Imagine walking into a room and lighting it up with your radiant smile.
At Orono Dental Care, our teeth whitening treatment is specifically designed to help you achieve just that. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes stains and discoloration from your teeth, resulting in a brighter and more attractive smile. Whether it's from coffee, tea, red wine, or simply the passage of time, our professional teeth whitening services can effectively reverse the effects of these common culprits. Our team, including Dr. Megan Pint, Dr. Karl Berg, Dr. Mike Skramstad, and Dr. Brianna Hammer, uses advanced whitening techniques to ensure you leave our office with a smile that’s several shades brighter.
The Benefits of Frenectomies
0
1
Improved Breastfeeding and Bottle Feeding
A tongue- or lip-tie can interfere with a baby’s ability to latch, leading to feeding struggles for both infant and parent. A frenectomy can create immediate improvements, making feeding more comfortable and efficient while promoting healthy weight gain.
0
2
Supports Clearer Speech Development
As children grow, restricted tongue movement may contribute to delays or challenges in articulation. By releasing the tissue early, you’re supporting better speech outcomes in the most formative years.

3
Better Long-Term Oral Health
Tight frenums can impact how teeth develop and contribute to gaps or gum recession. Treating these issues early can help guide more natural dental growth and reduce the need for orthodontics later on.

Here's How It Works
Step 0
1
Evaluation and Discussion
Your child’s journey begins with a careful evaluation at our Orono office. The doctor will examine your child’s oral tissues and listen to any concerns you may have, whether related to feeding, speech, or mobility. We’ll walk you through the diagnosis and offer a detailed explanation of the frenectomy procedure so you know exactly what to expect and feel fully supported.

Gentle In-Office Procedure
If a frenectomy is recommended, the procedure is typically quick and minimally invasive. Using advanced tools like soft-tissue lasers, we can perform the release with little to no bleeding and greater comfort. Most babies and children feel minimal discomfort and can often feed or return to normal activity shortly afterward.

Focused Follow-Up and Care
After the procedure, we provide personalized aftercare instructions to support healing and maximize therapeutic results. Our team is here for follow-up visits as needed, and we’re always available if you have questions post-treatment. Our goal is smooth recovery and optimal function, for both immediate relief and long-term health.
