Dr. Porter, you absolutely rock!!! You are by far the most technical dentist that I have ever had. You make me feel comfortable when I am there. When you say “pain free,” you mean it!
Breastfeeding is excellent for your baby’s dental and overall health. Yet this can be frustrating if your baby has difficulty latching onto the breast due to a tongue-tie or lip-tie. These conditions can prevent your child from moving their tongue freely because of how it is attached to the base of the mouth or upper lip.
We can treat tongue-tie and lip-tie in Gillette, WY comfortably so you can:
If your baby is having trouble latching, do not wait any longer to get help. Call Synergy Dental Center at 307-228-7114 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Porter.
Dr. David Porter has training and hands-on experience in treating tongue- and lip-ties. The process can be completed painlessly with the Erbium Laser. No cutting is needed, and no sutures are necessary. Our treatment has multiple other benefits:
We take a holistic approach to general dental care. This is just one example of our desire to address problems when they are small so they don’t lead to long-term oral and systemic health concerns.
These problem can be treated easily, and it’s important to do so. Children can experience poor health consequences when lip-ties and tongue-ties are not corrected. For babies, this can lead to malnutrition, sleeping problems, and dehydration. Ties also can affect mothers. If your child can’t feed correctly, breastfeeding can be painful. You may suffer a milk duct blockage or breast tissue infection. Mentally, this can cause anxiety, depression, and stress for parents.
As they get older, a tie can cause your child to experience:
Dr. Porter and our team want you and your child to avoid those issues. That’s why we strongly encourage you to visit us to treat tongue-tie and lip-tie in Gillette, WY. Call 307-228-7114 or schedule online for your appointment at Synergy Dental Center.

Since having my treatment (for migraines), I have not had to take any medication, go to the ER, visit doctors, spend endless money on useless treatment, or miss family events or my children’s lives.
I have fibromyalgia and have suffered with headaches for years. Your staff saw that I needed help and discussed TruDenta with me. I am halfway through and the difference it has already made is life changing!
I absolutely LOVE this office! Great doctors, great staff, and great facility. I could not have asked for more. Dr. Porter introduced me to a therapy that cured my migraines! It was amazing! I have not had a headache or migraine in over 9 months. The doctors are well trained in all areas of dentistry, and they offer a variety of services that no other dentist in the area offers. I would highly recommend this office to anyone in search of quality dentistry!
My first experience was super amazing and comfortable. First biologic, natural dental health exam. Was very pleased, felt so much better after! I am definitely sticking with Dr. Porter and his team! Totally recommend Synergy Dental
Dr. Porter and his team are amazing! Skilled and compassionate. As someone with a fear of dentistry, they turned what could have been a traumatic experience into a positive and comforting experience.
As always I was given the best care, always looking out for my best interest. As well as a follow up call the next day to make sure I was doing well and satisfied with my service.
Dr. Porter and his staff are very professional & friendly. I’m always hesitant to go to the dentist office but they make the experience very comfortable and reassuring. I have not yet met any staff that doesn’t make you feel like family. They are very helpful and informative about your health and options.
I’m super impressed with the first visit and focus they put on how teeth are connected to the entire body and how it impacts us. Thorough tests that help address root issues and great, friendly service. Great experience and I’d highly recommend!
They are absolutely amazing. Everyone there is very nice and you can tell they really care about you. They make sure that your satisfied and give great advice on your dental health. I’m came in needing my teeth cleaned but they went beyond looking out for my health. I did the bacteria treatments and I came out with the best dental health I have had in years. I would highly recommend them.
It would be ideal if a tongue-tie or lip-tie problem could be resolved without intervention. However, professional help is necessary to help your child achieve normal movement of their tongue and lips. Without resolving the issue, your child could have trouble properly nursing, speaking, and breathing.
A tongue-tie or lip-tie procedure is a quick and painless procedure at our office. Instead of using a scalpel or other instrument, Dr. Porter will use a low-power dental laser to easily and quickly remove the excess tissue. Your child won’t feel a thing, plus your child will heal quickly and with minimal discomfort. Best of all, no stitches will be needed.
A tongue-tie or lip-tie problem should be corrected when it’s first noticed. The younger the child is, the better off they’ll be from a quick, painless intervention. There’s no reason to put off treatment once the condition has been identified. Treating the problem early on will help your child avoid eating, breathing, and speech problems as they grow.
No. Because we use a laser to release your child’s tongue-tie, it’s a relatively quick and simple procedure with minimal pain. Your infant will likely have little to no awareness of what is going on. If your child is a bit older, we can use kid-friendly sedation through laughing gas to help keep them calm.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
