A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves the removal or modification of the frenum, a small fold of tissue that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gum or jaw. This procedure is often necessary when the frenum is too tight or thick, causing functional issues such as difficulty in speech, swallowing, or dental alignment.

At our clinic, we perform both labial frenectomies (removing the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums) and lingual frenectomies (releasing the tissue under the tongue). These procedures are quick, minimally invasive, and can be done using traditional surgical methods or laser technology, depending on the specific needs of the patient.
