Frenectomies
Dr. Alex Martin
offers frenectomy services to address tongue-tie and lip-tie conditions. A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves removing a small piece of tissue that may restrict the movement of your tongue or lips.
This procedure can help improve speech, breastfeeding, and overall oral health. If you or your child is experiencing difficulties with speech, eating, or breastfeeding, schedule a consultation with Dr. Martin to discuss whether a frenectomy is right for you.
Root Canals (single canals only)
Dr. Alex Martin offers single-canal root canal therapy to save your natural teeth. A root canal is a procedure performed to treat a tooth with a damaged or infected pulp. During a root canal, the infected pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned and sealed. This procedure can help alleviate pain, prevent further infection, and save your tooth from extraction. If you're experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, schedule a consultation with Dr. Martin to determine if a root canal is the right treatment for you.
