What Is a Frenectomy?

Dental Implants Fort Myers

A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that corrects issues related to the frenulum, the small band of tissue connecting the tongue, lip, or cheek to the gums. When the frenum is too tight, thick, or short, it can cause complications such as tongue-tie, limited tongue movement, gum recession, or gaps between teeth. These conditions may impact oral function, speech, feeding in children, and overall dental health. Addressing the frenum is crucial for proper oral development, comfort, and functionality.

The procedure involves carefully removing or reshaping the frenum to relieve restrictions and improve oral function and aesthetics. Typically, a frenectomy takes less than fifteen minutes, with minimal post-operative discomfort, making it a simple yet highly effective solution. Fort Myers patients benefit from Dr. Krystal Reyes-Viruet’s precision and experience, ensuring that each procedure is tailored to individual needs. By combining advanced techniques, compassionate care, and careful follow-up, Dr. Reyes-Viruet ensures that patients experience improved tongue mobility, enhanced speech, and a healthier smile. A frenectomy not only addresses functional concerns but also provides lasting benefits for oral health, comfort, and confidence in both children and adults.

A frenectomy restores natural tongue movement, improving speech and overall oral function. Patients experience better communication and greater ease in daily activities. Restoring mobility contributes to comfort and confidence.

  d such an amazing experience with Dr. Krystal Viruet and her team! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and taken care of. Dr. Viruet is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely caring—she takes the time to explain everything and makes you feel completely at ease.

Violeta and Jacky at the front office are just as wonderful. They are friendly, organized, and go above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, from scheduling to check-out.

The whole office has such a warm, positive energy. It’s rare to actually enjoy going to the dentist, but this team truly makes it a great experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional dental care!

  Following a referral from my dentist for severe periodontitis, I was experiencing significant personal challenges. Dr. Reyes-Viruet, Violeta, Jackie, and the entire staff have consistently provided a welcoming and compassionate environment. Their attentiveness to detail and dedication to my care have been exceptional. While this is the initial phase of treatment, I feel understood and supported, and I am confident in my ability to openly communicate any questions or concerns.
