Biopsy (Hard and Soft Tissue) – Accurate Diagnosis for Your Oral Health
At our Huntington Beach’s Specialty Dental Clinic, we prioritize your health by offering biopsy procedures to accurately diagnose any unusual tissue changes in your mouth. Whether it’s soft tissue (like gums or mucosa) or hard tissue (such as bone), biopsies help detect early signs of diseases, infections, or other conditions requiring timely treatment.
What Is a Biopsy?
A biopsy is a simple, safe procedure where a small sample of tissue is removed from your mouth and sent to a laboratory for detailed examination. This helps your dental specialist understand what’s causing any abnormal signs or symptoms.
Types of Biopsies We Perform
Soft Tissue Biopsy: Removal of a small piece of gum, cheek lining, or other soft tissues to diagnose conditions like ulcers, lesions, or abnormal growths.
Hard Tissue Biopsy: Involves taking a sample of bone or calcified tissue, usually to investigate bone infections, cysts, or tumors.
Why Are Biopsies Important?
Detects early signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions
Identifies infections, inflammatory diseases, or benign growths
Guides appropriate treatment planning and care
Provides peace of mind through accurate diagnosis
What to Expect During a Biopsy
The biopsy is typically done under local anesthesia for your comfort. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort. After tissue removal, the sample is analyzed by specialized labs, and results are discussed during follow-up visits.
