At MetroWest Oral Surgical Associates, we go beyond superficial dental care, delving into the diagnosis and management of diseases in the oral and maxillofacial regions.
We deliver superior care and outcomes by diagnosing and treating diseases of the mouth, jaw, and associated tissues through our oral pathology services.
The Importance of Oral Pathology
Our oral surgeons leverage their expertise and advanced diagnostics to identify various oral diseases accurately. Early detection and diagnosis are key to preventing disease progression, allowing for effective treatment and minimizing complications. We tailor treatment plans to your unique situation, aiming for the best possible outcomes.
Our oral pathology services are integral to enhancing oral health, functionality, and overall quality of life. We use a variety of tests and methods to diagnose potential diseases including biopsies, X-rays, and other imaging tests.
Testing can detect a wide range of diseases, where early detection is key. Our tests can identify issues and diseases like:
- Infections
- Cysts and tumors
- Autoimmune Diseases
- Gum Disease
- Oral Cancer
Diagnostic Tools and Tests
Understanding the root cause of oral health issues is vital. Our comprehensive services include different biopsy types, such as incisional for partial lesion removal and excisional for complete lesion removal. These samples undergo histopathological evaluation to determine the precise nature of the issue, guiding our treatment approach.
We prioritize your comfort and address any anxieties about biopsies, ensuring a smooth and comfortable process.
Additional Diagnostic Methods
- Cytopathology: For lesions with a fluid component, offering a less invasive option.
- Frozen Section: Used during surgery for immediate diagnosis, although further analysis may sometimes be needed.
After diagnosing, we craft a personalized treatment plan, which may include surgery, medication, or other therapies, to best address your specific condition.
We provide valuable resources and education on oral diseases and diagnostics to empower you in your oral health journey. Our team is ready to answer questions and clarify any concerns, ensuring you’re well-informed every step of the way.
Understanding insurance and financial options can be challenging. We offer clear cost estimates and help navigate insurance coverage to ensure you’re prepared for your oral pathology services.
