Gentle Precision, Lasting Health
The Laser Dentistry Difference
Modern Care That's
Gentler by Design
At Smiles by Mia, advanced lasers are at the heart of how we care for you. The Fotona LightWalker delivers advanced laser wavelengths for remarkable precision and comfort across dental, soft-tissue procedures and facial esthetics.
The result: many treatments feel calmer, heal faster, and require less anesthesia. Pair that with Dr. Mia’s unhurried, comfort-first approach, and even patients who have feared the dentist for years find a different experience here.
Featured Treatment
Laser Root Canals
A root canal treats infection or inflammation inside a tooth and helps save it from extraction. Laser-assisted treatment can improve disinfection in hard-to-reach areas and supports a more conservative, efficient process — eliminating bacteria, relieving pain, and preserving your natural tooth.
- Treats infection while preserving the natural tooth
- Can reduce pain and prevent infection from spreading
- Laser-assisted cleaning improves disinfection
- Often followed by a dental crown for long-term protection

Disease Treatment
Laser gum disease treatment is a gentle, minimally invasive way to address periodontal (gum) disease. Using precise laser energy, Dr. Mia removes inflamed, infected tissue from around the tooth and reduces the bacteria that drive the disease — often with less bleeding, no scalpels or sutures, and faster healing than traditional gum surgery.
- Removes diseased tissue and targets harmful bacteria
- No scalpel, no sutures, and minimal bleeding
- Preserves healthy tissue while encouraging gums to reattach
- Works alongside deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)

Cleaner, Healthier Fillings
Laser Cavity Disinfection
When treating a cavity, laser energy is used to disinfect the prepared tooth before the filling is placed — killing residual bacteria deep in the tooth structure that traditional methods miss. This supports a cleaner foundation, helps protect the tooth, and improves the bond between the filling material and the tooth — making for a stronger, longer-lasting filling.
- Targets and reduces bacteria in the prepared tooth
- Supports a cleaner, healthier foundation for fillings
- Improves bonding of the filling material to the tooth
- Makes for a stronger, longer-lasting filling

Reshape & Refine
Laser Gum Contouring
Laser gum contouring gently reshapes an uneven or “gummy” gumline to reveal more of your natural tooth and create a balanced, symmetrical smile. The laser sculpts excess tissue precisely while sealing as it works — meaning minimal bleeding, little to no downtime, and beautifully even results.
- Corrects a gummy smile or uneven gumline
- Precise sculpting with minimal bleeding and fast healing
- Often completed in a single comfortable visit
- Pairs beautifully with veneers and smile makeovers

Dentures
Dentures replace missing teeth and restore function, facial support, and confidence — as partials, full dentures, or implant-supported dentures for added stability. We take time to refine fit and support you through the adjustment.
Using our in-office SprintRay 3D printer, we can design and print both full dentures and implant-supported dentures right here in our practice. That means a more precise fit, faster turnaround, and easy, accurate reprints if a denture is ever lost or damaged — without long waits on an outside lab.
- Partial, full, and implant-supported options
- Full and implant-supported dentures 3D-printed in our office
- Restores smile appearance and facial support
- Personalized to comfort, anatomy, and goals

Dental Implants
An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a custom restoration above it. Anchored in the jawbone, implants offer excellent stability, can help preserve bone, and look and feel natural when properly restored.
- Strong, stable support for missing teeth
- Supports single teeth, bridges, or full arches
- May help preserve jawbone over time

Oral Cancer Screening
A quick, noninvasive exam that checks the mouth, lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, palate, and throat for unusual tissue changes — because many forms of oral cancer are easier to treat when found early. Dr. Mia includes VELscope full-mouth screening.
- Fast, painless screening during routine visits
- Includes advanced VELscope technology
- Important even without obvious risk factors
