Dr. Lynn specializes in treating infants who are diagnosed with tongue-tie, a condition present at birth that restricts the tongue’s range of motion presenting difficulties in feeding and swallowing. Through a simple surgical procedure, Dr. Lynn aids in releasing the tissue that attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth. Proud of the growing number of babies who are relieved of the difficulties caused by tongue-tie, Dr. Lynn also finds great satisfaction in helping adult patients who require bone graft reconstruction prior to dental implant placement. “In performing this procedure, patients who lack enough jaw bone become candidates for dental implants,” explains Dr. Lynn. “There is absolutely no substitution for permanent teeth; it’s truly life-changing.”
