Procedures - Oral Pathology

Diagnosing oral-facial pathology is an integral component of an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice.  When a patient presents with a suspicious lesion, a tissue biopsy can be performed. As well as a radiological evaluation and blood tests can be ordered to properly diagnose the condition. Early diagnosis and treatment greatly increases your prognosis. There are several warning signs for a pathological process.

  • Red or white patches in the mouth
  • A sore that does not appear to heal properly or bleeds easily
  • A lump on the skin lining the inside of the mouth
  • Constant sore throat or hoarseness
  • Difficulty in chewing or swallowing

If any of these above conditions become present, please contact our office that we may be able to evaluate and treat you as soon as possible.

Testimonials

At the request of my sister, I decided to have Utah Surgical Arts give me a new, stronger chin. Never being one to really criticize my own chin, at first I was skeptical about how it would turn out. The surgery was fast, Dr Park was great, the recovery was as expected. Looking back after, I'm glad I made the decision to go through with it, my new chin adds adds more confidence to my profile. Dr Park was fantastic to work with both before and after the surgery, and the staff was caring and terrific.
