Austin dentist

Did you know that many of the dental services you and your family may need can be done at Austin Laser Dentist? From preventive dentistry to cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Dr. Helen E. Ragsdale has the knowledge and experience to provide all your family with a full scope of care, along with an excellent experience.

Dr. Ragsdale is known as “Austin’s gentle dentist.” This is because she sets aside adequate time to listen to and talk with patients. Her kindness and talent for patient care include individualized treatment planning, focused personal attention, and the use of advanced dental technology to ensure that your visits are all about YOU.

Preventive and Periodontal Care

You and your family probably brush and floss every day — we hope so! But in addition to your home dental care, everyone should have dental exams and cleanings twice a year. These appointments are a vital part of maintaining great dental health.

During your dental exams, we will provide professional preventative dental care. We want to prevent you from having gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. Our goal is to help you avoid the need for more dental treatment in the future. It’s not a great business plan, but we sincerely care about you and your family.

After a comprehensive checkup of your oral health, a hygienist will clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar in hard-to-brush places. Should you develop gum disease, and half of Americans do, our office can provide advanced periodontal care with deep cleanings and laser gum procedures.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Everyone wants a gorgeous smile, but sometimes our teeth have defects that keep us from smiling as often or as boldly as we want to. Cosmetic dentistry can change your smile’s appearance, and as a result, you’ll feel more confident about yourself.

At Austin Laser Dentist, we provide these cosmetic dental procedures:

  • Porcelain veneers
  • Gum lifts and crown lengthening
  • Teeth whitening
  • Invisalign®
  • Smile makeovers
  • Dental bonding and contouring

Restorative Dentistry

If you have missing or damaged teeth, the Austin Laser Dentist team offers dental procedures that can restore your teeth and your smile. These include:

  • Composite fillings
  • Porcelain crowns
  • Dental bridges
  • Full and partial dentures
  • Dental implants
  • Bruxism (teeth grinding) guards
  • TMJ treatment

Sedation Dentistry

You may be one of the millions of Americans who has put off regular dental care because you’re scared of the dentist. At Austin Laser Dentist, we use sedation dentistry to remove that fear.

We will help you relax and feel comfortable before, during, and after your dental procedures. Once each procedure is done, you will hopefully remember little or nothing about the procedure itself.

Dr. Ragsdale is a licensed sedation dentist, and with over 30 years of experience, she has the knowledge and skill to provide more than ambiance and a calm chairside manner. She can administer medication that will help your mind and body relax.

Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is revolutionizing dental care. Lasers are extremely precise, so an optimal amount of healthy tissue is preserved. We use a laser for deep cleanings to treat gum disease, as well as for evening out the gumline and crown lengthening. For deep cleanings, the soft-tissue laser removes tartar and smooths the surface of teeth below the gumline. Lasers eliminate the need for traditional scalpel and suture treatment in periodontal procedures. Patients endure little to no recovery time after laser periodontal treatment.

We also have a hard-tissue laser. It allows us to prepare teeth for veneers, crowns, and we even perform root canal treatment with this tool. Because of their speed and precision, lasers are preferred by dentists and patients alike.

Dr. Helen Ragsdale is a leading expert in laser dentistry. She is dedicated to using the most current dental technology to give you comfortable dental care and long-lasting treatment.
