About Dental Frenectomy

A dental frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed by a dental surgeon to remove or modify a frenum, a small band of tissue connecting the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the jawbone. The most common types are lingual (under the tongue) and labial (connecting the lip to the gums). This quick, in-office procedure is typically done using a scalpel, laser, or electrocautery to release restrictive tissue. It is often recommended to address issues like tongue-tie (ankyloglossia), which can impede breastfeeding in infants or cause speech and swallowing difficulties in older individuals, or to correct a high lip attachment that contributes to a gum gap (diastema) or gum recession. The goal is to improve oral function, comfort, and aesthetics.

Who is this surgery for?

Ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) causing breastfeeding difficulties in infants (latching, poor weight gain).
Speech impediments (like difficulty pronouncing 't', 'd', 'l', 'r', 's', 'z') related to restricted tongue movement.
Presence of a diastema (gap) between the upper front teeth due to a thick or low-attaching labial frenum.
Gum recession or tissue pull contributing to periodontal problems.
Discomfort or irritation from the frenum rubbing against teeth or gums.
Difficulty with oral hygiene due to restricted movement.
Preparation for orthodontic treatment (braces) or denture fitting.

How to prepare

Initial consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon for diagnosis and treatment planning.

For infants, a feeding assessment with a lactation consultant may be recommended.
Pre-procedure instructions may include avoiding certain medications (like blood thinners) as advised.
For adults, a routine dental cleaning may be suggested prior to the procedure.
Arranging for transportation home, especially if sedation is used.
Fasting may be required if general anesthesia or sedation is planned.

For tongue-tie procedures in infants, immediate breastfeeding is often encouraged.
