Frenectomy in Roorkee
A Small Procedure That Solves Big Problems
A small band of tissue called a 'frenum' attaches your tongue to the floor of your mouth, and your lips to your gums. When this band is too tight or too thick, it can restrict tongue movement (tongue-tie), cause gaps between the front teeth (lip-tie), trap gum recession, or interfere with denture fit. A frenectomy is a quick, minor procedure to release it — and it often solves problems patients have lived with for years.
What is Frenectomy?
Our Approach & Solutions
Infant Tongue-Tie (Ankyloglossia)
Helps with breastfeeding difficulties, slow weight gain, and future speech clarity. Laser release takes under 5 minutes.
Adult Tongue-Tie
Releases tongue restriction affecting speech articulation, swallowing patterns, or causing chronic neck tension.
Upper Lip-Tie / Midline Diastema
Releases the upper lip frenum that pulls between the two front teeth, often closing the gap on its own or allowing orthodontic closure.
Lower Labial Frenum
Released when it causes gum recession on the lower front teeth or interferes with lower denture fit.
The Treatment Process
Assessment
We evaluate the frenum position, thickness and the problem it's causing.
Numbing
A topical anaesthetic gel or small local anaesthetic is used.
Release
Using a soft-tissue laser, the frenum is precisely released in 2–5 minutes. No bleeding, typically no stitches.
Post-op care
Simple stretching exercises are taught to prevent reattachment during healing.
Review
A 1-week follow-up confirms proper healing.
