About Our service

Frenectomies: Restoring Function & Comfort with Precision

What to Expect :

  • Consultation & Assessment :
    A dentist evaluates the severity of the tongue/lip tie using visual exams or feeding assessments (for infants).
  • Laser Procedure :
    A CO2 or Light Scalpel laser safely releases the tight frenum in 5–10 minutes , minimizing bleeding and discomfort. Most cases require only topical anesthetic .
  • Post-Op Care :
    Gentle exercises (e.g., stretching the treated area) and myofunctional therapy prevent reattachment and restore mobility.
  • Follow-Up :
    Monitor healing and track improvements in breastfeeding, speech, or dental alignment.

Benefits :

  • Infants : Improved latch, reduced feeding pain, and better weight gain.
  • Children/Adults : Enhanced speech clarity, reduced gagging, and prevention of gum recession.

Rare Risks :

  • Temporary swelling, mild bleeding, or (in <1% of cases) complications like poor feeding or airway issues.

Why Choose Laser? :

  • Less trauma, faster healing, and reduced infection risk compared to traditional surgery.

This service combines cutting-edge technology with compassionate care to unlock lifelong oral function.
