Book nowA frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that releases a short or abnormally attached frenum of the tongue, lip or cheek to restore normal movement. A tight frenum can interfere with breastfeeding, speech, cause a gap between the teeth (diastema) or gum recession — the procedure removes that restriction. It is usually done under local anaesthesia, using a laser or conventional technique.

- A gap (diastema) forms between the front teeth because of the lip frenum
- Frenum tension pulls on the gum and causes gum recession
