Detailed Introduction

The Maryland Lip & Tongue tie Center, located at 8808 Centre Park Dr Ste 307, Columbia, MD 21045, is a specialized clinic dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of lip and tongue ties (ankyloglossia) in patients of all ages, with a particular focus on infants and children. The center is led by Dr. Su Kim, a highly experienced and compassionate board-certified Pediatric dentist. Dr. Kim's personal experience as a mother who encountered challenges with nursing due to her own child's ties deeply informs her practice, leading her to pursue extensive education and training in this specialized field. The clinic prides itself on providing a warm, family-centered environment where patient comfort and well-being are paramount. They utilize advanced technology, specifically the LightScalpel CO2 laser, for performing frenectomies. This minimally invasive laser procedure is known for its precision, leading to virtually painless treatment, reduced bleeding, less swelling, and a significantly faster healing process (typically 3-4 weeks). The procedure itself is quick, often taking less than a minute, and usually does not require sedation for infants. The Maryland Lip & Tongue Tie Center addresses a wide range of issues associated with restrictive frenulums, including difficulties with breastfeeding (poor latch, extended feeding times, infant exhaustion, reflux, maternal nipple pain/damage), speech impediments, and limitations in tongue and lip mobility that can impact oral development and overall health. They emphasize comprehensive education for parents and patients, ensuring they understand the condition and treatment plan. Beyond the procedure, the center provides detailed post-operative care instructions and resources, often collaborating with lactation consultants and other specialists to ensure optimal outcomes and support the patient's journey to improved oral function, feeding, and speech.

Maryland Lip & Tongue tie Center is a lifesaver for parents struggling with breastfeeding challenges! My 8-week-old was having trouble latching, and after months of frustration, Dr. Patel identified a severe tongue tie. The laser procedure was quick—just minutes—and gentle, with my baby calming down right after. The team walked me through post-care step by step, checking in daily to ensure healing.

Within a week, breastfeeding became pain-free, and my little one is gaining weight steadily. Their expertise in infant oral issues is unmatched, and their compassion for stressed parents made all the difference. If you’re struggling with latch or feeding, don’t wait—this center truly changes lives.

Maryland Lip & Tongue tie Center was a game-changer for my 3-month-old. After struggling with breastfeeding—she couldn’t latch properly, leaving us both frustrated—our lactation consultant recommended checking for tongue tie. Dr. Lee was amazing: she explained the issue clearly, performed the quick procedure with gentle precision, and followed up with lactation support. Within 48 hours, my baby latched perfectly, and nursing became a joy.

The office is calm and baby-friendly, with staff who understand new parents’ stress. They answered all my late-night questions via phone too. If you’re dealing with feeding struggles, this center is worth every bit of trust.

Dr. Kim did my 3 year old son's Lip tie and Tongue tie surgery. She did an amazing job! She's extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient, and friendly. Her staff is friendly and accommodating to patients. My son was able to relax and watch TV while getting his surgery done. I highly recommend this place!

We went to MD Lip & Tongue tie Center to have my 3 week old son’s lip and tongue ties released. They were absolutely incredible! Dr. Kim was extremely knowledgeable, made us feel comfortable, and made us confident we made the right choice in this place.

I would 100% recommend them to anyone needing a lip or tongue tie procedure. Our son immediately latched better for breastfeeding right after the procedure and has been eating better since.
