Frena are muscle attachments connecting your gums, lip, and tongue. Sometimes, the way that the frenulum connects your gum to your upper or lower lip can cause cosmetic concerns or interfere with your oral health.
In these situations, we are likely to surgically remove it, with a procedure called frenectomy.

REQUEST APPOINTMENTWho’s a Good Candidate for a Frenectomy?
Frena can vary in both length and thickness, but there are situations where a frenulum can cause difficulty. Typically, this procedure is best for patients who:
- Have a high frenum attachment but don’t have an attached gingiva. This can cause gum recession.
- Have a large frenum that prevents teeth from coming together. This can cause an unsightly tooth gap.
- Have an abnormal frenum that could interfere with their orthodontic treatment. A frenectomy can lead to better orthodontic outcomes.
What to Expect from Treatment

“I’m very glad I discovered Dr. Ferber. I came to him because I had a multitude of dental problems. The teeth were just a disaster, and I was totally embarrassed to smile. I kept replacing teeth and going in for crowns and root canals. Finally, I decided I wanted to go for a full-mouth implant. I wish I had done this many years ago. The results are just exemplary. If you’re suffering like I was for many, many years, do not hesitate.”
“People ask me all the time where I got my new smile done and I tell them Dr. Ferber. Before I got the work done, I didn’t feel very confident. I didn’t want anyone to see me smile. And now, I love to smile, and I get so many compliments on my smile. It was an easy, painless experience. The staff was great, and the price was right.”
“Dr. Ferber really knows his stuff. Since I had my teeth really done over, I have my smile back. And I have my giggle back! I would say that anybody questioning what they should do, they should come here. The whole team treats you like you’re family. They’re warm and they care.”
