Our Frenectomy Process

Comprehensive Evaluation

Our pediatric dentist performs a careful assessment to determine if a frenectomy is necessary. We’ll examine the tongue and lip attachments to see if they’re impacting your child’s feeding, speech, or oral health.

Personalized Consultation

We discuss the treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have. Our team makes sure you’re comfortable with each step of the process and understands the benefits of the procedure.

Quick and Gentle Procedure

The frenectomy is a straightforward procedure that can often be completed in a matter of minutes. We use gentle, child-friendly techniques, and numbing options to ensure your child is comfortable throughout.

4

Aftercare and Follow-Up

Following the procedure, we’ll provide you with aftercare instructions to promote quick healing and comfort. We may also recommend simple exercises to help your child adjust to the new movement and flexibility of their tongue or lip.
