CHILDREN'S TONGUE-TIE: UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT
What is a Tongue Tie Release (Laser Frenectomy)?
Successful outcomes require combining surgical release with targeted oral exercises (myofunctional therapy). This comprehensive approach teaches correct tongue positioning and movement, preventing reattachment while establishing healthy patterns. Lakewood families report dramatic improvements in:
- Articulation precision
- Mealtime enjoyment
- Restful sleep
- Jaw development
- Dental health
For lasting results, frenectomies always incorporate myofunctional therapy. This guarantees proper tongue function development, supporting lifelong oral health following the procedure.

Lakewood’s Advanced Pediatric Tongue-Tie Treatment Center
When tongue restrictions limit your Lakewood child’s potential, specialized laser frenectomy provides immediate, lasting freedom. Our Jefferson County practice offers Colorado’s most advanced pediatric tongue-tie release, addressing restrictions that affect speech, feeding, sleep, and development. Unlike outdated scissor techniques still used at some facilities, our CO2 laser technology provides unmatched precision with minimal tissue trauma. Whether your Green Mountain elementary student struggles pronouncing words at Bear Creek Elementary or your Golden teen avoids certain foods at their school cafeteria, our comprehensive evaluation identifies how tongue restrictions impact their daily life across multiple systems.
Our Lakewood laser frenectomy protocol exceeds standard release procedures through meticulous attention to complete restriction removal and optimal healing. Each child receives thorough structural assessment examining not just obvious anterior ties, but also posterior restrictions Colorado providers frequently miss. The procedure itself takes mere minutes using our advanced laser, which simultaneously cuts and cauterizes tissue, eliminating bleeding while reducing post-operative discomfort. According to the International Affiliation of Tongue-tie Professionals, incomplete releases requiring revision affect 30% of traditional procedures—our comprehensive approach and precise laser technology virtually eliminate revision necessity. Pre-operative myofunctional preparation begins immediately, teaching exercises that prevent scar tissue formation while establishing proper tongue function. Post-release therapy continues for several weeks, coordinating with Jefferson County speech therapists and orthodontists when needed for complete rehabilitation.
What distinguishes Lakewood’s premier tongue-tie center is our commitment to transformative, permanent results that change children’s trajectories. Front Range families drive from Arvada, Westminster, Littleton, and beyond after witnessing neighbor children’s dramatic improvements—eliminated speech therapy needs, resolved sleep issues, expanded food preferences. Our gentle approach keeps children comfortable throughout treatment, with most returning to normal activities immediately, ready for afternoon activities at Bear Creek Lake Park or sports at their local recreation center. The modest investment in proper tongue-tie release prevents years of speech therapy, orthodontic complications, sleep disorders, and social challenges from unclear communication. Children leave our Lakewood office with tongues moving freely for the first time, parents amazed watching them immediately demonstrate improved range of motion.
Colorado families complete treatment witnessing their child’s newfound confidence speaking clearly, expanded dietary choices, and peaceful sleep. Schedule your consultation today to give your child the gift of unrestricted oral function through expert laser frenectomy.

Laser frenectomy provides exceptional safety and precision, with minimal bleeding and accelerated healing compared to scissors or scalpel methods. The procedure completes in under 10 minutes at our Lakewood clinic, with Colorado children typically resuming normal activities immediately. Our CO2 laser technology maximizes comfort while achieving superior results.
While Lakewood children benefit from treatment at any age, earlier intervention typically yields better outcomes. We evaluate and treat Colorado kids from toddlers through teenagers. Early release prevents speech delays, feeding difficulties, and developmental compensations affecting confidence throughout their school years.
Topical anesthetic applied before treatment keeps Lakewood children comfortable during the brief procedure. Most experience minimal discomfort managed with children's Tylenol if needed. Laser technology means reduced swelling and faster recovery than traditional Colorado clinics using older methods.
