When it comes to lip and tongue tie release procedures, our leading technology is available to the wider community. We are proud to be one of the first Australian dental surgeries to acquire a laser capable of performing lip and tongue tie releases quickly, safely, and effectively. 

Each year, we treat several hundred patients with these conditions, and we believe ourselves to be leaders in the field of laser lip and tongue tie releases in Australia.

A tongue tie is an inherited condition that limits the tongue’s range of motion due to a tight or thick attachment from the bottom of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. This restriction can lead to a variety of functional issues.

A lip tie occurs when the muscle attachment under the upper lip develops longer or thicker than ideal. This can reduce the ability to evert (lift or open) the upper lip, potentially causing discomfort and complications.

Both tongue and lip ties can cause significant pain and discomfort for children and adults. At Super Smiles Dental, we are committed to treating these conditions with compassion, care, and professionalism using the most advanced techniques available.

If left unaddressed, these conditions may:
- Alter facial structure and development
- Cause chronic discomfort or pain
- Lead to feeding and speech difficulties in children (tongue tie)
- Impact tooth alignment and feeding (lip tie)

Unfortunately, these issues do not improve over time on their own and require medical intervention for proper resolution.
