Free the tissue,
improve the function.
A frenectomy removes or repositions the small tissue bands that restrict tongue movement, pull on the gums, or prevent natural gap closure — improving speech, comfort, and oral health.
A quick procedure with lasting functional benefit.
The frenum is a small band of tissue connecting the lip to the gum or the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When it's too thick, too tight, or attached too close to the gumline, it can cause problems — tongue-tie in infants, speech difficulties, gum recession, or a persistent gap between the front teeth.
At Aliva Aesthetics, frenectomies are performed under local anaesthesia with precision surgical technique. Laser-assisted options reduce bleeding and promote faster healing. Most patients recover comfortably within a few days.
When a frenectomy is needed.
Frenectomies are indicated in these specific situations where the frenum is causing functional or aesthetic problems.
Tongue-Tie (Ankyloglossia)
A tight lingual frenum restricts tongue movement, affecting infant feeding, speech, and oral hygiene.
Maxillary Diastema
A thick upper labial frenum attaches between the front teeth, preventing the gap from closing — even after orthodontics.
Gum Recession
A labial frenum pulling on the gumline causes recession and root exposure.
Speech Difficulty
Restricted tongue mobility from tongue-tie affects articulation of certain sounds.
Infant Breastfeeding
Tongue-tie preventing a proper latch during breastfeeding — frenectomy often dramatically improves feeding.
Post-Orthodontic Relapse
A frenum preventing a gap from staying closed after orthodontic treatment.
Types of frenectomies we perform.
We perform both lingual (tongue) and labial (lip) frenectomies using surgical and laser techniques.
Lingual Frenectomy (Infant)
Tongue-tie release for infants — improving latch and early feeding, usually within the first weeks.
Lingual Frenectomy
Tongue-tie release to improve tongue mobility, speech, and oral hygiene.
Maxillary Labial Frenectomy
Removal of the tissue band between the upper front teeth — allowing natural gap closure.
Mandibular Labial Frenectomy
Repositioning the lower labial frenum to prevent gum recession in the lower arch.
Laser Frenectomy
Laser technique for minimal bleeding, no stitches, and faster healing.
Post-Orthodontic Frenectomy
Performed after braces to prevent diastema recurrence.

What Our Clients Say
Your questions, answered honestly.
Common questions about frenectomy — answered honestly.
Performed under local anaesthesia, so there's no pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort for 2–3 days afterward is managed with simple pain relief.
Yes — lingual frenectomy for tongue-tie in infants is a safe, quick procedure with minimal risk. We use gentle technique and the smallest necessary instruments.
Most adults recover within 3–7 days. Infants recover remarkably quickly — often within hours.
Frenectomy removes the tissue preventing closure, but the gap may need orthodontic treatment to close — especially if it's been present for years.
For many cases, laser reduces bleeding, requires no stitches, and heals faster — making it more comfortable, especially for anxious patients or children.
Re-attachment can occur if post-operative stretching exercises aren't performed. We give you clear instructions to prevent this.
