What is Laser Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a simple procedure that releases the small band of tissue (called a frenum) that can restrict movement of the tongue or upper lip. When this tissue is too tight, it can interfere with breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, speech development, and even oral hygiene.
Using advanced laser technology, we gently release the restricted tissue in a matter of seconds. Most children experience immediate improvement in movement and function.
Benefits of Early Dectection
Identifying problems early can:
- Virtually no bleeding or stiches
- Helps address issues like misaligned teeth and promotes jaw development
- Minimal post-operative discomfort due to high accuracy
- Rapid and quick return to feeding and speech-training for your child
- Improved breastfeeding due to latch improvement
- Boost confidence by addressing visible concerns during formative years

What to Expect

Your infant will be safely swaddled or your older child will sit comfortably while we apply a topical numbing gel. The laser release takes just seconds. Parents can stay by their child’s side throughout.
We’ll show you simple stretching exercises to prevent reattachment and provide tips for managing any mild discomfort. Most children nurse, eat, or play normally within hours.
We include a complimentary follow-up visit to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
