Gentle Laser Frenectomy Treatment
Laser frenum removal, also known as a frenectomy, is a minor surgical procedure used to remove or adjust the frenulum tissue that restricts movement in the mouth. The frenulum is a small band of tissue that connects areas such as the lips or tongue to the gums. When this tissue is too tight or short, it can interfere with normal functions like speaking, eating, or oral hygiene. At The Tooth, we perform laser frenectomy procedures using advanced technology for greater precision and comfort.
Laser treatment allows the procedure to be completed with minimal bleeding and faster healing compared to traditional surgical methods. Patients in Sacramento, Roseville, and Yuba City benefit from laser frenectomy because it provides a quick and effective solution for restricted oral movement.

Signs You May Need a Frenectomy
A frenectomy may be recommended when the frenulum tissue is too tight or positioned in a way that restricts normal oral function. This condition can affect both children and adults.
You may benefit from laser frenum removal if you experience:
- Difficulty speaking clearly
- Challenges with eating or swallowing
- Gaps between front teeth caused by tight tissue
- Difficulty brushing or maintaining oral hygiene
- Infants struggling with breastfeeding due to tongue-tie
Our dentist will carefully evaluate your condition and determine whether a frenectomy is the best treatment option.
What to Expect During Laser Frenum Removal
Laser frenectomy is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that uses a specialized dental laser to gently remove or adjust the tight frenulum tissue.
The procedure typically involves:
A dental evaluation and diagnosis
Application of local anesthesia for comfort
Using a dental laser to precisely remove or release the frenulum
Minimal bleeding and reduced swelling
A short healing period with follow-up care if needed
Because the procedure uses laser technology, many patients experience a smoother recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
