Laser Dentistry

A tongue tie (ankyloglossia) happens when the thin piece of tissue under the tongue (lingual frenulum) is too short or tight, limiting tongue movement.

A lip tie is when the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gum (labial frenulum) is too tight, restricting lip movement.

Common Signs in Babies:

• Trouble latching during breastfeeding
• Poor weight gain
• Clicking sounds while feeding
• Gas, reflux, or colic symptoms
• Long feeding sessions
• Sore nipples or pain for mum

In Older Children or Adults:

• Speech delays or difficulty
• Problems with eating/swallowing
• Trouble sticking tongue out or moving it side to side
• Gaps between front teeth (with lip tie)
• Difficulty playing wind instruments or kissing

Treatment:

A quick and simple procedure called a frenectomy or laser release can free the tongue or lip. It’s often done in minutes, with minimal discomfort and quick healing—especially when done early.

When decay is located just below the gumline, we can carefully reshape the surrounding gum tissue to access the area and place a proper filling. This allows for a healthier, longer-lasting restoration without compromising nearby tissue.

Gum Reshaping (Gingivectomy)

Gingivectomy is used to remove excess gum tissue, creating a more balanced and attractive smile. It’s often performed after braces or to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile for cosmetic enhancement.

Surgical Assistance

We use advanced tools like lasers or surgical guides to support a variety of dental procedures with enhanced precision. This results in less discomfort, faster healing, and improved outcomes for many surgical treatments.
