What Is a Tongue or Lip Tie?
A tongue tie (ankyloglossia) occurs when the small band of tissue under the tongue is too tight, short, or restrictive, limiting normal tongue movement. A lip tie occurs when the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums restricts lip movement.
While some ties are mild, others can interfere with important daily functions and development.

What Is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a quick procedure that releases restrictive oral tissue to improve movement and function.

Dr. Raya is really nice, professional and personable.
"Not to mention she was gentle, that’s very important, as my son’s comfortability was a priority to her. I am extremely appreciative of that. So happy we found this dentistry – you can consider us ‘regulars’ now. I’ve already told my brother to bring my nieces here. I will continue to recommend Raya Sunshine to everyone I know. Thank you Dr. Raya and staff. You 3 ladies were truly amazing today and made our experience a great one. See you in 6 months. 😊👏"
