Frenectomy for infants and adults.
A tight frenulum can affect feeding in infants and speech, dental, or sleep health in adults. We release it precisely — typically in a single short visit — with a board-certified oral surgeon performing the procedure.

Same-day clarity. No surprises.
Every patient gets a written plan with 3D imaging before anything is scheduled. You will know what is happening and what it costs before you commit.
- Step 1
Evaluation
A board-certified oral surgeon evaluates the frenulum and rules out other causes. For infants, we look at feeding and latch. For adults, we look at speech, gum recession, and sleep symptoms.
- Step 2
Release
The procedure itself is quick — typically 20–40 minutes. We use precise instruments to release the tight tissue cleanly. Infants get topical anesthesia; adults can choose local or IV sedation.
- Step 3
Aftercare guidance
Detailed home-care instructions — stretches, feeding tips, follow-up timing. For infants, we coordinate with your lactation consultant. For adults, we connect you with myofunctional therapy if needed.
- Step 4
Follow-up
A one-week check-in to make sure the release healed cleanly and is functioning as expected. The same surgeon you met for the consult.
A different kind of oral-surgery experience.
Trained at the level required to operate in a hospital. Delivered in a private, comfortable office.
Board-Certified Surgeon
Frenectomy is often performed by general dentists or pediatricians. Yours is performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with hospital-level training.
Anxiety-Friendly Options
For adults, IV sedation is available — you can sleep through it. For infants, gentle topical and precise instrumentation keep the visit calm.
Newborn Through Adult
We see brand-new infants for feeding issues and adults whose tie was never addressed. Same surgeon, calibrated for each age.
Single Visit, Most Cases
For routine releases, consult and procedure happen the same day. You leave with a plan and a result.
