A frenectomy is a procedure to release tight frenums. This can help with difficulties like restricted tongue movement, gum recession, and speech disorders. At Downtown Dental Centre, we provide specialized frenectomy in Regina to improve your dental health.
We believe a frenectomy can be life-changing for people with oral function challenges.
We offer dental frenectomy solutions to improve your comfort and oral function.
A newborn tongue and/or lip tie procedure helps newborns with restricted frenums, which makes nursing difficult. We gently and accurately release the frenum to help newborns latch and feed more efficiently.
This simple procedure improves feeding and helps prevent future speech and oral development issues. We prioritize your baby's safety and happiness and will guide you through every stage.
Laser frenectomy is a surgical treatment that gently removes the frenulum with an intense laser. This method minimizes healing time, pain, and bleeding. The laser also cleans that area, lowering the risk of infection.
Traditional surgical frenectomy procedure involves releasing a tight frenulum with a scalpel. For many years, this method has been an effective choice for treating lip or tongue ties for older children or adults.
A lingual frenectomy targets the frenulum below the tongue. This procedure benefits those who have difficulty speaking or eating because of limited tongue movement. It will help you speak more clearly and swallow better.
Adults and infants with limited tongue movement can both benefit from lingual frenectomy.
A labial frenectomy gets rid of the small tissue band (frenum) that connects the upper lip to the gums. This may sometimes cause gaps or discomfort. We do this treatment at Downtown Dental Centre to improve mouth health and ease. This procedure is necessary especially if the frenum makes it hard to speak, eat, or keep your teeth in the right place.
With a posterior lingual tongue frenectomy procedure, a tight tongue-tie at the back of the tongue can be lifted. Without treatment, this restriction can make speaking, swallowing, or even breathing difficult.
For many of our frenectomy procedures, we utilize an advanced CO2 laser to ensure the highest standard of care. This technology offers incredible precision and a more comfortable experience by sealing blood vessels as it works, which minimizes both bleeding and post-procedure discomfort. Furthermore, the sterilizing properties of the laser help reduce infection risk and support a quicker healing process.
