1. What Is a Frenectomy?

A frenectomy involves the surgical removal or reduction of the frenum under the tongue or upper lip when it interferes with function or oral development.

2. When Is a Frenectomy Needed?

It’s recommended for tongue-tie (ankyloglossia), speech impediments, breastfeeding issues, spacing between teeth, chewing difficulty, or denture instability.

3. How Is a Frenectomy Performed?

Under local anesthesia, the frenum is cut using either a scalpel or a soft-tissue laser. Laser-assisted procedures reduce bleeding and healing time.
