Tongue or lip ties can affect everything from nursing and bottle feeding to speech development and even oral hygiene. At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, we offer gentle, laser frenectomy treatments to safely release these restrictions and help your child move, feed, and speak more freely. Our skilled team uses the latest technology to make the procedure fast, comfortable, and stress-free. If you’re concerned about a possible tongue or lip tie, book a consultation today and find out how we can support your child’s growth and development.
A frenectomy is a quick, minimally invasive procedure used to treat tongue ties and lip ties—conditions where tight bands of tissue restrict movement in the tongue or upper lip. These ties can lead to nursing difficulties in infants, speech delays, and even orthodontic complications as your child grows.
At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, Dr. Alex uses advanced laser technology to gently release the tight tissue (called a frenulum), restoring proper mobility and function. The procedure is fast, precise, and designed with your child’s comfort in mind, so they can get back to eating, speaking, and smiling with ease.
At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, we believe every child deserves gentle, precise care—especially for procedures like frenectomies. That’s why we use the NVPro3 soft tissue laser, a kid-friendly tool that allows us to perform quick and comfortable treatments with less stress for both children and parents.
The NVPro3 laser is highly precise and doesn’t produce vibration or noise. It gently seals blood vessels and nerve endings as it works, minimizing discomfort and bleeding. In many cases, numbing shots aren’t even needed.
Unlike some bulky, loud dental tools, our laser is about the size of a pen. Its small size and quiet operation help put kids at ease, making it much easier for them to relax during their visit.
Laser frenectomies promote faster healing and smoother recovery than traditional surgical methods—so your little one can return to nursing, eating, and smiling without delay.

At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, our soft tissue laser isn’t just for frenectomies. We also use the NVPro3 laser to perform several other gentle, effective procedures that support your child’s oral health with minimal discomfort and downtime.
For children with excess gum tissue—often following orthodontic treatment—laser recontouring can create a more balanced, beautiful smile. The laser makes the process quicker, cleaner, and much more comfortable than traditional tools.
If your child has a painful gum flap (called an operculum) over a growing molar, we can gently remove it using our soft tissue laser. This not only relieves discomfort but also helps prevent infection by eliminating a common trap for food and bacteria.
If we notice a lesion or unusual spot in your child’s mouth, our laser allows us to take a quick and nearly pain-free biopsy for further evaluation. This precise technique speeds up healing and reduces the stress often associated with tissue sampling.

Before we begin, Dr. Alex will gently clean your child’s mouth. Because we use advanced laser technology, many kids don’t even need numbing or sedation—but both are available if your child needs a little extra support to feel comfortable.
Using a quiet, pen-sized soft tissue laser, Dr. Alex will carefully release the tight frenulum causing your child’s tongue or lip tie. The laser precisely removes the tissue without bleeding or the need for stitches. The entire procedure usually takes just a few minutes.
After the treatment, Dr. Alex will walk you through simple post-op instructions to ensure proper healing. This typically includes oral stretches and care routines to keep the site healthy and prevent reattachment, so your child can heal quickly and comfortably.

Thanks to our soft tissue laser technology, recovery is typically smooth and fast. Your child may experience minor discomfort, which can be easily managed with children’s Tylenol or similar medication. Since no stitches are needed, healing is often quicker and more comfortable than with traditional methods.
To support healing and prevent reattachment, Dr. Alex will guide you through gentle oral stretches to do at home with your child. These daily exercises help ensure a successful outcome and improved mobility long-term.
Frenectomy coverage varies depending on your child’s specific insurance plan. Some cases are covered by dental insurance, others by medical insurance—or even both. Our team is happy to help you navigate your benefits and provide the documentation needed to file claims.
We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit, so you can break treatment into manageable monthly payments if needed.
Laser frenectomies are designed to be gentle and pain-free. Most children don’t need any numbing at all—just a quick procedure with minimal discomfort. For extra reassurance, we offer both local anesthetic and sedation options to help every child feel safe and relaxed.
Our NVPro3 laser uses a tiny fiber-optic tip to deliver concentrated light energy that gently vaporizes soft tissue. This high-precision tool seals blood vessels and nerve endings on contact, minimizing bleeding, pain, and swelling. That means no stitches, faster healing, and a smoother experience for your child at every step.
