Best Frenectomy Los Angeles - Smile Buds Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

‍

Is your child having trouble breastfeeding or speaking? These difficulties may be due to a tongue tie or a lip tie – a form of restrictive tissue that limits the movement of tongue or lips. At Smile Buds Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we help children overcome these challenges with gentle frenectomy procedures.

Serving families across the Los Angeles area, we are conveniently located around Griffith Park. Our dedicated pediatric team is always ready to help. A frenectomy is a basic surgical operation that disengages a tissue tethered to the tongue or lip, thereby enhancing function. This short procedure can help to improve feeding challenges in infants, aid speech delay in toddlers, and orthodontic difficulties in older children.

Most parents notice breastfeeding latches, moderate speech challenges, or wide gaps between the two front teeth. These and other signs can be recognized early. With a combination of gentle, laser-driven techniques and quality pediatric care, we strive to ensure the process is pleasant and worry-free for both kids and parents.

Why Choose Smile Buds for Pediatric Frenectomy in Los Angeles

‍

Parents in Los Angeles appreciate our frenectomy services for the thorough comfort care we provide alongside state-of-the-art procedures. Through meticulous and gentle treatment, we enable children to overcome feeding challenges, speech and language delays, and even orthodontic concerns and unlock their full potential.

Unlike other clinics that use traditional methods, our pediatric specialists use advanced lasers that result in far less discomfort and promote faster healing. Your child will experience less bleeding, swelling, and healing time which is always helpful. Since every child is different, we foster individual strategies to best suit them.

It is the attention to detail that makes our integrated whole child care different. With an office that resembles a playscape instead of a clinical setting, children feel calm and welcome to explore. Walking to the procedure rooms without a clinical feel to them allows us to explain steps in a manner that makes sense to children and parents alike.

Common Frenectomy Questions from Los Angeles Parents

‍

Who needs a frenectomy and when should we consider this procedure?

Children with tongue-ties or lip-ties that interfere with breastfeeding, speech development, eating, or oral hygiene may benefit from a frenectomy. Signs include difficulty latching during nursing, speech delays, gaps between front teeth, or challenges with certain sounds. Early intervention often provides the best outcomes.

What does the frenectomy procedure involve for my child?

Our gentle laser frenectomy procedure typically takes just minutes and is performed with local anesthesia or sedation as needed. The restrictive tissue is carefully released using precise laser technology, allowing improved tongue or lip mobility. Most children experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities quickly.

How long is recovery and what can we expect after the procedure?

Recovery is typically 1-2 weeks with proper care. We provide detailed post-procedure instructions including gentle stretching exercises and pain management. Most children show improved function within days, with full healing realized over the following weeks.
