What is a laser frenectomy?
In your mouth, the frenum is a piece of tissue which connects in two places:
- The base of the tongue
- Beneath the upper lip
Sometimes the frenum is too short, too high, or attached too close to the tip of the tongue. In these cases, a frenectomy is a simple procedure that uses a high-tech laser to remove this connective tissue and allows for normal tongue function and optimal dental and gum health.

Frequently asked questions
Does my child need a frenectomy?
Your pediatrician or dentist is often the first to recommend a frenectomy. Dr. Li is great with patients of all ages and will make the consultation easy. After a quick but thorough examination and discussion with you, he will diagnose and or provide a second opinion on whether or not a frenectomy is right for your child.
Is laser frenectomy painful?
While traditional frenectomies involve scalpels, laser frenectomies are typically performed with local anesthetic. It’s a very gentle procedure without excess bleeding or any high risk of infection or complications
How long does it take a laser frenectomy to heal?
Because the laser is minimally invasive and cauterizes as it cuts, you or your child will be back to normal and feeling great soon after treatment.
