Are you experiencing difficulties with speech, feeding or overall oral comfort due to lip ties or tongue ties? At Marconi Dental Aesthetics, our experienced dentists can help alleviate those concerns through frenectomy. Give us a call at our dental office on (832) 626-7444 to make an appointment and get started today!
A frenectomy is a straightforward surgical process which removes a piece of tissue called the frenulum from an affected area, such as attaching upper lip or lower lip to gums or attaching tongue to inside of mouth. When frenulums become too tight or small for comfort, limiting movement in affected area and restricting feeding or speaking abilities for children. When this occurs, doctors and dentists perform frenectomy surgeries in order to allow unrestricted lip or tongue movement and improve oral motor control.
Initial Assessment – To ensure an effective procedure, our skilled team at Marconi Dental Aesthetics will conduct an in-depth evaluation to ascertain the extent of frenulum restriction and determine whether a frenectomy procedure is necessary.
Frenulum Removal – At Marconi Dental Aesthetics, we use advanced laser technology for frenectomy procedures in-office with increased precision. By using the laser beam, restricted or tight frenulum will be carefully and painlessly eliminated using our dental office laser system.
Tissue Closure – Once the frenulum has been surgically removed, laser technology may also be utilized to close and control bleeding at the incision site. Once complete, tissues should heal on their own without needing stitches depending on each individual case.
Post-Procedure Guidance – To promote optimal healing, we offer post-operative care instructions which may include recommendations for pain management, diet considerations and proper dental hygiene practices.
Follow-Up Care – To ensure our patients receive comprehensive care throughout the healing process and address any queries or issues, our team arranges follow-up appointments at our dental office to monitor healing processes and address any questions or issues that arise. This ensures that each patient receives comprehensive service from start to finish.
If you require a frenectomy, you could experience many advantages:
Most cleanings and exams last about an hour to an hour and a half, ensuring every step of your care is thorough and comfortable.
We start with a thorough exam to evaluate the lip or tongue tie, its impact on speech, feeding, and comfort, and decide if a frenectomy is the best option to improve mobility and oral function.
Once the area is numbed, we use advanced dental laser technology to precisely release the tight frenulum. This helps free the lip or tongue with minimal discomfort, reduced bleeding, and a quick procedure time.
The laser helps seal tissue as we work, so sutures are often not needed. We provide simple aftercare instructions, including pain management tips, diet recommendations, and oral hygiene guidance to support smooth healing.
We schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing, check improvements in speech, feeding, or comfort, and collaborate with specialists (such as speech therapists, when needed) to help you or your child get the full benefit of the frenectomy.
