Oral Pathology Richland, Washington

If you suspect you may have oral cancer or some other oral disease, Implant & Periodontal Associates NW uses oral pathology in Richland, Washington, to determine your oral health through biopsies. We invite you to call our office at Implant & Periodontal Associates NW Phone Number (509) 542-9111 to schedule an appointment with our periodontist, Dr. Vikas Puri, to learn more about our treatments and care.

We are focused on providing you with complete oral health care. That includes not just your teeth but your lips, cheeks, gums, and hard and soft palates as well. While our periodontist will look for abnormalities in your mouth during your routine checkup, you should do a self-examination at least once each month to look for anything out of the ordinary. You should contact our office for an appointment with our periodontist if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Pain or difficulty when you eat or drink
• A sore throat or hoarseness that does not go away
• Any change in the color or texture of your oral tissues
• A lump in your mouth or thickening of the soft tissues of your mouth
• A sore in your mouth, or even on your face or neck, that does not heal
• A change in the alignment of your teeth or the way any oral appliance fits

Our periodontist may use a biopsy, X-rays or other technology to diagnose the issue and help you plan the next step in your treatments. Early detection is key to successful treatment and the best possible results. If you have a concern about your smile, call our office today.
