Laser Frenectomy

Laser Frenectomy is a gentle, precise procedure used to correct tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie by releasing the tight frenum using advanced laser technology. This procedure improves tongue movement, speech, breastfeeding in infants, oral hygiene, and overall comfort. Laser treatment ensures a quick, bloodless, and highly accurate correction with minimal discomfort and faster healing.

  • No bleeding — laser seals blood vessels instantly.
  • No stitches required, making the procedure comfortable and stress-free.
  • Very quick procedure — usually completed in 5–10 minutes.
  • Minimal pain and faster healing compared to traditional surgery.
  • Ideal for infants, children, and adults.

During the procedure, the dentist evaluates the frenum (the thin tissue connecting the lip or tongue) and uses a soft-tissue laser to precisely release the tight band. The laser works without pressure, cutting, or sutures, and sterilizes the area simultaneously — reducing the risk of infection. Patients experience immediate improvement in mobility and comfort.
