Improving the lives of infants and children with craniofacial conditions
Infants, children, and adolescents with craniofacial anomalies have complex problems related to facial appearance, brain growth, feeding, speech, hearing, breathing, dental and oral-maxillofacial development, and psychosocial development.
The NJ Craniofacial Center is an independent group of highly-trained physicians, dentists and specialized therapists who compassionately treat babies and children with a wide range of congenital and acquired craniofacial conditions. Commonly treated conditions include cleft lip, cleft palate, craniosynostosis, positional plagiocephaly, microtia and facial trauma.
Started in 2007 by the physicians who helped write the AAP endorsed Plagiocephaly endoscopic craniosynostosis surgery in New Jersey. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care at all times, utilizing modern technology but limiting the use of CT scans and radiation whenever possible. Call us today for more information.
