We often think of tongue or lip ties as issues for infants, but untreated restrictions can affect you at any age. When the tissue connecting your tongue or lip is too tight, it creates constant tension, tension you don’t need to live with. Over time, this restricts movement, impacts your speech, and creates gaps between your teeth. But most importantly for your long-term health, a high frenum pull is a leading cause of gum recession, stripping away the foundation your teeth need to survive.
Dr. Poulos, Dr. Somers, and Dr. Marshall built our practice to help people just like you get the care you need, taking great care of every detail so you can do the one thing that matters: Smile more.
While a frenectomy might sound complex, we at Poulos, Somers & Marshall view it as a functional reset. By releasing the restrictive tissue, we do more than just improve your range of motion. We eliminate the tension that pulls on your gums, stopping recession in its tracks and creating a stable environment for your oral health. Whether you are addressing a speech issue, preparing for orthodontic work, or treating sensitivity, our goal is to restore function and give you peace of mind with a healthy smile.

Diagnosis is the most important part of the process. We take the time to sit with you, use digital imaging to show you exactly how the restriction is impacting your mouth, and explain your options in plain language. You will never feel rushed into a procedure, and apart from bringing yourself and any questions you may have, we’ll take care of the rest. We give you the clarity you need to make the right choice for your health.
We use advanced laser technology and microsurgical techniques to release the tissue with gentle and precise control. Our modern approach minimizes discomfort and speeds up your recovery time. Because we are specialists in soft tissue, we understand the delicate anatomy of the mouth better than anyone. This means your tongue & lip tie procedure goes according to plan, and you get to enjoy your new smile sooner.
