What Is a Frenectomy?

Dentist Reston

A frenectomy is a minor, straightforward surgical procedure designed to correct issues with the frenulum, the tissue connecting the tongue, lip, or cheek to the gums. When the frenum is too tight, short, or thick, it can restrict oral function, causing complications like gum recession, tooth spacing, or tongue-tie. These issues can affect a patient’s speech, feeding, and overall oral health.

The procedure involves removing or altering the frenum to alleviate restrictions, improving mobility and overall function. A frenectomy typically takes less than 15 minutes and results in minimal discomfort, making it a quick and effective solution for those dealing with restrictive frenulum issues. By restoring optimal tongue and lip movement, this procedure can significantly enhance daily oral activities and improve quality of life, with results that promote both better function and aesthetics.

I have been a patient of Dr Sonny Kim for about 2 years now. Before finding Dr Kim, I was looking for a dentist I could trust for YEARS until my best friend referred me. I have had the best experience and I will share some of my reasons: 1) I love how he reviews your x-rays with you so you understand your own care plan 2) I always get my teeth cleaned by Maria and she is the absolute best. She is personable, knowledgeable and makes my visits much more enjoyable 3) My teeth have been in the best shape they’ve ever been due to the care from Dr Kim’s office I really can’t say enough good things about Dr Kim, his staff & his office. My husband will also be going to his office now after trying multiple other dental offices!

I've been going to Dr. Kim's practice for years and stay for the quality of care and service. The staff is wonderful, Helen and Maria always make me feel cared for and comfortable, and everyone is highly competent when it comes to scheduling, cleanings, etc. Dr. Kim consistently provides knowledgeable recommendations and really takes the time to understand his patient's needs. I've recommended to all my friends and they've unanimously received the same quality of service. Thanks, Advanced Family Dentistry!

Great experience every time. My wife has been going here for nearly 20 years. When we were married and I moved here I began going too and now our daughter, who at 3 & 4 years old has had a great experience. Always a joyful experience. Dr Kim doesn't recommend anything more than you need for healthy teeth which is nice. Sometimes doctors can try to sell you stuff that's no necessary.
