Tongue Tie Surgery Cost in Dallas, TX

Tongue-tie, also known as ankyloglossia, is treated with one of two surgical techniques. These techniques are frenotomy and frenuloplasty. With a frenotomy, the patient can have anesthesia, but it may not be necessary as there aren’t many nerve endings or blood vessels in the treatment area. This also means the procedure isn’t very painful. It’s also very quick for the patient.

The other technique, the frenuloplasty, can fix more complicated cases of tongue-tie. General anesthesia is necessary and surgical tools and stitches are used. Here at Beyond Dental & Implant Center, this procedure is non-laser-based using sterile scissors and a blunt dissecting method, which allows for faster healing with less scar tissue and may offer better results than laser surgery.

Depending on the type of surgery technique required as well as the particular provider, tongue-tie surgery can cost several hundred dollars or more, but this cost can be covered by insurance. Also, the surgery might be necessary if it’s affecting a child’s oral development and how he or she receives nutrition and communicates with others.

Often, insurance providers and plans will cover the cost of a frenotomy or a frenuloplasty. If you’re unsure whether your particular provider or plan would cover the cost of a procedure with us at Beyond Dental & Implant Center, you can give us a call so we can look into it for you. At our clinic, our procedures are affordable for many patients, and we work with most major health insurers to help you cover the costs.

At Beyond Dental & Implant Center, we know that your time is worth a lot to you, and that’s why the surgical techniques we use allow for faster healing and less scar tissue than surgical techniques that use lasers. Typically, tongue-tie surgery requires little recovery time. Only a week or two is usually necessary for a patient to make a recovery. We will suggest certain exercises that can help with recovery and help ensure no further treatment is necessary.
