Wisconsin Tongue-Tie Center logo

The Wisconsin Tongue Tie Center is part of BKS Dental Group where we treat children with frenectomies. Children may need a frenectomy when the natural movement of their tongue feels restricted. This can result in breastfeeding issues, speech problems, poor oral hygiene, and challenges with oral activities that involve using the tongue. We treat this problem, also known as Tethered Oral Tissues, using our dental laser to provide instant results.

Laser Dentistry for Tongue Tie Treatments

At BKS Dental, we invest in the latest dental technology to provide our patients with a more comfortable and convenient dental procedure. One of the pieces of technology we utilize most often is laser dentistry for tongue tie procedures. Since these procedures are most often completed on children, we want to provide the most comfortable treatment possible. Laser dentistry is less painful, quieter, causes less bleeding, and allows for faster healing than other surgical methods.

We use the dental laser to cut the frenulum to release the lip or tongue to allow for proper movement.
No. Laser dentistry stops bleeding from happening and prevents the need for stitches or sutures.

We Love Helping Our Community

Not only do we provide advanced dental care to the residents of Jefferson County, but we’re also involved in our community. One way we like to help out our community is with our monthly Teacher Treat Bowl award. Each month, any child who visits us for a dental cleaning and exam will have the opportunity to submit the name of a teacher of their choice in a drawing to win $100 to go towards any supplies they need for their class.

Our dentists are also heavily involved in our community. Dr. Stafford developed and leads a science club for 1st-4th grade students. She also belongs to the Fort Atkinson Science Fair Board and is an Ambassador for the Fort Atkinson Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Bender serves on the Fort Atkinson Community Foundation, is highly involved in the Fort Atkinson Chamber of Commerce, and belongs to the Fort Atkinson Optimist and Rotary Clubs. Dr. Kind is involved with the Fort Atkinson High School athletic boosters, and is involved in farming organizations such as agribusiness and Jefferson County Fair Park beef superintendent. Lastly, all three doctors volunteer their time providing dental care at the local community dental clinic.

We all love our community and try to stay involved and help out where we can.

As part of the BKS Dental Group, Bite Align is our specialty practice that focuses on treating TMJ disorders, improper tongue positioning, and airway problems such as sleep apnea or snoring. Oftentimes, these areas are all connected with each other. Treating one problem may lead to relief for multiple symptoms. Let us help you achieve optimal health by addressing these issues.
