Frenectomy
Frenectomy in Sandy Springs, GA
A frenum (also called a frenulum) is a small fold of tissue that connects movable parts of the mouth such as the tongue, lips, and cheeks. These structures play an important role in everyday functions including speaking, eating, and maintaining proper oral alignment.
In some adults, the frenum may be unusually short, thick, or tight. When this occurs, it can restrict normal movement, contribute to speech difficulties, create unwanted spacing between teeth, and place tension on surrounding oral structures.
Renova Dental & Facial Aesthetics offers professional frenectomy services for patients 18 years of age and older. This gentle corrective procedure is designed to restore proper mobility, relieve tension, and improve overall oral function.
Frenectomy can help with:
- Speech clarity and tongue mobility
- Tension in the jaw, tongue, and surrounding oral tissues
- Unwanted spacing between teeth
- Overall comfort during eating and speaking
- Oral balance and long-term dental stability
Although the frenum is a small structure, its impact on oral comfort and function can be significant. A carefully performed frenectomy can provide lasting functional and structural benefits while supporting long-term oral health.
