Restore Function and Confidence with Cleft Lip and Palate Repair
Cleft lip and cleft palate repair are surgical procedures designed to correct gaps or openings in the lip and the roof of the mouth (palate), which occur when facial structures do not fully develop during pregnancy. At Summit Implant Dentistry of Kansas City, our team provides compassionate, expert care to improve both the function and appearance of the mouth, helping children and adults regain confidence and live healthier lives.
Who Typically Needs Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate Repair?
Cleft lip and cleft palate repairs are most commonly performed on infants, typically within the first year of life, but older children and adults may also require additional corrective procedures. These repairs are crucial for patients who experience difficulty with feeding, speaking, or breathing due to the gaps in their lip or palate. Early intervention is ideal for helping children develop normal speech and eating habits as they grow.
