At Viva Dental, a dental biopsy is performed when a small sample of oral tissue needs closer examination. This procedure helps identify abnormalities such as persistent sores, unusual growths, or changes in gum tissue. With more than 35 years of experience, our specialists ensure biopsies are done safely, comfortably, and with precision, providing accurate diagnoses for effective treatment.
Early Detection – Identifies oral conditions at an early stage for better outcomes.
Accurate Diagnosis – Provides clear answers for unexplained oral changes.
Guides Treatment – Helps dentists create precise, personalized care plans.
Safe & Simple – Minimally invasive with little discomfort.
Peace of Mind – Gives patients clarity and reassurance about their oral health.
During a dental biopsy, our dentist will numb the area to ensure comfort before carefully removing a small tissue sample. The procedure is quick, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. The sample is sent to a lab for analysis, and results are discussed in detail with you. At Viva Dental, we prioritize your safety and keep you informed every step of the way.
After your biopsy, avoid eating or drinking until numbness wears off. Stick to soft foods for 24 hours and avoid touching the area with your tongue or fingers. Keep your mouth clean by rinsing gently with warm salt water after meals. Avoid smoking and alcohol during healing. Mild discomfort is normal and can be managed with pain relief as recommended by your dentist.
1. Is a dental biopsy painful?
No. The area is numbed before the procedure, and most patients feel only mild pressure.
2. How long does it take to heal?
Healing usually takes 3–7 days, depending on the biopsy site and your overall health.
3. When will I get my results?
Lab results are typically ready within a week, and your dentist will contact you to discuss them.
4. Will I need stitches?
Some biopsies require a few small stitches, which dissolve or are removed after several days.
5. Can I brush my teeth after the procedure?
Yes, but brush gently and avoid the biopsy site for the first day to allow initial healing.
