Restore Freedom of Movement. Improve Speech, Function, and Confidence.
Tethered oral tissues—such as tongue-ties (ankyloglossia), lip-ties, and tight frena—can impact everything from feeding and speech to facial growth and oral hygiene. At Punebestdentist.com, Kharadi, we offer advanced laser-assisted and minimally invasive surgeries to release these restrictions safely, precisely, and comfortably.
What Are These Procedures?
- Frenectomy: Surgical removal or modification of the frenulum—a small band of tissue connecting the lips, cheeks, or tongue to surrounding areas.
- Tongue-Tie Surgery: Release of the tight band under the tongue to improve tongue mobility.
- Lip Lengthening or Lip-Tie Release: Correction of overly tight upper or lower lip frena that restrict movement or cause spacing between teeth.
These procedures are often recommended in children and adults when tethered tissues cause:
- Difficulty in breastfeeding or bottle feeding (infants)
- Speech delay or articulation issues
- Restricted tongue or lip movement
- Gum recession or spacing between teeth

Frequently Asked Questions
- What age is best for a frenectomy or tongue-tie surgery?
We can perform the procedure safely at any age. In infants, early correction can improve feeding and prevent future issues. In older children or adults, we consider function and speech before deciding.
- Is the procedure painful?
Laser-assisted procedures are virtually pain-free and often don’t require stitches. Healing is quick, and most children return to normal activities within a day.
- Will this improve my child’s speech or feeding?
Yes, in many cases. However, a complete evaluation with a speech therapist or lactation expert may be needed for comprehensive care.
- Is general anesthesia required?
No, most cases can be done under local anesthesia. Infants may not require anesthesia at all with laser treatment.
