Oral Lesion Diagnosis

Discovering an unusual sore, patch, lump, or other lesion in your mouth can be concerning. While many oral lesions are harmless, some may indicate an underlying infection or a more serious condition that requires prompt attention. At our clinic in Antalya, we provide expert diagnostic services to give you clear answers and peace of mind.

Accurate Diagnosis: The First Step to Effective Treatment

A precise diagnosis is crucial for determining the correct course of action. Our experienced dental specialists perform thorough clinical examinations to assess any abnormalities within your oral cavity. We carefully evaluate the lesion's size, location, and characteristics.

In cases where a definitive diagnosis cannot be made by visual inspection alone, a biopsy may be recommended. This is a simple and minimally invasive procedure where a small tissue sample is taken under local anesthesia and sent to a specialized laboratory for analysis. This step ensures the most accurate diagnosis, allowing us to create a targeted and effective treatment plan if one is needed.

• Detects Early Signs of Serious Conditions: Professional evaluation can identify potentially serious conditions at their earliest, most treatable stage.

• Relieves Patient Concerns: Getting a definitive answer from an expert eliminates the stress and uncertainty of the unknown, providing you with clarity and reassurance.
