Improve feeding, speech, and oral function with a simple, effective treatment for infants, children, and adults.
Tongue and lip ties occur when the connective tissue (frenum) under the tongue or inside the upper lip is too tight or short, restricting movement. This can lead to issues with breastfeeding, speech, swallowing, oral hygiene, and even facial development. At Crown Dental Group, we perform safe, minimally invasive frenectomies using modern techniques to restore full movement and comfort.

From infants to adults
Especially important for feeding and speech development
Untreated lip or tongue ties can interfere with everyday function and development. A frenectomy removes the restriction, allowing for better oral mobility and long-term comfort.
We understand the importance of early diagnosis and gentle care—especially when it comes to infants and children. Our team takes a patient-first approach to ensure comfort, clarity, and confident outcomes.
Many breastfeeding issues—like poor latch, nipple pain, and weight gain concerns—are resolved after release.
Tongue freedom is essential for correct speech sounds and oral motor function in children.
Improved tongue mobility makes it easier to clean teeth and swallow efficiently.
Often completed in minutes with minimal downtime and simple aftercare.
Difficulty latching, clicking while feeding, reflux symptoms, poor weight gain, or a visible tight band under the tongue/lip could indicate a tie. A proper diagnosis is made during a consultation.
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. For infants, it’s done in seconds with minimal distress. For older children and adults, local anaesthetic ensures a pain-free experience.
Possibly. Depending on age and severity, some patients benefit from lactation support, speech therapy, or myofunctional exercises to retrain muscles and maximise results.
