Cleft Lip & Palate Surgery in Bangalore

Cleft lip and palate surgery in Bangalore by Dr. Dharmesh JB

Cleft lip and cleft palate are common congenital conditions where a baby is born with a gap in the upper lip, roof of the mouth (palate), or both. These conditions can affect feeding, speech development, hearing, dental alignment, and facial appearance. Early and well-planned surgical treatment plays a crucial role in restoring normal function and appearance. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Reconstructive & Microsurgery Clinic, we provide comprehensive cleft lip & palate surgery in Bangalore with a child-focused, staged approach.

Cleft Lip & Palate Surgical Procedures

Cleft care is delivered in a planned, stage-wise manner based on the child’s age and development. Our cleft surgery services include:

Cleft Lip Repair: Surgical correction of the lip to restore normal shape, muscle continuity, and facial symmetry, usually performed in early infancy.
Cleft Palate Repair: Closure of the palate to enable proper speech development and prevent nasal regurgitation of food.
Alveolar Bone Grafting: Bone grafting of the alveolar cleft to ensure dental arch continuity, support tooth eruption, and stabilize the upper jaw.
Secondary & Revision Surgery: Refinement procedures for lip, nose, or palate as the child grows.
Speech & Functional Support: Coordination with speech therapy and orthodontic treatment.

Why Alveolar Bone Grafting Is Important

Alveolar bone grafting is a key step in cleft care, usually performed during mixed dentition. It helps create a continuous dental arch, allows permanent teeth to erupt normally, supports orthodontic treatment, and improves nasal base stability. Proper timing and technique are essential for long-term dental and facial outcomes.

Every child undergoes a detailed evaluation including facial assessment, feeding and speech review, and dental planning. Surgery is planned with a long-term perspective, focusing on growth, function, and appearance. All procedures are performed in a child-safe environment with meticulous surgical technique and careful post-operative monitoring.
