Pathology of the head and neck area can be complex. The Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon is uniquely placed with extensive specialist training to diagnose and manage benign and malignant disease of the maxillofacial region. Frequently, general dentists are the first to notice something abnormal and request specialist opinion. While many disease processes are able to be diagnosed clinically, sometimes a biopsy is required to be certain. These services are available under local anaesthetic, IV sedation and general anaesthetic.
Depending on the nature of the pathology, occasionally removal of a lesion is all that is necessary. Further management may also be required.
Mr. Moore works closely with Dr. Anita Nolan, Oral Medicine Specialist, for ongoing management or monitoring of some conditions. Depending on the nature of the pathology, Mr. Moore will discuss all treatment and management options with you and refer you on as necessary.
