Laser Frenectomy

Laser Frenectomy Victoria London

What is a Laser Frenectomy?

A frenectomy is a minor procedure to release or reshape the small fold of tissue (frenum) under the tongue (tongue-tie) or inside the lips (lip-tie). When this tissue is too short, tight, or restrictive, it can cause problems such as:

  • Difficulty with breastfeeding or speech (in children)
  • Restricted tongue movement
  • Gaps between teeth (diastema)
  • Gum recession caused by lip tension

The Quicklase® dental laser allows us to perform this procedure with precision, often without the need for stitches.

Benefits of Laser Frenectomy at EGO Dental

Laser Frenectomy
  • Minimally invasive: No scalpels or sutures required in most cases
  • Reduced discomfort: Electronic local anaesthesia and laser precision improve comfort
  • Faster healing: Patients often recover within days, not weeks
  • Lower risk of infection: Laser sterilises the area as it works
  • Improved function: Freer tongue and lip movement for speech, eating, or breastfeeding

Risks & Considerations

While laser frenectomy is generally safe and well-tolerated, all medical procedures carry risks. These include:

  • Mild swelling or discomfort after treatment
  • Small chance of reattachment if aftercare is not followed
  • Rare risk of bleeding or infection

At EGO Dental, we provide full written consent forms, aftercare advice, and follow-up care to ensure the best results.

FAQs

Is a laser frenectomy painful?

Most patients report little to no pain. We use electronic local anaesthesia and the laser itself is far gentler than traditional surgery.

How long does the procedure take?

The treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes.

What is recovery like?

Most patients experience minimal swelling and can return to normal activities within a few days.

Had my Invisalign treatment done lasting a year and I am very happy with the outcome such a huge difference has been made to how I feel and look. Golnar was absolutely the best as always and took extra care highly recommend treatment from here. I experienced so much setbacks before this but Golnar took the time to really prioritise my oral health and then we proceeded with the treatment and my oral health is so much better It was definitely worth every penny spent.

I had an amazing experience at Clinic Ego. From the very beginning, the whole team made me feel comfortable, well taken care of, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. The professionalism and kindness of everyone involved really stood out. The results honestly exceeded my expectations I’m genuinely so happy with my new smile. It has made a huge difference for me. Whenever I had questions, everything was handled with patience and support, which I really appreciated. If you’re thinking about dental treatment, I truly recommend Clinic Ego without hesitation. They deserve all the praise and 5 stars.

I have been visiting Charlie and Golnar at EGO Dental Clinic for a number of years now. Them and their whole team are friendly, welcoming, professional and always give the most sound advice. I have had minor to quite major treatments over my time with them and Charlie has been able to 'save' teeth that other dentists have told were not possible. The range of services and treatments on offer are wide ranging and all are carried out to the highest of standards in terms of technical work and hygiene. I would not want to visit anywhere else for any dental work. Thank you

I’ve been a patient at EGO Dental Clinic in Victoria, London for several years now, and I can confidently say the level of care and professionalism is exceptional. This is a truly special, family-run clinic led by a husband-and-wife team, and you can feel that personal touch from the moment you walk in. The reception team are always welcoming, organised, and attentive, making every visit smooth and stress-free. The clinic itself is immaculate.. one of the cleanest and most well-presented dental environments I’ve ever seen. The design is modern, calming, and clearly thought through with patient comfort in mind. What really stands out is the advanced technology they use.. it’s unlike anything I’ve experienced elsewhere and gives you real confidence that you’re receiving the highest standard of care. Most importantly, they consistently deliver results. On my recent visit, they solved an issue that had been bothering me, with clarity, precision, and care. Everything was explained thoroughly, and I felt completely at ease throughout. Despite the premium level of service, their pricing remains fair and transparent, which is rare to find in Central London. If you’re looking for a dentist in Victoria who combines clinical excellence, cutting-edge technology, and a genuinely caring approach, I highly recommend EGO Dental Clinic.
