At DDTA Dental, your comfort is our top priority. We use a local anaesthetic or numbing gel to ensure the tongue tie procedure is virtually pain-free, especially for older children and adults. The treatment is so quick for infants that many settle within minutes after the procedure. Most patients report mild discomfort, if any, during or after the process.
Book your consultation to learn how we keep tongue tie treatment gentle and stress-free.
The actual tongue tie procedure at DDTA Dental takes only a few minutes. However, we allocate enough time in your appointment to talk through your concerns, answer any questions, and provide aftercare guidance. From start to finish, most visits take around 30 to 45 minutes.
We will take the time to ensure you feel informed and confident. Contact us today for your personalised care plan.
Not at all. While many people think tongue tie only affects newborns, it can also impact toddlers, children, teens, and even adults. Issues like speech difficulties, trouble swallowing, or tension in the jaw and neck can all be linked to untreated tongue tie. At DDTA Dental, we offer tongue tie treatment in Launceston for patients of all ages.
If you are experiencing symptoms, it’s never too late to find relief—let us talk about your options today.
In some cases, yes. While the tongue tie release can immediately improve tongue mobility, follow-up therapy, like speech or myofunctional treatment, may be recommended to help retrain tongue movement, mainly if speech habits have formed around restricted movement.
Our team at DDTA Dental can guide you and work with trusted local providers if extra support is needed. We will support you with a full care plan, including any referrals needed for the best long-term results.
Like any procedure, tongue tie treatment carries minor risks, such as slight bleeding, swelling, or temporary soreness. However, complications are very rare.
At DDTA Dental, our team follows strict safety and hygiene protocols to ensure the procedure is done with the highest level of care. As a QIP-accredited practice, your safety is always our priority.

Many parents of newborns notice improvements in feeding right after treatment. For older children and adults, changes in speech, eating, or comfort can happen within days or over a few weeks, depending on the severity of the tongue tie and any follow-up therapy. Our team monitors your progress closely to ensure you get the best outcome.
