Oral Pathology

Early detection and expert evaluation for the health and safety of your smile—and your overall well-being.

What is oral pathology?

Oral pathology involves identifying and treating abnormalities in the mouth, such as cysts, lesions, or unusual tissue changes. These concerns can arise anywhere in the gums, cheeks, tongue, or jaw, and may indicate infection or disease.

Prompt evaluation is key to preventing complications and ensuring your oral and overall health remain protected.

I absolutely love this place.

My experience here was just outstanding. Nobody likes to go to the periodontist, but if u do have to go, this is the place to go. Dr Guy and her staff from the girls in the front to the staff in the back really made my visits easy and painless.
