Why Choose Soft-Tissue Laser Frenectomy?
Traditional scalpel methods cause bleeding, swelling, and require sutures. Our soft-tissue laser cauterizes instantly as it treats:
Micro-Targeted Precision
Targets strictly the tight frenulum fibers, leaving healthy surrounding tongue and lip anatomy completely undisturbed.
Rapid Recovery & Instant Feeding
Takes less than a few minutes. Newborns can latch and nurse immediately post-procedure right in our Tribeca suite.
Reduced Risk of Reattachment
Clean laser vaporizing minimizes scarring and re-tightening when combined with our gentle post-op stretching exercises.
Gentle Experience
Step-by-Step Treatment Process
Evaluation & Numbing
Dr. Nina inspects the restrictions. A soothing topical numbing gel (or local anesthetic for adults) ensures full comfort.
Gentle Laser Release
The precision soft-tissue laser vaporizes the tight frenulum band in under 60 seconds with zero pulling.
Post-Op Feeding & Exercises
Immediate range-of-motion test. Dr. Nina personally guides parents through quick stretching techniques to guarantee long-term success.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the laser frenectomy procedure hurt?
No. For infants, a topical numbing gel is applied, and the treatment takes under 60 seconds. For older children and adults, local anesthetic ensures a completely painless experience.
How long is the recovery phase?
Initial healing occurs within 7–14 days. Infants nurse almost immediately post-treatment, and parents perform gentle 5-second stretches daily to ensure optimal results.
Will dental or medical insurance cover a frenectomy?
Coverage depends on your specific insurance provider. Our administrative team will verify your benefits and assist with filing all necessary documentation.
