Meet Dr. Justin Villafane
A Lincoln Dentist Providing Oral Healthcare and More
Dr. Justin Villafane was born and raised in Beatrice, NE, and is a graduate of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) College of Dentistry. He opened Floss Family Dental & Surgical Center in Lincoln in 2011. Since then, his practice has grown in ways that make it possible to treat many issues you may not associate with dentistry.
In addition to being trained by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, Dr. Villafane is an affiliate of the Breathe Institute, a global leader in the study of airway support, sleep and breathing-related healthcare, and education. He has also studied under Dr. Steven Olmos, an authority on craniofacial pain, TMD, and sleep-disordered breathing.
While implementing this knowledge and training into his practice, Dr. Villafane has discovered a passion for helping patients improve their quality of life through frenectomy.
"I like working on the tongue-tie cases," he says. “I handle many cases involving new parents who are struggling, You do the releases, and they are thrilled. We use a CO2 laser and it's usually a two- to three-minute procedure.”
In fact, Dr. Villafane has himself undergone tongue-tie treatment in conjunction with jaw expansion to address sleep apnea. “I slept better right away,” he says.

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kelly and Dr. Justin and everyone in their office. My little guy has called both of his speech therapists his best friends and loves going to his appointments. They are creative and patient with him (and me!) and he has made great progress. The office staff always have a smile and are helpful and friendly.

Collaborating to Provide Life-Changing Results
Kelly Villafane, MS, L-CCC-SLP, COM is a speech therapist who earned her master's degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She frequently collaborates with her husband, Dr. Villafane, to provide one-of-a-kind dental and speech therapy services for mutual patients dealing with orofacial myofunctional disorders (muscle disorders of the face caused by chronic mouth breathing), often due to tongue ties.
Dr. Justin Villafane's continuing education with the Breathe Institute combined with Kelly Villafane's expertise can help children speak more clearly and breathe more easily. If you suspect you or your child may have a tongue tie restriction, we invite you to request a consultation at our Lincoln dentist's office.
Our Specialty Care
Tongue Tie & Lip Tie
The frenums are bands of tissue found between the gums and the upper and lower lips, as well as under the tongue. If the frenums are interfering with your infant's ability to latch, or causing breathing or speech issues for patients of any age, a laser frenectomy by Dr. Villafane can provide excellent results with minimal discomfort or risks.
Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Obstructive sleep apnea is the repeated interruption of sleep throughout the night, which can cause snoring, daytime fatigue, and even more serious conditions like heart disease. Through frenectomy, a custom nighttime mouthguard, or a combination of both, Dr. Villafane can help you stop snoring, breathe properly, and achieve restful sleep.
TMJ Disorder
TMJ disorder (TMD) is often characterized by pain when chewing, a clicking noise in the jaw, and other issues often caused by inflammation of the jaw joints. Splints, dental work, and medication can all relieve strain on the jaw joints to restore your comfort and improve your quality of life.

I loved our experience with Dr.Villafane and his staff. I have worried about my daughter breathing and her speech since she was about a year old, thanks to Dr.Villafane we discovered she had a tongue tie. I wa given a wonderful explanation of what the procedure was and how therapy would help get her prepared. I was worried about her doing all this since she has sensory issues and stresses out easily. They worked with her and she had no issues! They helped walk me through everything and made sure I had a way to reach them if I had questions. Since we had this done in February my daughter has slept better and everyone can understand her so much easier. I only wish we would have discovered the tongue tie earlier and came to them earlier! Would recommend them 100%!

I cannot say enough good things about this office!! Everyone in the office is so kind and friendly!! One of my twins had a pretty bad lip tie. We had planned on taking him somewhere else but they couldn't get him in until July. A friend recommended this office to me and they got us in right away because they knew the importance of this getting taken care of asap. Dr. Villafane was absolutely amazing along with all of his staff. They made us feel right at home and truly went above and beyond for us. We are so thankful for this office for their kindness and professionalism!! My sons lip healed so well and it looks amazing!! 12/10 recommend!!
