Trust Us for Safe and Precise Biopsy Procedures

Oral biopsies are performed to examine suspicious lesions or abnormal tissue in the mouth or jaw.

The biopsy allows us to determine whether a lesion is benign or malignant, enabling us to develop the most appropriate treatment plan for your oral health.

How Oral Biopsy Works

Precision Testing for Accurate Diagnosis

During an oral biopsy, a small sample of tissue is carefully removed from the affected area. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring comfort throughout the procedure. The tissue sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis, and results typically take a few days. Once the results are in, we discuss the findings and outline the next steps for treatment based on the diagnosis.
