Correcting Tongue and Lip Tie

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 lead to problems such as localized gum recession, gaps between teeth, or restricted tongue movement, which can affect oral function and overall dental health. The procedure involves removing or modifying the frenum to improve oral function and aesthetics, allowing for better mobility and alignment. Typically completed in under fifteen minutes, a frenectomy results in minimal post-operative discomfort.

Dr. Andrew Gobran at Monroe Dental and Implants employs precise techniques to ensure that the procedure is quick and effective, emphasizing patient comfort throughout the process. After the frenectomy, patients often experience immediate improvements in tongue mobility and oral function. This simple yet transformative procedure can significantly enhance both speech and dental aesthetics, addressing issues that may otherwise lead to further dental complications down the line.
