Procedure · Frenectomy

Release restrictive oral tissue when it affects function.

A frenectomy removes or releases a tight frenum when it interferes with tongue movement, eating, orthodontic movement, or another treatment goal.

Consultation area at Village Pointe Oral Surgery

Why it may be recommended

The frenum is a small fold of tissue connecting parts of the mouth. When it is unusually restrictive, a dentist, orthodontist, or surgeon may recommend release.

Planning the procedure

The team evaluates the tissue and the reason for treatment, then explains anesthesia, aftercare, and how the procedure coordinates with orthodontic or restorative care.
