Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie Treatments (Frenectomies)
Frenectomies can make a life-changing difference for infants and children experiencing feeding, speech, or oral development challenges.
A restrictive tongue-tie or lip-tie may cause:
✓ Difficulty breastfeeding or bottle-feeding
✓ Speech development concerns
✓ Mouth breathing or sleep issues
✓ Dental alignment problems
Our gentle, precise frenectomy procedures are performed with your child’s comfort and safety as the top priority.

What Parents Are Saying
Dr. Funny and her team were absolutely wonderful with my two toddlers. One came in resistant and tearful, but the staff knew exactly how to make her feel at ease. The office itself is gorgeous and so inviting, which made a big difference from the moment we walked in. By the end of the visit, both kids were smiling and agreed to come back. That kind of care is rare. So glad we found this practice.

I recently took my 8-year-old son in for a cleaning and the experience was nothing short of amazing! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which immediately put both of us at ease. The office itself is super cute, clean, and very kid-friendly, which made the whole visit enjoyable for my son. I truly appreciate the care and attention they gave, and we will definitely be coming back.
Britany W.
Our family absolutely loves Dr. Danielle Funny Stephens! From the moment you walk through the door, the entire staff make everyone feel welcome. They’re always courteous, professional, and prompt — making every visit smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend her practice to any family looking for compassionate, professional, and top-quality dental care!
Kelly B.
I first met Dr. Funny 15 years ago when I lived in the University area and my son was just 4 years old. Even after moving to South Carolina, I didn’t mind making the drive so that he could continue seeing her—she has always been such a wonderful dentist. Now, I also bring my daughter to her because I simply couldn’t find anyone else who compares. Dr. Funny is truly amazing!
Denisse K.
As always, my child’s visit was a wonderful experience! Thank you Ms. Melissa for answering our questions and confirming to floss before brushing! 😁 and the cleaning was great! Dr. Funny, thank you for your patience and kindness. You’re such a beautiful presence! Everyone here is professional, caring, and respectful. Thanks to you all!
