Frenectomy (Lip/Tongue Tie Removal)
Frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves the removal or reshaping of the frenulum—a small fold of tissue that restricts the movement of the tongue or upper lip. At Dental Options Dental Clinic in Kyrenia, we perform safe, quick, and comfortable frenectomy procedures using modern techniques to improve oral function and overall health.
Who Commonly Requires a Frenectomy?
- Tongue-Tie (Ankyloglossia): Restricts tongue movement, potentially causing speech, swallowing, and breastfeeding difficulties in infants.
- Lip-Tie: Creates tension in the upper lip, making feeding, oral hygiene, or orthodontic treatment more challenging.
Who Can Benefit from a Frenectomy?
- Infants experiencing difficulty with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding
- Children with delayed speech development or restricted tongue mobility
- Adults with gum recession, gaps between teeth, or tension in the lips
- Orthodontic patients requiring increased flexibility in the lip or tongue region
