Frenectomy Procedures in Lighthouse Point, FL

Serving Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale

Did you know that overbites and protruding teeth aren’t the only dental conditions that can be helped with frenectomy surgery? A frenectomy is a surgical procedure to remove or release a frenum, which is a small fold of tissue that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to gums or teeth. A frenectomy can also help with gum recession, tongue-tie, and speech impediments. At the Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point, we are proud to offer frenectomy surgery to help our patients achieve optimal oral health.

About Frenectomies

Frenectomies are simple, outpatient procedures that can be performed with local anesthesia. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, and patients can return to their normal activities the same day. Frenectomies can be performed on patients of all ages, from infants to adults. For infants and young children, a frenectomy can help with nursing and bottle-feeding. In older children and adults, a frenectomy can help improve speech.

The Frenectomy Surgical Process

During a frenectomy, Dr. Jennifer Schaumberg will make a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the frenum. She will then carefully separate the tissue from the gums or teeth and remove it. In some cases, Dr. Schaumberg may need to place stitches to close the incision. The stitches will dissolve on their own and do not need to be removed.

After the procedure, you may experience some swelling and soreness in the treated area. This is normal and will subside within a few days. You can help reduce swelling by applying ice to the area and keeping your head elevated. Dr. Schaumberg will give you specific instructions on how to care for your incision and what to expect during your recovery.
