At Brisman Dental, we are committed to providing comfortable and effective care for patients of all ages. One of the procedures we offer is frenectomy treatment: a minor surgical solution for lip-tie or tongue-tie conditions. These concerns can affect everything from feeding and speech to breathing and oral development. Dr. David Brisman and Dr. Jason Brisman use a gentle and conservative approach to address these issues safely and precisely.
Our dentists and team offer frenectomies in Manhattan, New York, using advanced techniques to ensure a comfortable experience with minimal downtime. This simple yet powerful procedure can make a significant difference in a patient’s daily comfort and long-term health.
What Is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is the removal or modification of a small piece of connective tissue called a frenum. When a frenum is too tight or improperly positioned, it can restrict normal oral movement and function. This condition is common in infants, children and even adults and may require treatment to improve oral function and prevent future complications.
Our dentists will carefully evaluate your or your child’s oral anatomy to determine whether a frenectomy is needed. When performed early, this procedure can prevent developmental issues, enhance oral comfort and promote proper function.
Benefits of a frenectomy may include:
- Improved breastfeeding or bottle-feeding in infants
- Better speech development and articulation
- Reduced discomfort or pain caused by tight oral tissues
- Prevention of future dental and orthodontic concerns
- Minimally invasive treatment with fast recovery time
