SOFT TISSUE SURGERY

Our expert dental surgeons can offer soft tissue surgical procedures within the mouth, including the release of soft tissue attachments and tongue tie release. Our surgeons will ensure the procedures are painless and quick, with minimal downtime.

TONGUE TIE RELEASE

Occasionally, the attachment between the tongue and floor of the mouth can be too far forward on the tongue, making it difficult to move the tongue freely around the mouth. This can affect speech and eating, and releasing these attachments can help to improve function and confidence. The procedure is quick and painless, and can be done under local anaesthetic.

FRAENECTOMY

A fraenectomy is a procedure that involves releasing the attachment between the upper or lower lip and the gum. This is typically done when the attachment is too low and disrupts the proper alignment of the teeth. This procedure is commonly integrated into orthodontic treatment, especially when the attachment contributes to spacing issues between the teeth.
