Laser Frenectomy

What is a Laser Frenectomy?

A laser frenectomy is a minimally invasive dental procedure that involves the use of laser technology to remove or alter the frenulum, a small fold of tissue that connects the lip to the underlying tissue. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals with restrictive frenula, which can lead to issues such as speech difficulties, dental problems, and feeding challenges in infants.

Causes of Frenulum Restrictions

Frenulum restrictions can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:
  • Congenital Conditions: Some individuals are born with a tight or short frenulum, known as lip-tie.
  • Trauma or Injury: Injuries to the mouth can cause scarring or tightening of the frenulum.
  • Developmental Issues: Growth patterns can lead to abnormal frenulum attachments.

The Technique

Using the Fotona Lightwalker laser system, with a premium dual wavelength laser, the frenectomy procedure is performed as follows:

  • Consultation and Evaluation: A thorough assessment is conducted to determine the need for the procedure.
  • Anesthesia: Topical or Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the procedure.
  • Laser Application: The Lightwalker laser precisely targets the frenulum, allowing for accurate tissue removal with minimal bleeding and reduced pain.
  • Post-Procedure Care: Patients receive guidance on recovery and care to ensure optimal healing.
