Case Description
I am a 44 year old man. I'd like to have a Lingual Frenectomy performed to increase the length and mobility of my tongue. I can say six and kicks without people asking me to repeat myself. I'm rather embarassed and it mentally affects me by not being able to stick my tongue out as far as most people I know. Does insurance cover this operation? I have Oklahoma Health Network, Medicare and Tricare Standard.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
