What Is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure designed to correct issues related to the frenulum, the tissue that connects the tongue, lip, or cheek to the gums. If a frenum is too tight, thick, or short, it can cause problems such as localized gum recession, gaps between teeth, or restricted tongue movement. The procedure involves removing or modifying the frenum to improve oral function and aesthetics. Typically completed in under fifteen minutes, it results in minimal post-operative discomfort.
