Our Approach To Cleft Dental Care
At 76 Harley Street, our specialist paediatric dentists provide specialist-led dental care for children with cleft lip and palate, focusing on prevention, restoration and long-term oral development. Every treatment plan is carefully tailored to support the individual needs of each child, delivered in partnership with our in-house and external multidisciplinary team.
Our approach includes:
Early Dental Assessments
We monitor the development of your child’s teeth and jaws from infancy, allowing us to identify cleft-related concerns early and guide timely interventions.
Preventive Care
Children with cleft conditions may be more vulnerable to tooth decay. We offer bespoke oral hygiene advice, fluoride applications, and fissure sealants to protect developing teeth and maintain long-term oral health.
Restorative Treatment
Where teeth are missing, malformed, or poorly positioned, we provide gentle restorative care including fillings, crowns and paediatric prosthetics — helping to restore function and appearance as your child grows.
Orthodontic Management
Our paediatric dentists work closely with Dr Ali Payam Sattarzadeh & Dr Samir Moghanchi, specialist orthodontists at 76 Harley Street, to manage jaw development, tooth alignment and bite correction. We take a phased, age-appropriate approach, often beginning with interceptive orthodontics and continuing into adolescence.
Collaborative Multidisciplinary Care
We coordinate seamlessly with cleft teams, including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, ENT consultants, and speech therapists, to support your child’s comprehensive cleft journey. Our goal is to ensure continuity of care from early childhood through to young adulthood.
