TRUTH IS —

Tongue- and lip-ties are often overlooked or misdiagnosed.

While oral restrictions certainly aren’t the source of every issue, the fact is nearly one in four people have one. The hindered mobility they cause can be detrimental to proper airway, face, and jaw development, and can negatively affect everything from eating to speaking to sleeping.

Dr. Villafane is passionate about resolving tongue and lip mobility and restoring quality of life. He has trained extensively in order to catch even the most unusual and unnoticed cases. If an oral tie is the source of your problem or your child’s, there’s good news: it is usually treatable and the results can be incredible.

When you trust us, you can count on:

Safe treatment.

We use an extremely advanced CO2 laser procedure to fully release oral ties in a quick, sedation-free process.

Highly qualified care.

With Dr. Villafane’s years of experience and training from two of the top clinicians in the field, you can be certain you’re getting the best possible care.

Therapeutic support.

Lasting relief.

With precise treatment and specialized therapy, we help resolve issues related to the restrictions and ensure that recovery is complete and confidence is restored.
