Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery

Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery

Cleft lip and palate are among the most common congenital facial anomalies affecting newborns. These occur when the tissues of the upper lip or palate fail to join during fetal development, leading to feeding difficulties, speech problems, ear infections, and dental complications. Timely surgical intervention can dramatically improve a child’s quality of life—functionally, socially, and emotionally.

At SurgiDent – Oral & Maxillofacial Clinic, we provide compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-based care for cleft lip and palate. Minor diagnostic and pre-operative procedures are conducted at our clinic in Garfa, while major reconstructive surgeries are safely carried out at our partner hospitals, equipped with advanced surgical facilities and pediatric support.

Meet Dr. Supratim Mondal – Cleft & Craniofacial Specialist


Our cleft care program is led by Dr. Supratim Mondal, a highly skilled Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with a dedicated fellowship in Cleft and Craniofacial Surgery from AOMSI (Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India).

With over 200 cleft surgeries successfully performed across infants, children, and adults, Dr. Mondal brings deep surgical precision, multidisciplinary coordination, and a child-friendly approach to each case. His work spans a wide range of cleft-related procedures—from cheiloplasty and palatoplasty to alveolar bone grafts and secondary cleft revisions.

His expertise makes SurgiDent a reliable destination for cleft treatment not just in Garfa, Jadavpur, and Santoshpur, but across Kolkata as well as West Bengal.

What is a Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate?


  • Cleft Lip: A visible gap or separation in the upper lip that may extend toward the nose.
  • Cleft Palate: An opening in the roof of the mouth (hard and/or soft palate), affecting feeding and speech.
