Frequently Asked
Questions about
Oral Pathology
What symptoms might indicate a need for an oral pathology exam?
The initial healing period lasts about two weeks, but full integration of the bone graft can take several months. We’ll monitor your progress during follow-up visits to ensure successful healing before proceeding with implants.
How is oral cancer diagnosed?
Our team prioritizes your comfort, offering sedation options to ensure a painless experience during the procedure. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with prescribed pain relief.
Is oral pathology testing painful?
Bone grafting material can come from your own bone, a donor source, or synthetic materials. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best option for your needs.
What happens if an abnormality is found?
Typically, a healing period of several months is required after a sinus lift to allow the bone graft to integrate. Once the new bone is stable, we can proceed with implant placement.
How can I reduce my risk of oral cancer?
With proper care, the results of a sinus lift can be long-lasting, providing a stable foundation for implants that will last for many years.
