Frenectomies

Speech impediments or difficulty in performing routine oral functions such as chewing, swallowing, or speaking are problems that could be due to a condition known as frenum attachment, which affects millions of people worldwide. Fortunately, at Smile Flossophy, we offer a solution to this problem through our frenectomy service, available as part of our periodontics division.

What is Frenectomy?

A frenectomy is a minor oral surgical procedure designed to remove or reposition the frenulum, a small fold of tissue that connects the lips, tongue, or cheeks to the jaw or gum tissue. When the frenulum is too tight, it can cause a range of problems such as speech difficulties, restricted tongue movement, gum recession, and even tooth displacement. In such cases, a frenectomy can help restore proper oral function and prevent further complications.

At Smile Flossophy, we understand the importance of proper oral function and the impact it has on your quality of life. That’s why we offer the latest in frenectomy procedures to help you overcome these challenges and enjoy a healthier, more fulfilling life. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to perform safe, effective frenectomy procedures that are tailored to your specific needs.

Aside from improving oral function, frenectomy procedures also have other benefits. For instance, a frenectomy can help reduce the risk of gum disease by preventing the accumulation of bacteria and plaque between the teeth and gums. It can also help improve the appearance of your smile, especially if you have a “gummy” smile caused by a high frenulum attachment.

The idea of undergoing a surgical procedure can be intimidating.
