Frenectomies

A minor oral procedure designed to improve comfort, movement, and function when a tight frenum causes concerns.

What is a Frenectomy?

/

A frenectomy is a small procedure that removes or adjusts a tight band of tissue called a frenum. This tissue can sometimes restrict movement in the lips or tongue, creating challenges with speech, feeding, oral hygiene, spacing, or general comfort.


At Altitude Dental in Coquitlam, frenectomy care is approached with clarity and comfort in mind. Our team assesses the concern carefully and explains whether treatment may help improve function and support better oral health.

Frenectomy Treatment

A frenectomy can help reduce tissue restriction and improve movement in the mouth.

  • Tongue-Tie Support: Treatment may help improve tongue movement when restricted tissue affects function or comfort.

  • Lip-Tie Support: Adjusting a tight upper or lower lip frenum can help improve mobility and oral hygiene access.

  • Improved Oral Function: Frenectomy treatment may support better speech, feeding, brushing, or overall mouth movement.

  • Comfortable Healing: Our team provides guidance to help patients understand recovery and care after the procedure.
