Frenectomy

Small corrections can make a big difference in oral function and comfort.

Frenectomy Treatment

Improving Oral Function and Comfort

A frenectomy is a simple and precise procedure that removes or adjusts the frenulum  the small band of tissue that connects the lips or tongue to the gums. When this tissue is too tight or restrictive, it can affect speech, oral development, gum health, and even orthodontic results.

Using advanced techniques, including laser technology when appropriate, our goal is to perform this treatment with minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery, helping restore proper oral function and long-term periodontal health.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a minor oral procedure that removes or reshapes the frenulum, the small band of tissue connecting the tongue or lips to the gums. It is performed when this tissue restricts movement or causes oral health concerns.
When is a frenectomy necessary?
A frenectomy may be recommended when a tight frenulum causes tongue-tie, difficulty speaking, gum recession, spacing between teeth, or interferes with orthodontic treatment.
Is a frenectomy painful?
Yes. If left untreated, gum disease can damage bone and supporting structures. Early treatment helps preserve natural teeth.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within a few days. Any mild discomfort typically resolves quickly, and normal activities can often be resumed shortly after the procedure.
Can a frenectomy help with orthodontic treatment?
Yes. In some cases, an abnormal frenulum can create tension that causes spacing between teeth or interferes with orthodontic results. A frenectomy can help support long-term orthodontic stability.
Do you accept dental insurance?
Yes. We accept most insurance plans that include periodontal coverage, including MCS, MMM, Triple-S, and other dental insurance providers. Our team can help verify your benefits and guide you through the coverage details before your treatment.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept several payment options for your convenience, including CareCredit, Mastercard, Discover, and VISA. Please note that American Express (AMEX) is not currently accepted.
