Oral cancer is a dangerous disease that affects thousands of people every year. If not identified and treated promptly and effectively, the results can be deadly. Oral pathology diagnoses and treats mouth diseases, including oral cancer, tumors, cysts, and lesions. Our team offers prompt oral pathology screenings and biopsies to help catch and treat concerns before they develop further. One of our primary concerns is the diagnosis of oral cancer, which, on average, can affect upwards of 53,000 Americans. At Advanced Dental Implant Center, we utilize our expertise and advanced technology to provide patients with thorough oral cancer treatments.
Initial oral pathology examinations are simple procedures that include visual inspection within the mouth for any abnormalities previously listed. A biopsy will be performed to conduct tests if we identify anything suspicious.
We commonly use an Ellman radiofrequency dental laser to take biopsies, reducing the need for scalpels or bleeding. Performing biopsies when concerns are first detected leads to the best results in successfully removing cancers, tumors, or cysts. At Advanced Dental Implant Center, we strongly recommend receiving regular pathology tests, even if your results are negative, as diseases can develop over time.
One of the best ways to maintain good oral and overall health is to perform routine at-home checks for abnormalities. If you notice any pain, discomfort, or bumps in your mouth or throat, you should immediately seek professional assistance.
The beginning stages of the pathological process can often involve red or white patches on the tissues of your mouth, chronic sore throat, hoarseness, and/or difficulty chewing or swallowing. Oral cancers or other conditions can develop at almost any age, so it is recommended that everyone, regardless of age, stay vigilant about their health.

Advanced Dental Implant Center are part of a professional affiliation of dental implant practices operated by oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and restorative dentists. With the specialized techniques used by Advanced Dental Implant Center, such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants, nearly all patients qualify for same day dental implants from a dental perspective. Prospective patients require an initial workup that includes an oral examination, 3D radiographic evaluation, and medical history consultation. Some patients with certain medical histories may not qualify for surgical treatment. “Teeth-in-a-day”, “one day implant teeth”, “same day implant teeth”, etc. refers to the fact that on the day of surgery, patients will have teeth removed (unless all teeth are already missing, dental implants placed, and a screw retained prosthesis secured to these implants on the same day as the surgery. While this first set of teeth are permanent in the fact that they are secured to the dental implants by screws, these teeth are typically not the final set of teeth as the patient will be allowed to heal prior to the delivery of the final set of teeth. Furthermore, the patient will be allowed to suggest desired changes to the initial set of teeth prior to the fabrication of the final set of teeth. The initial set of screw retained implant teeth are permanent in the fact that they are not removable by the patient and can only be removed by personnel in a dental office. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime depending on the age of the patient when the implants were originally placed. Studies show that dental implants can last over 25 years with proper home care and regular professional maintenance.
