A tight or misplaced frenum, the small band of tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the gum, can cause a range of problems including gum recession, gaps between teeth, difficulty speaking, and restricted tongue movement. A frenectomy is a simple, effective procedure that removes or repositions this tissue to eliminate these issues.
At North Creek Dental Care, board-certified periodontist Dr. Charles H. Goodman performs frenectomies for both children and adults throughout the Tinley Park and Southland area. Our periodontist in Tinley Park provides gentle, precise care so patients can move forward with confidence.
