Laser Dentistry & Frenectomy

Laser technology can be used for specific soft-tissue procedures and selected restorative work where it reduces bleeding, speeds healing or improves precision. At Chutti's, laser is used for selected procedures where it offers a clinical benefit — not as a marketing feature.

Why it matters

For some procedures, laser reduces the need for local anaesthesia, causes less bleeding, and means faster healing. For children who are anxious about needles or sensitive to the drill, this can make a real difference.

What to expect

We will explain when laser is the right choice for your child's specific procedure and what the visit will involve.

A frenectomy is the release of a tight or short frenum — the small piece of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth (tongue-tie) or the upper lip to the gum (lip-tie). Laser frenectomy does this with precision and minimal bleeding.

Why it matters

A tight tongue-tie in infants can affect breastfeeding. In older children, it can affect speech, dental hygiene or how the teeth meet. Treatment is based on clinical findings and functional concerns — each case is assessed individually.

What to expect

Not every tight frenum needs treatment. We evaluate the frenum, its function and the clinical indication before recommending a frenectomy. The procedure itself is brief and recovery is typically quick.

Please note: Treatment is evaluated individually based on clinical findings and functional concerns. No specific improvements to feeding, speech or sleep can be promised.
