Frenectomy Treatment at Best Dental: Restoring Function and Comfort
Living with a restrictive frenum can impact daily activities like speaking, eating, and even smiling with confidence. At Best Dental in Houston, we understand these challenges and provide expert frenectomy procedures tailored to your unique needs. Our compassionate approach ensures you or your child receives the care needed to improve oral function and comfort.
A frenectomy is a gentle surgical procedure that addresses restrictive tissue connections in the mouth. The two most common types we perform at our Houston office include:
- Lingual Frenectomy: Resolves tongue-tie, where the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth limits movement, potentially affecting speech and eating.
- Labial Frenectomy: Addresses lip-tie, where the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums creates tension that may cause gaps between teeth or gum recession.
When a Frenectomy Makes a Difference
Many patients come to Best Dental after noticing:
- Difficulty with certain speech sounds
- Challenges with feeding, especially in infants
- Persistent gaps between front teeth
- Receding gums near the front teeth
- Limited tongue movement affecting eating or speaking
- Discomfort while moving the tongue or lips
Early intervention often yields the best results, particularly for children who may otherwise develop compensatory habits that affect their development.
The Best Dental Approach to Frenectomy
Our Houston team prioritizes your comfort throughout the frenectomy process:
- We begin with a thorough assessment to understand how the restrictive tissue affects your daily life.
- Our gentle techniques, including advanced laser options, minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.
- For our youngest patients, we create a soothing environment that helps both babies and parents feel at ease.
- After your procedure, we provide personalized guidance to support optimal healing and functional improvement.
Why Families Choose Best Dental for Frenectomy
