Frenectomies North Brunswick, NJ

Gentle Frenectomy Treatments for All Ages

AmeriDental helps patients of all ages with frenectomies, a simple procedure that can improve comfort, function, and overall oral health. Frenectomies address tongue ties and lip ties, conditions that can restrict movement of the tongue or upper lip and affect daily activities such as speaking, eating, and oral hygiene.

Understanding

Tongue and Lip Ties

Tongue Tie

A tongue tie, also called ankyloglossia, occurs when the tissue connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth is unusually short or tight. This can limit tongue movement and make it difficult to latch during breastfeeding, pronounce certain sounds, or clean the mouth effectively.

Lip Tie

A lip tie occurs when the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums is tight or restrictive. Lip ties can interfere with breastfeeding, cause gaps between front teeth, and make brushing the upper teeth challenging.

Both conditions can vary in severity. Some patients experience only mild restrictions while others face more significant challenges.

Why Frenectomies

Why Frenectomies Are Needed

Frenectomies can significantly improve oral function and comfort. For infants, releasing a tongue or lip tie can improve breastfeeding, reduce nipple pain for parents, and promote healthy feeding habits that support proper growth and nutrition.

For older children and adults, treatment can help with clearer speech, more effective swallowing, and prevent challenges with brushing and flossing caused by restricted movement.

Procedure

The Procedure

At AmeriDental, frenectomies are safe, quick, and minimally invasive. We use advanced techniques to release the tight tissue with minimal discomfort and precise control. The procedure is typically completed in a single visit, and patients can resume normal activities shortly afterward.

For infants, frenectomies are often performed with gentle tools that limit trauma and reduce recovery time. For older children and adults, we focus on comfort and precision, sometimes combining the release with exercises to support proper tongue or lip movement.

Benefits

Benefits of Early Treatment

Early treatment of tongue or lip ties can have lasting effects on oral health and overall development. For babies, frenectomies can improve feeding, reduce frustration, and support healthy weight gain. For children, treatment can help with clear speech, proper swallowing, and easier oral hygiene routines.

Addressing these issues early also supports proper dental development, helps teeth align naturally, and reduces the likelihood of orthodontic complications. Patients of all ages report increased comfort, improved oral function, and a boost in confidence following a frenectomy.
