Understanding Frenectomy Procedures
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves the removal or adjustment of the frenulum, a small fold of tissue that connects parts of the mouth, such as under the tongue (lingual frenulum) or inside the upper lip (labial frenulum). In some cases, an overly restrictive frenulum can cause challenges with speech, breastfeeding in infants or even proper tooth alignment.
We evaluate each patient’s unique needs to determine if a frenectomy is the right solution. This quick and straightforward procedure is often performed with advanced laser technology, which minimizes discomfort, reduces healing time and promotes better outcomes. Our dentists and team take the time to explain the process and answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel confident and informed.
We also prioritize follow-up care to monitor your recovery and make sure the results meet your expectations. Our team is dedicated to providing clear guidance and support every step of the way, making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.

A frenectomy offers several important benefits:
