What is a frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a quick, minor procedure that releases a tight band of tissue (a frenum) under the tongue or lip — the cause of tongue-tie and lip-tie. Releasing it can improve a baby's feeding, a child's speech, and tongue or lip movement, and sometimes helps close a gap between the front teeth. At SmilePath Dental in Mansarovar, Jaipur, we perform frenectomies gently and quickly, under local anaesthesia, with simple aftercare. Pricing is transparent, and you'll get an exact quote at your free consultation.
What to expect
We first assess the frenum and how much it's restricting movement, feeding, or speech. We gently numb the area, then release the tight band — this part is quick. A few dissolvable stitches may be placed, or sometimes none are needed at all.
We'll show you simple stretching exercises that help the area heal open rather than reattaching, and the whole thing usually heals within a few days. For babies, the procedure is gentle and fast, and many feed more easily soon after.
Who it's for
A frenectomy helps babies, children, and adults in Jaipur affected by a tongue-tie or lip-tie — a baby struggling to latch and feed, a child whose speech is affected, a lip-tie causing a front-teeth gap or feeding trouble, or anyone with restricted, uncomfortable tongue or lip movement.
