A frenectomy is a surgical procedure that removes or alters the frenum or frenulum, which is an abnormal fold of oral tissue or underlying muscle. The labial frenum is attached to the upper lip between your two upper front teeth. A labial frenectomy may be necessary in some patients who are undergoing orthodontic treatment because the frenum is pushing the teeth apart or interfering with proper alignment. When the frenulum that attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too short or tight, it can restrict the normal motion of the tongue. In some cases, the frenulum may even attach all the way to the tip of the tongue. The presence of a very restrictive lingual frenulum is also called ankyloglossia, or a tongue - tie. It is a congenital anomaly in some people that can result in speech problems, difficulty eating, hygiene issues, or lead to bite deformities. After a lingual frenulectomy, patients often experience significant relief and gain the ability to mobilize the tongue well beyond what was possible before the procedure.

Sinus Surgery is necessary for people who have chronic recurring sinusitis but dont get better after trying medication or other treatments. The goal of sinus surgery is to enlarge the sinus openings to allow for better drainage. Sinus surgery that makes it easier to place dental implants.

Pre - prosthetic surgery can be employed to mold the bone into the proper shape. Such procedures can include: Bony prominences removal, Tuberosity reduction, Shaping of alveolar bone, Removal of excess gum tissue.
A cyst is an abnormal sac which forms in the body and is filled with a gas, liquid or solid substance.

Myofascial pain syndrome (previously known as myofascial pain and dysfunction syndrome (MPDS or MFPDS) can occur in patients with a normal temporomandibular joint. It is caused by muscle tension, fatigue, or (rarely) spasm in the masticatory muscles. Symptoms include pain and tenderness in and around the masticatory structures or referred to other locations in the head and neck, and, often, abnormalities of jaw mobility. Conservative treatment, including analgesics, muscle relaxation, modification of parafunctional behavior (eg: Teeth Clenching and Grinding), and use of oral appliances usually is effective.
