Your Partner In Prevention
Sometimes things go wrong, even in the healthiest people.Oral pathology deals with the identification and management of a disease or habit that causes changes in the tissues in and around the mouth. Your dentist may refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to have an unusual spot in your mouth or on an x-ray evaluated. We will perform a full and head and neck examination and might make a recommendation to have the area in question biopsied. Doing a biopsy allows the pathologists that we work with to examine the tissue and tell us what, if anything, is unusual about it. We can then make appropriate recommendations on whether or not more treatment needs to be done.
Should you find yourself in need of an oral surgeon for yourself or a loved one, an important qualification for the professional is whether or not they are board certified.
As board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, all of our doctors have completed dental school as well as years of advanced hospital-based training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, with extensive training in anesthesiology and the management of complex patient cases.
Proactive care is key to keeping your smile healthy and radiant. During your first visit, your AMOS doctor will take a careful look at your teeth and gums to ensure total dental wellness. Comprehensive care is our specialty here at AMOS. From jaw surgery to dental implants, and every dental need in between, we have your smile covered.
Cone Beam CT imaging, or CBCT, provides our surgeons with 3-dimensional imaging of the maxillofacial region, allowing us to identify and locate most problems that would occur in the bony and dental structures of the face. It emits much lower radiation than a medical grade CT but still provides excellent resolution and information.
Our extensive training in oral pathology helps us to identify and treat most any abnormality occurring in and around your mouth. We will help you understand the causes, effects and processes of oral and maxillofacial pathology.

Your oral pathology consultation will include a thorough head and neck exam, and possibly a screening cone beam CT scan, completed conveniently in our AMOS offices. If they notice anything concerning or abnormal, our surgeons may then recommend a biopsy, which can be done under IV sedation in our office for your comfort.
