Oral Biopsies
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. At The Maxfac Clinic, South Mumbai, Dr. Priyanka Engineer, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon and Medical Cosmetologist, provides expert Oral Biopsy services for the evaluation and diagnosis of abnormal oral lesions, growths, ulcers, and tissue changes within the mouth.
An oral biopsy is a minor surgical procedure in which a small sample of tissue is carefully removed and sent for microscopic examination by a specialized pathologist. This helps determine the exact nature of the lesion and guides the most appropriate treatment plan.
Oral biopsies play a crucial role in the early detection of oral diseases, including precancerous conditions, oral cancer, cysts, infections, autoimmune disorders, and benign growths. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes and helps prevent disease progression.
