Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry at Austin Laser Dentist transforms smiles through advanced procedures like porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and gum reshaping. Our team specializes in correcting chips, stains, misalignments, and gaps using minimally invasive techniques. Patients achieve natural-looking, durable results that enhance both aesthetics and confidence, supported by personalized consultations and cutting-edge technology tailored to individual facial features and lifestyle needs.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants restore missing teeth permanently by integrating titanium posts with the jawbone. Dr. Ragsdale offers implants for single-tooth, bridge, or full-arch restoration, ensuring stability, functionality, and bone preservation. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, facial structure maintenance, and a secure fit that eliminates the discomfort and instability associated with traditional dentures.
Laser Dentistry
Laser Dentistry at our practice delivers precise, minimally invasive care for both hard and soft tissues. Applications include cavity detection, gum disease treatment, and restorative procedures using BIOLASE WaterLase technology. Advantages include reduced discomfort, faster healing, and preservation of healthy tissue compared to traditional methods, allowing for same-day treatments in many cases.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation Dentistry addresses dental anxiety with oral sedatives and nitrous oxide to ensure a relaxed experience. Tailored for patients with phobias or complex procedures, it enables treatment completion with minimal discomfort and memory of the process. Our team monitors vital signs continuously, prioritizing safety while maintaining responsiveness during care.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom, removable aligners. This orthodontic solution corrects misalignments without metal brackets, appealing to adults seeking aesthetic and convenient treatment. Patients enjoy improved bite function and confidence with a process that allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines throughout the correction period.

I always enjoy my appointments at Dr. Ragsdale's office. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Ragsdale is thorough with her examination and Kerri cleans my teeth to perfection. I enjoyed the happy atmosphere in their office and Dr. Ragsdale has a great sense of humor.
