Diagnosis and Surgical Management of Oral Lesions
The mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures can be affected by a variety of cysts, tumors, and systemic conditions. Early identification of abnormal tissue changes is critical to effective treatment.
Our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to evaluate, biopsy, and surgically manage oral lesions, with the ability to coordinate follow-up care and reconstruction when needed.
If a concerning area is found during an exam or referred by another provider, we may recommend:
Our surgeons have both dental and medical training, enabling them to approach pathology with a deep understanding of oral anatomy and function.
If you’ve been referred for evaluation or have noticed a change in your oral tissue, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. Early diagnosis improves outcomes.
