Laser-Assisted Frenectomy

Laser-Assisted Frenectomy for Tongue Tie, Lip Tie, and Frenum Restrictions

A laser-assisted frenectomy is a precise periodontal procedure used to release or reshape a tight frenum, the small band of tissue that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gums or surrounding oral structures. When this tissue is too tight, thick, or positioned too close to the teeth, it may contribute to tongue tie, lip tie, gum recession, spacing between the front teeth, speech concerns, feeding challenges in younger patients, or discomfort during normal oral movement. At Moon Implants & Perio, Dr. Moon evaluates the frenum attachment, oral function, gum health, tooth position, and patient symptoms before recommending laser frenectomy treatment. The goal is to improve mobility, reduce tissue tension, and support healthier oral function with a conservative, carefully planned approach.

Gentle Frenectomy Laser Treatment With Faster Healing and Minimal Tissue Trauma

Laser frenectomy treatment uses focused dental laser energy to release the restricted tissue with precision. Compared with traditional surgical techniques, the laser can help seal the tissue as it works, which may reduce bleeding, swelling, and the need for stitches in many cases. This makes frenectomy laser treatment useful for children, teens, and adults when a tight frenum is affecting comfort, speech, orthodontic stability, gum health, or daily function. For patients or parents seeking tongue tie treatment, lip tie treatment, or laser infant frenectomy evaluation, Dr. Moon provides a detailed exam and explains whether treatment is appropriate. After the procedure, patients receive clear aftercare instructions, and some cases may benefit from coordinated exercises, speech therapy, feeding support, or orthodontic guidance depending on the reason for treatment.
