Oral Diseases
Dr. Wolfrom evaluates and treats a wide variety of pathologies of the head and neck including the oral cavity. They are referred numerous patients from many distinguished clinicians in the field of dentistry and medicine.
Since lesions cannot be diagnosed by simple visual inspection, any suspicious area should be removed and evaluated with microscopic examination to ensure prompt and proper treatment. Most soft tissue procedures are minimally invasive and healing is rapid.
Hard tissue lesions often involve abnormalities of the teeth or jawbones. The most common ones seen in our practice involve cysts around impacted teeth. Removal of these cysts is often curative. Microscopic evaluation will indicate any further treatment or likelihood of recurrence. Other lesions often seen involve tumors (usually benign) of the upper or lower jaw.
Dr. Wolfrom will review your specific situation as well as treatment options at your initial consultation. All tissue removed is sent for histopathologic evaluation by experts in the field of oral and maxillofacial pathology. Biopsy results usually take several days to return, and you will be contacted as soon as the results are obtained.
