Lip Frenectomy Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
Lip frenulum surgery (frenectomy) is a simple procedure that releases or adjusts the small band of tissue connecting the lip to the gum when it limits movement or affects the teeth.
When is it indicated? It may be recommended if the frenulum separates the front teeth, makes hygiene difficult, or, in infants, interferes with feeding.
What to expect? It's a brief procedure, usually with local anesthesia and a quick recovery with basic aftercare.
Which specialist performs it? It's carried out by a dentist (odontólogo) or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon; in children, a pediatric surgeon may be involved. The price varies depending on the technique and the city; it's best to assess the actual need with a professional.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
