CO2GO Laser Technology in Bastrop, TX
Fear of pain and long recovery times keep many people from getting the dental care they need, and that delay can turn small problems into bigger, more costly ones. CO2GO carbon dioxide laser technology changes that equation for Bastrop patients by replacing traditional cutting instruments with a precise, targeted beam that treats soft tissue dental concerns with minimal bleeding, no sutures in most cases, and dramatically quicker healing.
At Spring St. Dental, Dr. Matthew Lassen, Dr. Brian Romney, and Dr. Meghan Bhakta use CO2GO laser technology to perform gum treatments, soft tissue surgeries, and a range of other procedures with a level of comfort and precision that traditional methods cannot match. Whether you are managing gum disease, need tissue work before orthodontic treatment, or want to improve the appearance of your gum line, our team tailors each CO2GO treatment to your specific needs.
What CO2GO Laser Treatment Provides
CO2GO laser technology works by delivering a precise beam of carbon dioxide light energy that is highly absorbed by soft tissue. This means the laser can cut and coagulate tissue simultaneously, which seals blood vessels as it works, reduces bleeding, and eliminates the need for sutures in most procedures. Published research in the National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery confirms that CO2 laser procedures offer minimal postoperative pain, reduced bleeding, and faster wound healing compared to conventional scalpel techniques.
For patients, that translates to a procedure that is noticeably quieter and gentler than traditional dental surgery. The beam delivers targeted energy to the affected area while preserving the healthy tissue around it, meaning less disruption, less swelling, and a quicker return to your normal routine after treatment.
Proven Technology and Predictable Results
CO2 laser technology has been used in medical and dental procedures since the 1960s, and it remains the laser of choice for oral soft tissue surgery because of one well-documented property: oral tissue is made up of 70–90% water, and the CO2 wavelength is strongly absorbed by water. That means the laser vaporizes targeted tissue with exceptional precision while leaving the surrounding area largely undisturbed. Spring St. Dental has chosen CO2GO as part of a broader commitment to technology that is clinically supported and genuinely useful for patients.
Our team can also combine CO2GO laser treatment with our 3D cone beam CT scanner, giving Dr. Lassen, Dr. Romney, and Dr. Bhakta a precise picture of your oral anatomy before any procedure begins. This combination of imaging and laser precision leads to more predictable outcomes and fewer surprises during treatment.

Comprehensive Treatment Applications
CO2GO handles a wide range of soft tissue procedures at Spring St. Dental, all with the same precision and efficiency. Common applications include:
Because the laser simultaneously sterilizes the treatment area, it reduces the risk of postoperative infection and supports cleaner, faster healing across all of these applications.
Comfort Without Compromise
Dental anxiety is one of the biggest reasons people put off necessary gum and soft tissue procedures. CO2GO removes most of the sensory triggers behind that anxiety: the laser is quiet, produces no vibration, and because it cauterizes as it cuts, many procedures require little or no local anesthesia. For additional support, Spring St. Dental also offers sedation options.

CO2GO laser treatment is a good fit for patients who have been told they need periodontal therapy, who want a cosmetic improvement to their gum line as part of a broader smile goal, or who have been putting off a tissue procedure because of concerns about the experience or recovery.
After a CO2GO procedure, most patients experience mild soreness that resolves within a few days. Our team provides clear post-treatment guidance so you know what to expect, what to eat, and when to schedule a follow-up to confirm that healing is progressing well. If you also need a professional cleaning or other services at the same visit, we can often coordinate that care efficiently to reduce the number of separate appointments you need.
