A frenotomy is a surgical procedure to remove or modify the frenum, a small fold of tissue in the mouth. These conditions, where the frenum restricts the movement of the tongue or lip, can cause issues with speech, eating, and in infants, breastfeeding. My Smile Health Centre (Your frenotomy Provider in Burnaby BC), utilizes a CO2 soft tissue laser for effective treatment.
The procedure is generally quick and involves minimal discomfort, especially when performed with advanced laser technology. Healing time varies but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks. Dr. Yu, a skilled frenotomy dentist in Burnaby, ensures that the procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
While frenotomy is a safe procedure, like any surgery, it can carry some risks, such as bleeding, infection, or scarring. However, these risks are significantly reduced when the procedure is performed by an experienced professional like Dr. Yu. The cost of a frenotomy can vary, but at My Smile Health Centre, we strive to provide effective and affordable treatment options, including laser frenotomy in Burnaby.
Delaying a necessary frenotomy can lead to persistent difficulties. For children, it might mean continued challenges with feeding and speech development. Adults might experience chronic issues such as speech difficulties, dental problems, or discomfort during everyday activities. Addressing tongue-tie or lip-tie issues early with a frenotomy can prevent these complications.
