Why should I see an oral medicine specialist?

Many oral conditions fall outside the expertise of general dental practitioners. Rather than waiting for lengthy hospital referrals, our specialist can provide expert diagnosis and treatment quickly, giving you relief and reassurance without extended waiting periods.

What conditions can be treated?

We treat a wide range of conditions including mouth ulcers, white or red patches in the mouth, lumps and bumps, facial pain, jaw disorders, and abnormalities of the mouth lining. If you're concerned about any changes in your mouth, we can help.

Will I need a biopsy?

Not all conditions require a biopsy. However, if our specialist recommends one, it can be performed here at the practice. A biopsy involves taking a small tissue sample for laboratory analysis to help with diagnosis.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is necessary. You can book a consultation directly with our practice. If you have concerns about any oral condition, simply contact us to arrange an appointment.
