Infant Frenectomies: Supporting Breastfeeding and Development

Dentist Colorado Springs

At Vibrant Laser Dentistry, located at 1920 Vindicator Drive, Suite 209 in Colorado Springs, we understand the importance of early dental care for your little ones. Our specialized service, infant frenectomies, is designed to support breastfeeding and ensure proper craniofacial-respiratory development in infants. This procedure can significantly enhance a baby’s ability to latch and feed effectively, promoting better nutritional health during those critical early months.

A frenectomy involves the precise removal of the frenulum, a tissue that can restrict movement and function—either under the tongue or the upper lip. For many infants, a tight frenulum can lead to complications such as difficulty latching during breastfeeding, which may in turn affect their overall growth and development. In recognizing this issue, Vibrant Laser Dentistry provides a safe and effective solution tailored to the needs of both parents and babies.

Here are some compelling reasons to choose Vibrant Laser Dentistry for your infant frenectomy:

  • Expertise and Care: Our team, led by Dr. Nichole Anderson, is committed to providing compassionate care in a comfortable environment. We prioritize the safety and well-being of your child while employing the latest techniques in laser dentistry.
  • Improved Breastfeeding Experience: Many parents report a more enjoyable breastfeeding experience post-procedure, as the elimination of restrictions can allow for better latching and feeding. This not only benefits the baby but also aids in establishing a positive bonding experience between mother and child.
  • Holistic Development Support: Proper craniofacial-respiratory development is crucial in infants, and addressing the issues associated with a restrictive frenulum can have lasting benefits beyond just feeding. Supporting a child in their early stages can set the foundation for proper dental health and overall well-being in the future.

Numerous families have experienced the positive impact of our frenectomy procedure. Feedback often highlights the professionalism and care provided by our staff. One satisfied parent remarked, “The staff was amazing, and I felt at ease throughout my visit.” Such testimonials reinforce our commitment to exceptional service.

“My visit to Vibrant Laser was constructive and informative. Ashley was an excellent hygienist. She explained the steps in the cleaning process and the condition of my teeth and gums. Dr. Rikli’s examination was right on target. He identified an issue and made recommendations so I could speak constructively with my previous provider. In less then 24 hours, I initiated a positive plan with the provider and feel confident the issue is going to be resolved. I know where to get help if it need it. I also appreciated Samantha’s prompt follow through, sending x-rays to my previous provider supporting Dr. Rikli’s conclusion.  I was very impressed with the teamwork exhibited at Vibrant. Thank you and I will be back in 6 months.”

“I am currently having an implant done. I had one done at a prior office and the experience here is noticeably better. The staff are very informative and incredibly knowledgeable. I have not had any problems or discomfort that I had at the prior office. Dr. Anderson is extremely talented and I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing dental care. The follow-up to procedures also lets you know that they truly care about your dental health.”

“Dr. Anderson is a compassionate, kind, and gentle dentist. In addition, I have been blessed to have Oleta as my hygienist from the very beginning!”

“When my daughter was born, she struggled with a weak and inconsistent latch, had difficulty transferring milk, and exhibited signs of a tongue tie, including lip blisters, reflux, and clicking while feeding. She also experienced full-body tension that made car rides unbearable. Dr. Anderson carefully listened to my concerns, conducted a thorough examination, and diagnosed both a tongue and lip tie, recommending a WaterLase release. She explained the procedure, reassured us throughout, and provided detailed aftercare instructions, ensuring my daughter’s comfort and successful healing. Immediately after the procedure, my daughter’s latch improved, her reflux lessened, and her discomfort eased. Over time, her feeding became more efficient, her muscle strength improved, and she was able to gain the weight she needed to thrive. Dr. Anderson’s support before, during, and after the release was invaluable, and her genuine care for my daughter’s well-being made an immeasurable difference in our lives, for which I will always be grateful.”

“Dr. Anderson is the absolute best! I have received Botox from places in the past but it never seemed to work for very long or at all. After seeing Dr. Anderson for Botox I can never go anywhere else! Truly amazing the difference she has made in how I feel about myself. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel heard no matter what. I am very lucky to have found such a caring and great dentist!”

“Prior to NightLase and NaseLase, I was an occasional mouth breather, clencher/grinder, and there were nights I’d wake up several times. Once receiving my first session, the results were instant, I was able to get the deepest sleep I’ve had in years. I have not mouth-breathed or grinded since. It’s been so incredible being able to sleep in peace!”

“Six years ago, choosing a new Dentist for our family of four was a very important decision. Clearly, This practice’s entire staff take great pride in their work. At every stage, they have always been professional and conscientious for me and my family.”
