Frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure used to correct tongue and lip ties, which can significantly impact a child’s ability to eat, speak, and maintain oral hygiene. Our gallery showcases the transformative results of infant and pediatric laser frenectomies, performed with precision and care. Advanced CO2 laser technology makes these procedures quick, minimally invasive, and typically results in immediate improvements.
Explore the before and after images to see the remarkable changes and understand how frenectomies can enhance your child’s quality of life.
Infant Laser Frenectomy (Lip Tie)
- Laser Frenectomy Before: Upper lip tie on a 3-week-old; note that the upper lip is restricted from flanging out, creating a poor suction while nursing or bottle feeding.
- Laser Frenectomy After: Lip tie release after use of CO2 laser. Note: no bleeding and immediate lip release.
Infant Laser Frenectomy (Tongue-Tie)
- Laser Frenectomy Before: Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) on a 6-week-old. Infant had a poor latch, was falling asleep while eating and suffered from reflux. The mother also reported pain while breastfeeding.
- Laser Frenectomy After: Tongue-tie release after use of CO2 laser. At 1 week, mother reported improved latch, less reflux and less plain while feeding.
Laser Frenectomy on 9-year-old (Tongue-Tie)
- Laser Frenectomy Before: Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) on 9-year-old patient. Patient reported a minimal range of motion with his tongue, had a difficult time eating ice cream and said he had never seen his tongue before!
- Laser Frenectomy After: Tongue tie release on 9-year-old patient. Note: no bleeding and immediate release of the tongue. Patient reported minimal discomfort, improved range of motion, and was very happy with the result.
