Kid & Adult Frenectomies
In Independence, MO

For some kids and adults, smiling, speaking, and drinking can be restricting. Typically, this is due to an overdeveloped frenum, also known as a lip and tongue tie. Lip and tongue restrictions hinder the ability to move the mouth freely, causing a major interference with living and smiling to the fullest.

Why is a frenectomy needed?

If you or your child require a frenectomy, you probably have some questions. Surgical procedures typically sound extreme but don’t fret - frenectomies are simple, safe, and most importantly, minimally invasive. Our doctor only recommends them when absolutely necessary. For example, when a lip or tongue tie is causing restriction in the mouth, preventing the ability to speak, eat, and smile freely. If you or your child have been struggling with any of these issues, give us a call! It’s never too late to get the treatment needed to help you or your child live and smile without limits.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but my experience here was nothing short of amazing. I absolutely hate going to the dentist, yet Dr. Crumbaugh and her staff completely changed that for me. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly — from the Angela at the front desk to the assistants and Dr. Crumbaugh herself.
