GENERAL DENTISTRY
Tongue-tie or lip-tie issues can affect everything from breastfeeding in infants to speech and eating in children and adults. At Empower Dental in Upland, we provide gentle, laser-assisted frenectomy procedures to correct these issues quickly and safely—often with immediate results.
Call us today at (909) 359-6964 to schedule your consultation.
A frenectomy is a simple surgical procedure that removes or reshapes the frenulum—a small band of tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth or the lips to the gums. When this tissue is too tight, it can restrict normal movement and function.
