How Does Oral Pathology Work?
Oral pathology works by identifying and diagnosing diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures through a combination of clinical examination, diagnostic tests, and tissue analysis. Initially, we will perform a thorough evaluation of your oral health, which may include visual inspections, palpations, and medical history reviews. Suspicious lesions or abnormalities are often further investigated using diagnostic tools such as biopsies, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Tissue samples from biopsies are examined microscopically to determine the nature of the condition, whether it is benign or malignant. Based on the findings, we can develop and recommend appropriate treatment plans to address the identified issues and improve the patient's oral health.

Sexton Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Reviews
First off, huge thank you to Dr. Russ. Couldn’t be happier to have had him as my Doctor. Everyone there was amazing and made it a lot less nerve racking. Getting 4 wisdom teeth pulled isn’t something easy to stomach depending on what kind of person you are but, their professional attitude and knowledge made it 10 times easier to get through the process.
Dr. Weiskopf’s gifted demeanor radiates with professionalism, kindness, gentleness, and a caring spirit. He explained my treatment plan thoroughly and eased my concerns. His staff mirror him!
Dr. Weiskopt is amazing!!! Coming in the lady in the front was very nice and helpful. Once my daughter went to the back, Savannah explained everything, comfort my daughter, and was juat simply amazing! I was expecting to be there like 45 mins but he did the procedure withing like 10 mins! She ia doing well, not having any problems. She loved the whole experience! I totally recommend to see a professional surgeon like Dr. Weiskopt!! ☺️🙏♥️
This was a wonderful experience which Incant believe I am saying after having my wisdom teeth removed.
