Advanced Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie Treatment for Better Speech, Feeding & Smile Aesthetics
At Green Park Dental Hospital, we provide advanced Frenectomy treatment to correct restrictive oral frenum attachments that may interfere with speech, feeding, oral hygiene, orthodontic treatment, gum health, or smile aesthetics. A frenectomy is a simple and effective oral surgical procedure used to release or remove an abnormal frenum (frenulum) inside the mouth.
Frenectomy procedures are commonly performed for tongue-tie (ankyloglossia), lip-tie, gum tension, spacing between front teeth, and oral function limitations. Modern laser-assisted frenectomy techniques offer faster healing, improved comfort, and minimal bleeding.
Our advanced oral surgical and restorative procedures are guided by Dr. Syed Arshad Javeed, known for advanced restorative dentistry, implant rehabilitation, and precision smile correction.
What Is a Frenum?
A frenum (or frenulum) is a small band of connective tissue inside the mouth that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gums and surrounding oral structures.
The two most common oral frenums are:
Lingual Frenum
Located underneath the tongue and connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth.
Labial Frenum
Located inside the upper or lower lip and connecting the lip to the gums near the front teeth.
When these attachments are excessively tight, thick, or positioned abnormally, they may create functional and orthodontic problems.
What Is Frenectomy?
Frenectomy is a minor oral surgical procedure performed to release or remove an abnormal frenum attachment. The procedure improves mobility, reduces tissue tension, and helps restore normal oral function.
Frenectomy may be performed using:
- Conventional surgical techniques
- Laser-assisted techniques
- Electrosurgery methods
Modern laser frenectomy procedures are often associated with faster healing and minimal discomfort.
Types of Frenectomy
Lingual Frenectomy (Tongue-Tie Release)
Lingual frenectomy is performed when the tissue beneath the tongue restricts tongue movement — a condition called tongue-tie or ankyloglossia.
Tongue-tie may cause:
- Difficulty breastfeeding in infants
- Speech difficulties
- Limited tongue movement
- Difficulty eating or swallowing
- Oral hygiene problems
Benefits of Lingual Frenectomy:
- Improved tongue mobility
- Better speech function
- Improved feeding ability
- Enhanced oral function
- Easier tongue movement
Labial Frenectomy (Lip-Tie Release)
Labial frenectomy removes or modifies a thick frenum attached between the upper lip and front teeth.
Lip-tie may cause:
- Gap between front teeth (diastema)
- Difficulty cleaning front teeth
- Gum recession
- Orthodontic concerns
- Denture instability
Benefits of Labial Frenectomy:
- Helps close front tooth gaps
- Improves orthodontic outcomes
- Reduces gum tension
- Enhances oral hygiene
- Supports smile aesthetics
When Is Frenectomy Recommended?
Frenectomy may be recommended for patients experiencing:
- Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia)
- Lip-tie
- Speech difficulties
- Breastfeeding problems in infants
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- Gap between front teeth
- Gum recession due to frenum pull
- Orthodontic relapse
- Limited tongue movement
- Denture instability
A detailed oral evaluation helps determine whether frenectomy is necessary.
Signs & Symptoms of Tongue-Tie or Lip-Tie
You may notice:
- Difficulty sticking out the tongue
- Heart-shaped tongue appearance
- Speech articulation problems
- Trouble breastfeeding
- Food trapping between front teeth
- Persistent gap between front teeth
- Gum pulling or recession
- Difficulty maintaining oral hygiene
Benefits of Frenectomy
May Improve Speech & Tongue Movement when accompanied with speech therapy
Releasing restrictive tissue allows better tongue mobility and oral function.
May help breastfeeding when tongue restriction is clearly contributing
Improved tongue movement may help feeding and latching difficulties.
Supports Orthodontic Treatment
Reduces tension that may contribute to spacing or orthodontic relapse.
Improves Gum Health
Reduces gum pulling and risk of recession around teeth.
Enhances Smile Aesthetics
May help improve appearance by addressing front tooth spacing.
Improves Oral Hygiene
Better tongue and lip mobility support easier cleaning and maintenance.
Laser Frenectomy
At Green Park Dental Hospital, advanced laser-assisted frenectomy may be performed for improved comfort and healing.
Advantages of Laser Frenectomy:
- Minimal bleeding
- Faster healing
- Reduced swelling
- Less discomfort

Recent Advancements in Frenectomy
Modern frenectomy treatment has become more precise and comfortable with advances such as:
- Dental laser technology for minimally invasive soft tissue release
- Digital oral evaluation for better treatment planning
- Improved pediatric assessment protocols for tongue-tie and feeding concerns
- Multidisciplinary care involving dentists, pediatricians, orthodontists, lactation consultants, and speech therapists when needed
- CAD/CAM and digital orthodontic planning for cases involving front tooth spacing or smile correction
- Enhanced post-operative functional exercises to support mobility and reduce recurrence risk in selected patients
These advancements help improve diagnosis, patient comfort, healing, and long-term treatment planning.
Our procedures are guided by Dr. Syed Arshad Javeed, with a focus on precision, safety, comfort, and long-term oral function.
