The lip may be abnormally attached to the gums causing the gums to “pull up”
Frenectomy procedure removes the abnormal attachment
Tongue
The tongue may be attached to the gum and bone very tightly causing difficulty in speech (“tongue tied”)
Frenectomy procedure removes the attachment making the tongue more mobile
Denture
The attachment of the cheek to the gums may not be ideal for a good denture fit
Repositioning these attachments make the denture more comfortable and may improve their fit
Building up soft tissue
When the gums are thin, thicker parts of the gums (usually the roof of the mouth) will be grafted to the area of the thinner gums to increase gum thickness
Helps decrease sensitivity around implants
Improve function and esthetics
