The Frenectomy Procedure

If your baby suffers from a tongue tie, a 30-second release procedure performed by one of our doctors will improve the mobility of their tongue. The mobility created by this treatment will enable your child to lift their tongue to their palate, allowing them to latch and suction while nursing.

In most cases, once the lip and tongue ties are released, your baby is able to feed within minutes of the procedure in our office. We have a tranquil breastfeeding room to use after treatment so the team at Colorado Tongue Tie can monitor your child and the effectiveness of treatment. For older children, this simple procedure will improve eating issues and can also help with speech. Adults will notice decreased neck and back pain and improvements in posture.

Our doctors use a CO2 laser to perform tongue and lip tie releases. With this state-of-the-art technology, these procedures can be completed in about 30 seconds. CO2 laser technology results in a much quicker healing process than the traditional use of a scalpe. In most cases, babies are able to nurse immediately after the procedure, and older children will notice a difference in mobility of their tongue right away.

Micah Boriack

“We are so grateful we found Colorado Tongue Tie. They explained their exam findings so clearly, explained how the findings were related to my sons symptoms, and performed the exam and procedure on our 12 day old baby with skill and compassion that made us all feel so much more comfortable. Our little baby barely even cried. I cannot recommend them enough or fully express the complete value of their services.”

“Everything and everyone was so welcoming and caring from the minute I stepped into the office. I was nervous about the procedure, but I felt at ease once I started my exam with Dr Chad. The actual procedure was fairly quick and painless as Dr Chad took extra care to make sure I couldn’t feel anything. He also followed up with me later that afternoon to make sure I was doing well. The facility was clean and they are super organized.”

Danielle E

“I could not be more impressed with this office! Both doctors are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to explain not only WHAT they are doing, but WHY. Every single person I came in contact with made me feel welcomed and cared for. I could not be more happy or impressed by the office, the entire process and most importantly- the outcome. 100% recommend this office and everyone that works there! 🥳”

Lois Kaiser

“Fantastic experience today for my adult frenectomy. Dr. Chad was super cool, explained everything with enthusiasm and made me feel really good about the choice to get my tongue tie taken care of. Everyone working in the office was friendly, loved the dental assistant as well - lots of laughs today. I’m really looking forward to how this affects chronic Lyme disease for me. Thanks to everyone!”

"Brought my 11 week old son in for a tongue and lip tie release we thought had been corrected by an ENT when he was just five days old, turns out it wasn’t! This place is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone. Kind and caring staff. Clean office. Amazing follow up and they were even able to get us in quickly since we are heading to day care in a couple weeks. The doctor even provided his cell phone number in case we need him over the Christmas holiday. Incredible! This place was wonderful!"

Andrew L.

"This place is outstanding for all the important reasons. The entire staff is 100% focused on you during your time in the office. All of them!! I’ve never experience that level of service. They really listen to where you are at, have amazing fancy equipment to check your kid out, and make sure parents and children are comfortable. And most importantly, they do a great job. I was in the room for my sons tongue/lip laser procedure and they were done in 2-3 minutes tops. He recovered without much pain at all and we’ve been sleeping well ever since. Can’t recommend them enough."
