free Cavity Removal
Laser dentistry allows us to remove decay from teeth without a traditional dental drill. This technique is ideal for patients who are anxious about dental work, sensitive to vibrations, or simply want a quieter, gentler alternative.
- Minimal or no anesthesia needed
- More tooth structure preserved
- Reduced heat, noise, and discomfort
Frenectomies (Tongue-Tie/Lip-Tie Correction)
Laser frenectomies are commonly performed to treat tongue-tie or lip-tie in children and adults. Using a soft tissue laser, we can release the tight frenulum with minimal bleeding, no stitches, and a faster recovery time.
- Great for infants with breastfeeding issues
- Improves speech and oral function
- Precise and quick procedure with little downtime
Cold Sore and Canker Sore Treatment
If you suffer from recurring cold sores or canker sores, our laser technology can help. We can target and treat sores at the first sign of a tingle or outbreak, significantly reducing pain and healing time.
- Pain relief within minutes
- Speeds up healing
- Helps prevent future outbreaks at the same site
Cosmetic Gum Contouring
Uneven or excessive gum tissue can make your smile look “gummy” or unbalanced. Laser gum contouring reshapes your gum line with precision and minimal discomfort to enhance the aesthetics of your smile.
- No scalpel or sutures needed
- Faster recovery than traditional gum surgery
- Perfect for smile makeovers and crown lengthening
Why Choose Laser Dentistry?
Patients love laser dentistry because it often means:
- No needles or anesthesia for minor procedures
- Faster recovery times
- Less bleeding and swelling
- Greater precision, especially in delicate areas
- Lower risk of infection, as lasers sterilize tissue while they work
Whether you’re here for a routine filling or a cosmetic procedure, laser dentistry offers a more comfortable and efficient way to care for your smile.

At Dentistry By Design, we’ve invested in three different types of dental lasers, each selected for its unique ability to handle specific treatments.
