What is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a dental procedure that involves the removal or modification of the frenulum, the small band of tissue that connects the lips, tongue, or cheeks to the gums. This procedure is commonly performed when the frenulum is overly restrictive, causing issues such as tongue-tie (ankyloglossia), lip-tie, or discomfort in speaking, eating, or maintaining oral hygiene.
The procedure is minimally invasive, often performed with a laser for precision and reduced healing time, and can significantly enhance oral function and comfort.
