Frenectomy

How Is The Procedure Performed?

While frenectomy is performed using a variety of techniques, the use of surgical lasers is considered to be the most efficient and the safest method. At Chapel Gate Dental, we perform laser technique as it helps improving the accuracy of the treatment. Instead of cutting the frenum, we use lasers to vapourise it. As incision is not involved in this procedure, there is no risk of complications and bleeding. The process is not painful and can be completed within a few minutes.

Post Procedure Care:

After the procedure, there may be slight bleeding and the area will look like a large sore. Our dentist will prescribe medicine for topical application which facilitates quick healing. With proper care, healing from a frenectomy will not take more than a couple of weeks. In babies, the problem can be solved by breastfeeding.
