Cutting of the lingual and lip frenulum with the laser

Exceldent – the Dental Clinic in Szczecin also deal with cutting of the lingual and lip frenulum.

If the frenulum in too short or improperly attached, the lip pulls the gum during mimic movements. This can be a cause of problems like:

• lingual frenulum – may limit the movements of the tongue and cause incorrect pronunciation,
• frenulum of the upper lip – inadequate attachment may be the cause problems with central incisors closure which causes cosmetic defect (diastema),
• frenulum of cheek – may cause problems with denture fitting,
• frenulum of the lower lip – by the effect of pulling (pull syndrome) may pull the gums from the teeth and cause exposed root necks.

The procedure of frenulum cutting, which we at Exceldent have to offer, is short and completely painless. It is performed under local anesthesia. The dentist as Exceldent use the surgical laser SmartM PRO from lasotronix. By using the laser the procedure is bloodless.

Cutting of the frenulum increases the mobility of the upper lip and/or tongue. Recommendations for frenulum cutting with the use of the laser at the Exceldent Dental Clinic:

• orthodontic – before fixing an orthodontic appliance
• prosthodontic – frenulum overgrowth and its incorrect attachment may cause problems in denture fitting and even prevent its proper use.
• logopedic – incorrect attachment of the upper lip frenulum or lingual frenulum may cause a decreased movement ability resulting in impaired pronunciation.
