Treatment For Tongue Tie & Lip Tie
Frenectomy is a surgical procedure commonly used to treat conditions caused by a tight or restricted frenulum, such as lip ties and tongue ties. Using advanced CO2 laser technology, the frenulum is precisely and safely released, allowing for improved mobility and function.
We use a CO2 laser that emits a concentrated beam of light that precisely removes the excess tissue, resulting in minimal bleeding and discomfort. Using these innovative lasers also has a reduced chance of infection, faster healing, and minimal scarring. A frenectomy is a relatively quick and safe procedure, often taking only a few minutes, and it can provide significant relief and improved oral function for your little ones. No stitches, no sedation, and no anesthesia are required. They can start nursing immediately!
Some families see immediate improvement after the procedure, and others see slower improvements during the healing process as you and your baby continue to grow together. When your child has a tongue or lip tie released, they may have a period of adjustment as they get used to unrestricted movement. Before and after the procedure, we find the best results happen when we continue to work with lactation consultants to help with our growth.
