Expert Diagnosis. Compassionate Care. Complete Peace of Mind.
Oral Pathology & Biopsy Services
Changes in the mouth are often harmless — but sometimes, they can signal a more serious condition. At Boston Oral Surgical & Endodontic Associates, our board-certified oral surgeons provide advanced evaluation, biopsy, and diagnostic care for oral lesions, growths, or tissue changes.
Using state-of-the-art imaging and biopsy techniques, we identify the cause of concern quickly and precisely, ensuring you and your doctor have clear answers and a confident path forward.
Early detection saves smiles — and lives.
When to See an Oral Surgeon for Evaluation
Common signs that may require examination include:
- A sore, lump, or lesion that doesn’t heal within two weeks
- Red or white patches on the tongue, gums, or cheeks
- Persistent swelling or thickened tissue
- Chronic pain, numbness, or bleeding without cause
- Changes in texture, color, or sensation inside the mouth
While many of these conditions are benign, accurate diagnosis is essential. Our team provides thorough, compassionate evaluation in a calm, private setting.
