If you answered D - all of the above - you would be correct! All of these are signs that you should get your wisdom teeth out, and we generally recommend wisdom teeth surgery between the ages of 16-25 for faster healing.

An oral pathology exam at Oral & Facial Surgery Centers of Washington is a critical step in early detection and management of oral diseases, including oral cancers.

If we find any suspicious lesion or abnormality during your exam, a biopsy may be recommended. During a biopsy, we take a small sample and send it to a pathology laboratory, where it undergoes thorough microscopic examination. Pathologists analyze the cells and tissues to determine whether the lesion is benign, malignant, or indicative of a specific condition.

Regular dental check-ups and prompt evaluation of any unusual symptoms or lesions are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. Set up your appointment today: Puyallup: (253) 445-0022 | Tacoma: (253) 383-1471.

Dental friends! It’s that time of year again for our annual CE! Make sure to join us this year, it’s going to be a good one!

What makes our team at Oral & Facial Surgery Centers of Washington oral surgery experts? After completing dental school, oral and maxillofacial surgeons undergo a rigorous four to six additional years of surgical training in a hospital-based residency program. This makes an oral surgeon the true surgical specialist of the dental field. While some dentists can perform minor oral surgeries, they are not oral surgeons. Only oral and maxillofacial surgeons are able to perform advanced surgeries that can encompass the entire maxillofacial region.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Oral & Facial Surgery Centers of Washington wishes you all a happy Cinco de Mayo!

During an oral pathology exam, Drs. Chacon and Swanson will conduct a comprehensive clinical examination of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, palate, floor of the mouth, and other soft tissues. In some cases, we may need to take X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans to obtain detailed images of the oral and facial structures. This aids in identifying any abnormalities below the surface. If you have any questions about oral pathology exams at Oral & Facial Surgery Centers of Washington, give us a call at Puyallup: (253) 445-0022 | Tacoma: (253) 383-1471 or visit our website: https://www.wacenters.com/new-patients-puyallup/.

Let’s talk about osseointegration, one of the most important processes involved in dental implant surgery treatment. After the initial dental implant is placed, the jawbone heals around the implant, securing it firmly in place. This happens over several weeks to months and is called osseointegration. This process is crucial for the stability and success of the dental implant. Choosing a qualified and experienced oral surgeon to perform your implant placement increases the likelihood of precise placement and successful osseointegration! Contact us to schedule your consultation with Drs. Chacon and Swanson.
