Frenectomy and Connective Tissue Grafting in Portsmouth, NH

 We often see a developmental flaw that results in the lower lip muscle (frenum) attaching too high on the gumline of a lower incisor tooth. This pulls the gums away from the tooth more severely over time. Using a microsurgical tunneling grafting technique, we can reposition the muscle attachment and restore the lost gum tissue, preventing eventual loss of the tooth.
