What is an oral biopsy?

Oral biopsies are medical procedures that involve the removal of a small tissue sample from the mouth or oral cavity for examination under a microscope. They are typically performed to diagnose various oral and systemic conditions.

Some of their benefits are:

• Diagnose various oral conditions, including oral cancer, oral lesions, precancerous lesions, and other abnormalities.
• Help in determining the appropriate treatment plan for oral diseases.
• Help differentiate between various types of oral lesions, which is crucial for making an accurate diagnosis and determining the most suitable treatment.
• For patients undergoing treatment for oral conditions, biopsies can be used to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust it as necessary.

An oral biopsy may be considered if you’re experiencing persistent oral health symptoms like:

• Sores
• Unusual lumps
• Discolored patches

Your medical history and professional evaluation by our specialists will determine if a biopsy is needed. Seeking an accurate diagnosis and peace of mind are also valid reasons for considering an oral biopsy. If you have concerns, consult with us at (720) 798-1200 for personalized guidance.
