Laser Frenectomies to Treat Tongue and Lip Ties in Patients of All Ages

When it comes to oral health, addressing issues such as tongue ties and lip ties is crucial for individuals of all ages. These conditions, often overlooked, can lead to a myriad of problems, from latching and feeding difficulties in infants to speech impediments and oral health issues in teens and adults. Fortunately, advancements in dental technology have introduced a game-changing solution – laser frenectomies. North Raleigh Periodontics is at the forefront of providing this innovative treatment, offering comprehensive care for patients across the age spectrum.

Infants and Latching Issues

For newborns and infants, proper latching and feeding are essential for their growth and development. Tongue ties and lip ties can disrupt this process, making breastfeeding a challenging and painful experience for both mother and child. Laser frenectomies offer a minimally invasive solution to release these ties, allowing infants to latch more effectively and improve their feeding experience. At North Raleigh Periodontics, our experienced team ensures a safe and comfortable procedure for your little one, providing relief and enhancing their overall well-being.

Teens and Adults: Speech and More

Tongue ties and lip ties are not limited to infancy; they can persist into adolescence and adulthood. In these stages, these conditions can lead to speech impediments, spacing issues, and even recession of the gums. Laser frenectomies offer a precise and quick solution to release these ties, allowing for improved speech clarity and pronunciation. Moreover, addressing these ties can aid in preventing dental complications like gum recession and spacing problems, ultimately enhancing oral health and aesthetics.

The Laser Advantage

One of the standout features of laser frenectomies is the use of advanced laser technology. This technique is virtually painless, reduces the risk of infection, and minimizes bleeding, making it a safer and more comfortable alternative to traditional frenectomies. At North Raleigh Periodontics, our highly skilled professionals utilize state-of-the-art laser equipment to perform these procedures with precision, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
