Frenectomy in Guildford
Gentle frenectomy treatment at Woodbridge Hill Dental Practice for tongue-tie, lip-tie, or soft tissue restrictions affecting comfort and function.
What Is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy in Guildford is a minor surgical procedure used to release or adjust a tight frenum. The frenum is a small fold of tissue that connects parts of the mouth, such as the upper lip to the gum or the tongue to the floor of the mouth.
In some patients, a tight frenum can affect speech, eating, gum health, orthodontic treatment, denture fit, or tooth spacing.
A Frenectomy May Be Recommended For:
- Tongue-tie
- Lip-tie
- Restricted tongue or lip movement
- Speech concerns
- Gum pulling or recession
- Denture stability issues
- Orthodontic concerns
- A persistent gap between front teeth

The procedure is usually straightforward and carried out under local anaesthetic. Healing is often simple, and your dentist will provide clear aftercare advice.
