Frequently Asked Questions
About Oral Pathology
What is oral cancer screening?
Oral cancer screenings are part of regular exams to detect early signs of cancer, including unusual growths or lesions in the mouth.
What happens if I need a biopsy?
If a biopsy is required, we will safely remove a small tissue sample to test for abnormalities and provide you with results promptly.
Is oral pathology treatment painful?
Treatments for oral pathology conditions vary, and many can be addressed with minimal discomfort. Your oral surgeon will discuss your treatment options, which may include medications, surgery, or other interventions.
How long does it take to get results from a biopsy?
Typically, biopsy results take about a week to ten days, depending on the laboratory and the complexity of the analysis. Your oral surgeon will inform you as soon as the results are available.
"I highly recommend Dr. Bradstreet for your dental care. He and his entire staff make me feel so comfortable for my visits. I also feel secure in knowing he is using all the latest technology and expertise. I have been going to this same office for more than 15 years, first with Dr. Laura Matin, who was wonderful, too. She retired and picked a great dentist, Dr. Bradstreet, to take over her dental practice."
