- CBCT / 3D Imaging — Cone-beam imaging for high-resolution 3D views of teeth, bone, and sinuses.
- Oral Mucosal Lesion Diagnosis & Biopsy — Assessment and minor biopsy for suspicious lesions.
- Salivary Gland Evaluation — Diagnosis & management of sialadenitis, salivary stones.

Why Oral Medicine Matters
Oral conditions often reflect underlying systemic health issues. Early detection through oral medicine helps identify abnormalities before they progress into serious complications. Our approach combines advanced imaging, clinical expertise, and evidence-based diagnosis to ensure every concern is addressed accurately and safely.
We focus not only on identifying the problem but also on understanding why it occurs—allowing for precise treatment planning and long-term oral health management.
Conditions We Commonly Diagnose
- Recurrent mouth ulcers and non-healing oral sores
- White or red patches (leukoplakia / erythroplakia)
- Burning mouth syndrome
- Oral fungal and viral infections
- Oral potentially malignant disorders
- Salivary gland disorders and dry mouth (xerostomia)
A typical consultation takes about 30–45 minutes, depending on the condition and whether imaging or additional tests are required.
You should consult a specialist if you have mouth ulcers lasting more than two weeks, unexplained pain, white/red patches, jaw discomfort, or recurrent oral infections.
Yes. Dental imaging like CBCT and OPG uses low radiation doses and is recommended only when clinically necessary, following strict safety protocols.
Not always. Some conditions require monitoring, medication, or lifestyle guidance, while others may need further procedures. Your dentist will explain all options clearly before proceeding.
