Frenectomy, a modern dental practice, leverages key technology to provide minimally invasive treatment for patients ranging from newborns to seniors. With a special focus on alleviating dental anxiety and fear, we ensure a comfortable experience for all our patients, regardless of age.
What is Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes or loosens a band of muscle tissue, called a frenum, in the mouth or under the tongue. This procedure can benefit individuals of all ages, from newborns to adults, and is especially helpful for those experiencing speech difficulties, dental issues, or breastfeeding challenges.
At our clinics in Farmington, Kaysville, Layton, Ogden, Centerville, Woods Cross, and Salt Lake City, UT, skilled professionals perform frenectomies with precision and care. The procedure involves the use of local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort while the frenum is gently cut and repositioned.
Patients who undergo a frenectomy often experience immediate improvements in speech and feeding. For children and teenagers, this can lead to enhanced social confidence and academic performance. Adults, too, find relief from dental discomfort and improvement in oral hygiene.
In the hands of our experienced team, a frenectomy is a safe, effective solution to a range of oral health issues. We are committed to providing personalized care that addresses the unique needs of each patient, from newborns to seniors, throughout the greater Utah area.
