Yes. At Echeverri Dental Center in Spring Branch, our board-certified pediatric dentists use laser technology to perform frenectomies. The laser allows for a more precise and comfortable experience compared to traditional surgical methods.
How Laser Frenectomy Works
A laser frenectomy uses focused light energy to release the tight band of tissue (the frenulum) that restricts movement of the tongue or lip. Because the laser seals the tissue as it works, there is typically less bleeding during the procedure and less swelling afterward. In many cases, stitches are not needed. Most patients experience a shorter and more comfortable recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Is Laser Frenectomy Right for Your Child?
Laser frenectomy may be a good option for infants or children with a tongue tie or lip tie that is affecting feeding, speech development, or oral hygiene. Our pediatric dentists will evaluate your child's specific situation and recommend the best approach based on what they find.
How Much Does a Frenectomy Cost?
A frenectomy at Echeverri Dental Center typically costs around $700 to $900. Every patient's treatment plan is different, and certain cases may be outside that range. For a complete breakdown of costs and payment options, visit our financial page or call us at (713) 956-8767.
