    Laser Frenectomy

    Laser Frenectomy

    laser

    Release a tongue-tie or lip-tie, gently.

    Our soft-tissue laser frees a restrictive frenum in minutes, with little bleeding and a quicker, more comfortable recovery.

    Tongue-tie and lip-tie

    A tongue-tie can affect nursing in infants, and speech, eating, or oral hygiene later on. A lip-tie can pull on the gums and contribute to a gap between the front teeth or gum recession. If you've been told you or your child has one, an exam tells us whether release will help.

    Why the laser

    The laser releases the frenum precisely and seals tissue as it works, so there's usually very little bleeding, often no need for stitches, and a faster recovery than with traditional surgery. See more about our laser dentistry →.

    Comfort and aftercare

    We numb the area and keep the visit calm. Most people are surprised how quick it is. We'll send you home with simple stretches and aftercare to support smooth healing.

    Treatment benefits

    A frenectomy releases a frenum, the small band of tissue that can tether the tongue (tongue-tie) or upper lip (lip-tie) too tightly. Using a soft-tissue laser, PARCS Dentistry in Las Vegas performs frenectomies quickly with minimal bleeding, for both children and adults.

    Questions?

    Here's everything you need to know before you reach out.

    Is a laser frenectomy painful?

    We numb the area, and the laser is gentle. Discomfort afterward is usually mild and short-lived.

    Can adults get a frenectomy too?

    Yes. Adults benefit when a tie causes gum recession, a gap, or speech and hygiene issues.

    Are stitches needed?

    Often not, because the laser seals as it works. We'll let you know what to expect for your case.
