A frenectomy is a simple procedure that is done in the dental office using local anaesthesia. A hemostat is clamped to the frenum and using a scalpel, the tissue is cut away from the top and bottom of the hemostat. After removal of the tissue, the remaining tissue are sutured to avoid reforming a new frenum.

Does a labial frenectomy hurt?
The frenectomy itself is not painful. They will probably give you three or four shots of local anesthetic, one on each side of the frenulum, and one behind your top two front teeth. Just close your eyes, and try to relax as much as possible. The shots are quick, and there are a lot of instruments in your face during the actual procedure, but it shouldn't hurt.
