What is Frenectomy?

A frenectomy is a simple periodontal procedure that removes or modifies restrictive tissue bands (frenums) in the mouth. This treatment addresses lip and tongue ties that can interfere with proper oral function, speech development, eating, or orthodontic treatment by carefully releasing the tight tissue connections that limit normal movement and development.

Frenectomy FAQs

If you have any questions about frenectomy, we’ve got answers.

Frenectomy can benefit patients of all ages who experience functional limitations from lip or tongue ties. We use gentle laser techniques and photobiomodulation therapy to ensure comfortable treatment regardless of age, with procedures typically completed in just 15-30 minutes.

Recovery is generally quick and comfortable. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and utilize biologics to minimize discomfort and promote rapid healing of the treated area.

While some improvement may be noticed right away, full functional benefits typically develop over 2-4 weeks as you adapt to increased tongue and lip mobility. We may recommend speech therapy or functional exercises to maximize your results and help you adjust to improved oral function.
