At The Dental Studio, located at 9020 Senca Drive in Wilmington, NC, understanding and addressing oral health issues is at the core of our mission. Among the various challenges that can affect individuals, especially infants and children, are lip and tongue ties. A frenectomy is a simple yet effective surgical procedure that can significantly improve oral function by removing the restrictions caused by these ties.

Frenectomies can alleviate a range of issues associated with lip and tongue ties, which may include difficulties with breastfeeding, speech, and even proper oral hygiene. When a baby has a tongue tie, the movement of the tongue can be restricted, making feeding challenging. This may extend into childhood with issues surrounding speech clarity, impacting communication skills. Early intervention through a frenectomy not only fosters better feeding practices but also supports overall development.

Parents often notice the following benefits from a frenectomy:

  • Improved feeding habits in infants.
  • Enhanced ability to latch during breastfeeding.
  • Reduced speech issues as the child grows.
  • Easier oral hygiene practices, leading to better overall dental health.

Dr. Jacob Long, a trusted expert in general dentistry, and his experienced team at The Dental Studio are committed to making this procedure as smooth and comfortable as possible. Many satisfied patients have shared their positive experiences, emphasizing the exceptional care and attention provided. One parent stated, “The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.” Such testimonials reflect the environment we strive to create for our patients.
