Jaw tumors and cysts that grow in the soft tissue of the mouth or jawbone can vary in size. These growths are usually noncancerous (benign), but they can be aggressive and invade the surrounding bone and tissue and may displace teeth. Treatment options vary with the type of growth or lesion, the state of the growth, and symptoms. Our surgeons perform surgery, or in some cases, use medical therapy or a combination of surgery and medical therapy to eliminate the concern.
Removing cysts and tumors of the mouth requires a thoughtful plan that prioritizes patient comfort:
Diagnosis: Our team uses comprehensive diagnostic techniques including advanced imaging to determine the best course of action.
Procedure: We employ the latest minimally-invasive surgical procedures to make sure that we are both efficient and mindful of patient comfort. Various anesthesia options are available to ensure that you are at ease throughout the procedure.
Post-Operative Care: Our team will provide detailed care instructions and are available to address any concerns you may have while you recover. Swelling and some pain may occur and often are treated using over-the-counter pain medications.
