Laser Frenectomy

A frenectomy is a simple procedure to release a "frenum"—a band of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth (tongue-tie) or the lip to the gums (lip-tie). When this tissue is too tight, it can restrict movement.

Why Treat It?

• Infants: Can cause breastfeeding difficulties, poor latch, and slow weight gain.
• Children: Can affect speech development and oral hygiene.
• Orthodontics: Can cause gum recession or gaps between front teeth.

The Laser Difference

Using a dental laser instead of scissors or scalpels offers major benefits:

• Seconds to perform: The procedure is incredibly quick.
• No Bleeding: The laser seals blood vessels instantly.
• No Stitches: No sutures are needed.
• Immediate Recovery: Babies can often feed immediately after the procedure.
