Laser Frenectomies and Tongue Tie Release

Frenectomy is a scary sounding word for a fairly simple and common procedure that addresses a kind of tether that limits movement. Common frenectomies involve the tongue and upper lip. In some cases, the frenum is too short, tight or tough, and basically does its job too well. The inhibited movement causes difficulty with regular tasks like eating and talking, or hurts proper development in children, leading to aesthetic problems. The frenectomy is the simple procedure by which the frenulum is severed and typically removed to free up more movement. Using a laser Dr. Kimi is able to accomplish this procedure quickly and pain free.
