Our Services

Tongue Tie Treatment

Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) treatment forms the cornerstone of our specialized practice. Our comprehensive approach addresses tongue tie in patients of all ages, from newborn infants to adults who have lived with restrictions their entire lives.

Infant Tongue Tie Treatment: We specialize in treating feeding difficulties in newborns and infants caused by tongue tie restrictions.

Our gentle CO2 laser approach provides immediate relief for breastfeeding challenges while supporting healthy oral development from the earliest stages of life.

Pediatric Tongue Tie Care: Children with tongue tie often face speech development challenges, eating difficulties, and social concerns as they grow.

Our age-appropriate treatment protocols address these issues while ensuring comfortable, stress-free experiences for young patients.

Comprehensive Evaluation Process: Every tongue tie treatment begins with thorough assessment of how the restriction affects your specific functional needs.

We evaluate feeding patterns, speech development, and overall oral function to develop personalized treatment plans.

Advanced Laser Technology: Our CO2 laser systems provide precise tongue tie release with minimal discomfort, faster healing, and superior functional outcomes compared to traditional surgical methods.

Lip Tie Treatment

Lip tie treatment addresses restrictions in the tissue connecting the lip to the gums, which can significantly impact feeding success and oral development.

Our individualized approach ensures complete resolution of lip tie challenges.

Upper Lip Tie Correction: Most lip tie cases involve the upper lip, where restrictive tissue can prevent proper breastfeeding latch and contribute to gaps between front teeth.

Our laser treatment provides precise release while promoting optimal healing.

Feeding Improvement Focus: Lip tie treatment often results in immediate improvements in breastfeeding success, bottle feeding efficiency, and overall feeding comfort for both babies and parents.

Dental Development Support: By addressing lip tie early, we help prevent potential orthodontic issues and support healthy dental development as children grow.

Combined Treatment Options: Many patients benefit from addressing both tongue tie and lip tie restrictions during the same treatment session, maximizing functional improvements while minimizing the number of procedures needed.

Advanced Laser Frenectomy

Our laser frenectomy services represent the most advanced approach to tongue tie and lip tie treatment available.

This cutting-edge technology provides superior outcomes with enhanced patient comfort.

CO2 Laser Precision: Our state-of-the-art CO2 laser systems deliver unmatched precision in tissue release procedures.

This technology allows for exact treatment of restrictive tissue while preserving surrounding healthy structures.

Pain-Free Procedures: The advanced characteristics of laser energy provide natural analgesic effects during treatment, significantly reducing discomfort compared to traditional surgical methods. Most patients require little to no anesthesia.

Optimal Healing Conditions: Laser treatment creates ideal healing environments by sealing blood vessels and sterilizing the treatment area during the procedure.

This results in faster recovery times and reduced risk of complications.

Superior Functional Outcomes: Clinical studies demonstrate that laser frenectomy consistently produces better long-term functional results compared to conventional surgical approaches, including improved speech development and enhanced oral function.

Adult Tongue Tie Treatment

Many adults live with undiagnosed tongue tie that affects their daily comfort, speech clarity, and overall quality of life.

Our adult treatment services address these long-standing challenges with proven solutions.

Adult-Specific Symptoms: We treat adults experiencing chronic jaw pain, speech difficulties, eating challenges, and sleep-related breathing issues that may be related to tongue tie restrictions.

Professional Communication Enhancement: Adult tongue tie treatment often results in clearer speech and improved communication abilities, which can benefit both personal relationships and professional interactions.

Comprehensive Adult Care: Our treatment approach for adults includes thorough evaluation of compensatory habits that may have developed over years, along with strategies for optimizing functional improvements after treatment.

Career and Social Benefits: Many adults report increased confidence in social and professional situations following tongue tie treatment, as clearer speech and improved eating abilities enhance their overall quality of life.

Infant & Pediatric Care

Our infant and pediatric services are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of our youngest patients and their families.

We understand that treating babies and children requires specialized expertise and gentle approaches.

Newborn Feeding Solutions: We provide immediate relief for breastfeeding difficulties caused by tongue tie and lip tie, helping establish successful feeding relationships from the earliest days of life.

Age-Appropriate Treatment Protocols: Our treatment methods are carefully adapted for different developmental stages, ensuring that infants, toddlers, and older children receive care that’s appropriate for their age and maturity level.

Family Support and Education: We provide comprehensive support for parents throughout the treatment process, including detailed pre-procedure preparation, recovery guidance, and ongoing care coordination.

Pediatric Comfort Measures: Our kid-friendly approach includes specialized positioning techniques, distraction methods, and comfort measures that help children feel safe and secure during treatment.

Speech Development Support: For children with speech-related concerns, we coordinate care with speech therapists and provide guidance on maximizing the speech benefits of tongue tie treatment.
