Biopsy of Oral Lesions

If our dentists detect a potential disease or abnormality during your dental check-up, they may recommend an oral biopsy—a surgical procedure to extract a small tissue sample from the affected area. This biopsy helps our dentists identify the source and nature of the anomaly, including whether it is malignant or benign. Typically, samples are taken from the gums, jaw, or soft tissues of the mouth.

Reasons for an oral biopsy may include:

Presence of lesions: Lesions in the mouth can affect eating and speaking, making a biopsy necessary to determine their cause and provide appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Oral cancer suspicion: If your dentist suspects oral cancer, a biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. Your dentist can then assess its stage and extent, and plan treatment with you.

If you observe signs like sores or lesions in your mouth, it is crucial to seek evaluation from the best dental surgeon in Islamabad at The Urban Dentist’s and consider an oral biopsy for further assessment.
