An overly short lingual frenulum or labial frenulum can present patients with numerous functional and aesthetic challenges. Laser frenectomy of the tongue or lip is therefore a very popular procedure, which is also available at NaturaDent Laser Dentistry.
As many clinics still work with classic invasive methods, the scalpel and cuts cause many people to postpone correction, or rather, live with it. However, in the era of dental laser technology, there is nothing to fear.
NaturaDent offers a painless, quick and gentle solution for frenulum and labial frenulum removal procedures using the most modern laser dental equipment, free from unpleasant complications or scars.
Laser lingual frenulum, lip frenulum removal in Budapest, at the NaturaDent clinic, therefore, demonstrates the highest level of the procedure in question. In this article, we have gathered all the necessary information for those who are considering such a treatment.
What is a language brake and a lip brake?
The lingual frenulum and the labial frenulum are simply connective tissues located in the oral cavity, which help to regulate the range of motion of the tongue and upper lip.
If these tissues are too short, tight, or thickened for some reason, this can cause a lot of discomfort, even from childhood.
It is generally a congenital disorder that should be corrected as soon as possible, as even milder changes can make adult life more difficult.
Problems caused by the lingual frenulum and labial frenulum:
In infants:
- Difficulties with breastfeeding or feeding (including bottle-feeding).
- Slower than normal weight gain.
- Frequent falling, breath-holding, stomach ache.
- Constant or increased hunger.
In children and adults:
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing.
- Speech defects, especially when forming sounds such as „r”, „l”, „t”, and „d”.
- Gumirecesszió és nagyobb fogrések kialakulása.
- Mouth breathing, dry mouth, and a tendency for tartar buildup due to difficulties in lip closure.
- Continuously tense facial muscles, which lead to problematic oral cavity functions.
Why is laser frenulum removal, frenectomy better than traditional methods?
Laser frenectomy, lip frenectomy is more popular among patients because even in terms of naming, it sounds gentler than traditional methods, when it's performed with a scalpel as part of a minor surgery.
However, this is far from all, as numerous advantages can be listed alongside the laser procedure:
Fast and minimally invasive:
When it comes to laser correction, the preparation often takes longer than the procedure itself. Most of the time, frenulum and lip-tie removal can usually be completed in a few minutes.
It causes minor bleeding.
Intervention with a scalpel is always accompanied by significant bleeding, however, laser technology is capable of coagulating tissues, thanks to which the treatment causes almost no bleeding at all.
Get well soon
As the laser is gentler on the tissues, healing is much faster and there is a lower chance of complications arising.
More precise and accurate
It can be said that all laser dental procedures are much more accurate and precise. Contrary to popular belief, they work with minimal heat effect, which also means they do not cause discomfort.
Minor pain
Since laser frenulum and lip frenulum removal are performed under general anaesthesia, the patient will not feel any pain. It should be noted, however, that a lower dose of anaesthetic is sufficient compared to traditional interventions.
No post-treatment required
A key advantage of advanced technology is that the procedure requires no follow-up treatment or rest, and the patient can return to their daily routine immediately.
The NaturaDent clinic, as a pioneer of laser dentistry in Hungary, has done everything possible to make laser frenectomy (tongue and lip) available in Budapest to everyone who, fearing invasive procedures, wanted a gentler and safer solution to their problem.
How is laser lingual frenulum, labial frenulum removal carried out in Budapest at NaturaDent?
The removal of the lingual frenulum and the labial frenulum with a laser is done in the same way as with traditional methods, however the methodology is different, offering a faster, safer, and more painless solution.
The course of treatment usually proceeds as follows:
Health check
If someone comes to our practice with issues concerning their lingual frenulum or labial frenulum, a thorough examination is crucial because we need to see exactly what we're dealing with.
At such times, along with the lesion, the functions of the oral cavity, the movement of the tongue, and even the mobility of the lips must be checked in order to prepare an accurate treatment plan.
Anaesthesia
As NaturaDent advocates for pain-free procedures, the next step will always be anaesthesia.
What exactly needs to be applied, and in what quantities, is generally adapted to the patient's condition and age, and of course, to the treatment.
Laser incision
After the patient is comfortably seated in the examination chair, the laser incision is made after the laser machine has been set up.
This only takes a few minutes, and what's more, after the release of the tissues, there's no bleeding or stitching.
Functional testing
The success of the intervention must always be ascertained, and laser treatment allows this immediately, so for example, checking the range of motion of the tongue is often sufficient to determine the success of the treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Milyen tünetek utalhatnak nyelvfék és ajakfék problémára?

Is laser frenectomy (tongue-tie, lip-tie removal) painful?
Laser procedures are always associated with minimal pain, and with anaesthesia, they can be made virtually painless.
How long does the procedure take?
It's highly dependent on the patient. The substantive part is usually completed in a few minutes.
Is stitching necessary after laser treatment?
Not even the biggest advantage of laser treatment is that it does not require stitches, thus no aftercare either.
How much does the treatment site bleed?
Most of the time, it's only minimal because the laser is able to coagulate the tissues, which prevents bleeding and promotes healing.
How long is the recovery time after laser treatment?
Generally, complete healing can be achieved within 1-3 days, but regaining functions lost due to a tight labial frenulum and tongue tie is a longer process. Moreover, in cases of speech impediments, the involvement of a speech therapist may even be necessary.
What to do after the treatment?
The laser treatment requires no aftercare, however, mobilisation exercises may be necessary to prevent the lingual frenulum or labial frenulum from reattaching, and ensuring proper oral hygiene is also very important.
When can you first eat after laser frenectomy (lip or tongue)?
Even immediately after the procedure, it is important to avoid overly hot, spicy, and seasoned foods, as well as acidic drinks.
What are the possible complications of laser treatment?
Laser treatment very rarely causes complications, as it also has a powerful disinfectant effect. However, minor swelling and inflammation may occur at the site of the procedure.
Can the frenulum of the lip only be treated if the frenulum of the tongue is okay?
Of course, the two areas can be handled independently.
