At Diablo Oral Surgery & Implant Center in Concord, we specialize in the surgical correction of these conditions, helping restore both function and appearance. Our expert team provides personalized care for each patient, ensuring that the treatment plan addresses speech, feeding, and aesthetic concerns while supporting long-term development and quality of life.

Who Typically Needs Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment?
Cleft lip and palate affect newborns and are typically diagnosed at birth or even during pregnancy through ultrasound. Treatment is recommended for infants to correct these issues early, allowing for normal development of speech, eating, and facial structure. Children born with these conditions often require a series of surgeries over time, in coordination with a multidisciplinary care team, to fully restore functionality. Our compassionate team works closely with families to guide them through every stage of treatment, from infancy through adolescence.
