Benign Lesions, Non-Cancerous Growths in the Oral Cavity

Effective Diagnosis and Treatment for Oral Health

Benign lesions in the mouth or jaw are non-cancerous growths that can still cause discomfort or affect oral function. At Airlie Oral Surgery, we provide thorough evaluations to ensure that benign lesions are diagnosed and treated appropriately. Our team offers a range of solutions, from monitoring to surgical removal, to ensure your oral health is maintained without unnecessary worry.

How Benign Lesions Are Treated

Precision Care for Non-Cancerous Growths

Benign lesions are typically diagnosed through clinical evaluation, X-rays, and occasionally a biopsy. If treatment is necessary, surgical removal may be recommended to prevent growth or irritation. Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable experience, and the procedure is minimally invasive. Afterward, we provide aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and reduce the risk of complications.

FAQs

What are benign lesions?

Benign lesions are non-cancerous growths that can occur in the mouth or jaw, including cysts, fibromas, or papillomas.

Not always. Some benign lesions may be monitored if they don’t cause any symptoms, while others may require removal.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the surgery.

Recovery typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the size and location of the lesion.

In some cases, benign lesions may recur, but this is rare, and we take steps to minimize the chance of recurrence.
