Lip Tie Surgery in New Orleans, LA

New Orleans Lip-Tie Surgery Specialist

At NOLA Pediatric Dentistry, we’re dedicated to ensuring your child’s oral development is healthy and unhindered. If you’re searching for the best lip tie surgery in New Orleans, LA, our team provides gentle, effective treatment using advanced laser technology. We aim to enhance your child’s comfort, function, and long-term oral health.

Lip tie occurs when the tissue (labial frenulum) connecting the upper lip to the gums is too tight, thick, or short, restricting lip movement. This condition can interfere with breastfeeding, speech development, dental health, and overall comfort. At NOLA Pediatric Dentistry, we specialize in diagnosing and treating lip ties through safe, efficient laser frenectomy procedures.

Our modern approach ensures minimal discomfort, faster healing, and excellent results—making us a trusted choice for lip tie surgery in New Orleans, LA.

What Is A Lip-Tie?

A lip tie is a condition where the labial frenulum—the piece of tissue that connects the upper lip to the gums—is unusually tight or thick, restricting the lip’s natural movement. Lip ties can affect infants, children, and even older patients, often resulting in issues such as:

  • Difficulty breastfeeding or bottle-feeding.
  • Speech impediments or challenges with certain sounds.
  • Gap formation between the front teeth.
  • Increased risk of tooth decay due to difficulty maintaining oral hygiene.
  • Discomfort or pain during oral movements.

What Causes Lip-Tie?

Lip ties are typically present at birth and may occur due to:

  • Genetic Factors — Family history can increase the likelihood of developing a lip tie.
  • Developmental Variations — During fetal development, the labial frenulum may not properly separate from the lip.
  • Associated Conditions — Sometimes, lip ties are present alongside tongue ties or other oral structural issues.

The Best Treatment For Lip-Tie in New Orleans

NOLA Pediatric Dentistry offers the best lip tie surgery in New Orleans, LA through a procedure called frenectomy. Early intervention can significantly improve feeding, speech, and overall oral health.

Laser Frenectomy in New Orleans, LA

Our preferred method for treating lip ties is through a laser frenectomy. Unlike traditional surgical tools, laser technology offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Precision — Enhanced control during the procedure, resulting in cleaner, more accurate cuts.
  • Reduced Discomfort — Less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure.
  • Faster Healing — Minimal tissue damage leads to quicker recovery times.
  • Lower Risk of Infection — Laser technology naturally sterilizes the treated area, promoting better healing.

What is a Frenectomy?

A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves releasing or removing the restrictive frenulum to improve lip or tongue mobility. It’s a common treatment for both lip ties and tongue ties.

At NOLA Pediatric Dentistry, we use advanced laser technology for frenectomies, ensuring a safe, efficient, and virtually painless experience for your child.

Laser vs Scissors Procedure

When considering lip tie surgery, parents often ask about the differences between laser and traditional scissors procedures.

Laser Frenectomy:

  • Minimally invasive with less bleeding.
  • Faster recovery times.
  • Reduced pain and swelling.
  • Enhanced precision for improved results.

Scissors Procedure:

  • More bleeding and discomfort.
  • Longer healing period.
  • Higher risk of infection.
  • Less precision, especially for very young children.

Laser frenectomy offers the most efficient and comfortable option for treating lip ties, especially for infants and young children.

The cost of a frenectomy varies depending on the severity of the lip tie and the type of procedure performed. At NOLA Pediatric Dentistry, we provide clear, upfront pricing and will discuss all costs during your consultation.

Is laser lip tie surgery safe for my child?

Yes, laser frenectomy is a safe and effective procedure for children of all ages. Our advanced laser technology minimizes pain, bleeding, and infection risk, ensuring a smooth healing process.

How long does a laser frenectomy take?

The procedure itself is quick, usually taking 5 to 10 minutes. Including preparation and post-procedure instructions, the entire visit may take about 30 minutes.

Anna T.
The BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! When we walked in she was greeted by a sign with her name on it. My daughter was given the respect and attention a patient should receive. They explained everything so clearly to her . The staff went out of their way to help me with the insurance issue I was having…out of all the dentists we’ve seen ,Dr. Chris was the only One to identify that she has a tongue tie and was able to set up appointments for the speech therapist and orthodontist and reassured us that they all work close together. He created a plan tailored for her and seemed genuinely interested in helping her. He explained in detail what I am to expect for the tongue tie fix she needs. And They even gave her a “welcome” bag filled with a brand new shirt, a rubber ducky, toothpaste and toothbrush. 10 out of 10 would recommend switching to Dr. Chris and his team! They are very knowledgeable and kind hearted !
Response from the owner:Anna, thank you for your wonderful review! We are passionate about not only screening for cavities, but also assessing each child's growth and development and screening for any soft tissue abnormalities that could impact other aspects of life. We are happy to be your daughter's pediatric dentist and also look forward to helping improve your daughter's quality of life. See you soon! -Dr. Kris
