During the procedure, the CO2 Laser is used to precisely release the tie. This is a quick, minimally invasive treatment with minimal discomfort for the patient.
Post-procedure instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing. Follow-up appointments may be recommended to monitor progress, and revisions can be performed if necessary.
At Burke Dental Group, we have years of experience treating both tongue and lip ties using a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Laser for the most comfortable and effective procedure. This modern laser treatment offers minimal discomfort, less bleeding, and quicker healing time compared to traditional methods. We provide treatment for infants up to six months of age without requiring general anesthesia or sedation.
CO2 laser treatment offers several benefits, including:
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Infants typically feel only mild pressure, and the CO2 laser treatment is designed to be as gentle as possible. Some tenderness or irritation in the treated area may occur after the procedure, but it is usually temporary and resolves quickly. Adults may experience mild discomfort during recovery, but pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter medication.
Recovery time is typically quick. Most infants and children recover within a few days, with some showing improvement immediately after the procedure. The treated area may be slightly sore for a short period. For adults, recovery might take a bit longer, with some experiencing tenderness for a few days. We provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and may schedule follow-up visits to check progress.
