Biopsy

A Diagnostic Tool for Oral Health at Art De Dental

At Art De Dental-Aesthetic Surgery and Laser Clinic, we understand that maintaining optimal oral health goes beyond routine checkups and cleanings. Sometimes, diagnosing certain conditions requires a closer look at your tissues. This is where a biopsy comes in.

What is a Biopsy?

A biopsy is a procedure where a small sample of tissue is removed from your mouth for microscopic examination by a pathologist. This examination helps diagnose various oral abnormalities, including:

Oral cancer

Early detection is crucial for successful treatment. A biopsy can confirm the presence or absence of cancerous cells.

Precancerous lesions

Certain lesions may develop into oral cancer. A biopsy allows for early intervention and treatment to prevent progression.

Infections

Unusual growths or lesions might indicate an underlying infection. A biopsy can identify the specific cause for targeted treatment.

Autoimmune diseases

In some cases, a biopsy can help diagnose autoimmune conditions affecting the oral cavity.

What to Expect During a Biopsy at Art De Dental

Our team at Art De Dental prioritizes your comfort and well-being throughout the biopsy process. Here’s a general idea of what to expect:

Consultation

We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and the reason for the biopsy. This helps determine the best type of biopsy for your situation.

The Procedure

Depending on the location and type of tissue, different biopsy techniques can be employed. Some biopsies involve taking a small tissue sample with a scalpel or laser, while others use a needle for aspiration.

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is typically used to numb the area, minimizing discomfort.

Recovery

Biopsies are often outpatient procedures. Recovery time varies depending on the type of biopsy performed. We will provide specific post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing.
