What Is a Frenectomy?
Dentist Auburn Hills
A frenectomy is a relatively minor yet crucial surgical procedure designed to address issues related to the frenulum, the connective tissue that attaches the tongue, lip, or cheek to the gums. This procedure is particularly important when the frenum is excessively tight, thick, or short, conditions that can lead to a variety of oral problems. These issues may include localized gum recession, gaps between teeth, restricted tongue movement, or difficulties with speech and oral function. During a frenectomy, the frenulum is carefully removed or modified to alleviate these problems and improve overall oral function. The procedure is performed with precision to ensure optimal results, focusing on enhancing both the function and aesthetic appearance of the mouth. Typically completed in under fifteen minutes, the frenectomy is a quick and effective solution that offers significant improvements with minimal discomfort.
