Frenectomy Services
A frenectomy is a simple, effective procedure that can improve comfort and functionality for both children and adults. If you’re struggling with issues surrounding breastfeeding, speech, or dental alignment, a frenectomy could provide the right solution for you.
What is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy deals with the small band of tissue that connects the lips or tongue to the gums or the floor of the mouth (the frenulum). In some cases, the frenulum is too tight, which can restrict movement and cause a range of oral health issues. By performing a simple frenectomy, we can help improve your comfort, health, and the functioning of your mouth.
Why Should You Consider a Frenectomy?
You or your child may need a frenectomy for several reasons. The procedure is commonly used to treat problems with breastfeeding, speech development, and dental alignment.

For Children:
- Speech Development: A tight frenulum can limit the movement of the tongue, leading to speech difficulties. A frenectomy enhances tongue mobility, improving speech clarity and reducing speech impediments.
- Dental Alignment: A tight frenulum can also affect oral development, sometimes leading to gaps between the teeth or gum recession. A frenectomy can help ensure proper dental alignment.
For Adults:
- Gum Health: In adults, a tight frenulum can cause gum recession, leading to periodontal problems. A frenectomy can prevent further gum damage and protect your oral health.
- Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, the frenulum may interfere with braces or other orthodontic treatments. A frenectomy can help ensure the effectiveness of orthodontic procedures and prevent complications.
- Dental Restorations: For patients with dental implants or other dental restorations, a frenectomy can prevent gum irritation or tissue pull around the implant area.
The Frenectomy Procedure
A frenectomy is a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. It typically takes just a few minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Recovery after the procedure is typically very quick. Our dental team will provide you with all the instructions you need for a comfortable and quick recovery.
