A frenectomy (also known as a frenulectomy or frenotomy) is the removal of a frenulum, a small fold of tissue that prevents an organ in the body from moving too far:

  • Lingual frenectomy (of the tongue) as treatment for ankyloglossia (tongue tie)
  • Labial frenectomy (of the lip)
  • A frenectomy can also be performed to remove a section of tissue (the frenulum) that connects two teeth.lingual frenectomy 1

Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure performed by a dentist to expose a greater height of tooth structure in order to properly restore the tooth prosthetically. This is done by incising the gingival tissue around a tooth and, after temporarily displacing the soft tissue, predictably removing a given height of alveolar bone from the circumference of the tooth or teeth being operated on. While many general dentists perform this procedure, they frequently refer such cases to periodontists.
