Oral pathology is the study and diagnosis of diseases that affect the mouth, jaw, and surrounding areas. At Dr. Dondo Dental Excellence, we provide comprehensive oral pathology services to diagnose and treat conditions such as oral cancer, cysts, and other abnormalities that may affect your oral health. Benefits of Oral Pathology: • Early detection and diagnosis of oral diseases • Targeted treatment options for a variety of conditions • Comprehensive care with a focus on prevention
Oral cancer screenings are part of regular exams to detect early signs of cancer, including unusual growths or lesions in the mouth.
If a biopsy is required, we will safely remove a small tissue sample to test for abnormalities and provide you with results promptly.
Treatments for oral pathology conditions vary, and many can be addressed with minimal discomfort. Your oral surgeon will discuss your treatment options, which may include medications, surgery, or other interventions.
Typically, biopsy results take about a week to ten days, depending on the laboratory and the complexity of the analysis. Your oral surgeon will inform you as soon as the results are available.
"Most people have a family dentist. Someone you call to schedule a cleaning or address a tooth problem. I live quite a distance from Bend and recently had a sudden dental need. I reached out to Dr. Dondo who worked me into his busy schedule and rescued me! He had me on my way with a painless fix! A dentist who "pivots quickly" to make room for a first time patient deserves high praise!! Is it too much to say I may move to Bend because I know a great dentist?! Don't tempt me! Grateful for you Dr. Dondo!!"
