A tight or thick frenum can pull on the gums, restrict movement, or affect speech and comfort.
A frenectomy gently releases this tension to restore balance and function.

⚠️ You may benefit from a frenectomy if:
• A tight frenum limits lip or tongue movement
• There’s pulling on the gums or recession risk
• Spacing between teeth is affected
• Oral function feels restricted

Do your partial dentures suddenly feel loose, tight, or uncomfortable?

This is often not a denture problem — it can be a gum and bone support problem underneath.

When gum disease progresses, the bone that supports your teeth and dentures shrinks, changing how your denture fits.

Warning Signs

• Denture feels loose or shifting
• Sore spots on the gums
• Difficulty chewing with dentures
• Bleeding or swollen gums
• Food getting trapped underneath

Why treatment helps

✔ Treats the gum infection below
✔ Prevents further bone loss
✔ Improves denture stability and comfort
✔ Protects remaining natural teeth

Persistent bad breath?
It may be more than food or coffee — it can be a sign of gum infection hiding below the gumline.

Bad breath that doesn’t go away after brushing is often caused by bacteria trapped under the gums, where regular brushing can’t reach.

Warning Signs

• Bad breath that returns quickly after brushing
• Bleeding while brushing or flossing
• Swollen, tender, or red gums
• Taste of infection in the mouth

Why treatment helps

✔ Removes bacteria below the gums
✔ Reduces gum inflammation
✔ Stops progression of gum disease
✔ Restores fresh, healthy breath

Healthy gums = fresh breath.
