Frenectomy is a dental surgical procedure for adjusting or modifying the lingual or labial frenum, which are the bands of tissue that connect the tongue or lips to the mouth. The procedure is often necessary when the frenum is too short or tight, which can cause problems with speaking, eating, or breastfeeding, and can affect teeth alignment or cause gum recession. Frenectomy is usually quick and performed under local anesthesia, involving a small incision in the frenum. Recovery is also fast, with possible sensitivity or discomfort resolved in a few days. The results often bring significant improvements in the mobility of the tongue or lips, with a positive impact on speech and eating. At Advanced Dentistry, our team of experienced doctors is dedicated to providing this quality procedure, aiming to improve patients' quality of life.
Frenectomy is a dental surgical procedure that involves adjusting or modifying the lingual or labial frenum. The frenum is a band of soft tissue that connects the bottom of the tongue to the bottom of the mouth or the inside of the upper or lower lip to the gum.
This procedure is often necessary when the frenum is too short or too tight, a condition sometimes called "tongue-tie" or "lip-tie". This can cause problems with speech, eating and, in the case of young children, breastfeeding. If the labial frenum is involved, it can cause problems with teeth alignment or lead to gum recession.
Frenectomy is usually a quick procedure and can be performed under local anesthesia, depending on the age and comfort of the patient. The doctor will make a small incision in the frenum, to release it and allow it to move more freely. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove a part of the frenum.
Recovery after frenectomy is usually fast. The patient may experience some sensitivity or discomfort in the treated area, but this usually resolves in a few days. The doctor may recommend specific exercises to help stretch and mobilize the treated area.
After frenectomy, patients often notice a significant improvement in the mobility of the tongue or lips. This can lead to improvements in speech, eating, and, in some cases, breathing.
