Biopsy Overview: 

An oral biopsy is a procedure conducted to obtain a sample of tissue from the mouth or oral cavity for further examination under a microscope. This procedure is often performed when there is suspicion of oral pathology, such as suspicious lesions, ulcers, or abnormal growths in the mouth. The purpose of the biopsy is to determine whether the tissue is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and to establish a definitive diagnosis.
At our practice, we understand the importance of accurate and reliable results when it comes to diagnosing oral pathology. That's why we collaborate with a specialized oral pathologist to analyze and interpret the biopsy samples. An oral pathologist is a highly specialized dental professional with advanced training and expertise in diagnosing diseases and conditions of the mouth and surrounding structures.
