Biopsies
In Seattle

Oral cancer is rare, but its effects can be severe if they’re not caught in time. However, it’s not the only condition that can cause abnormalities in your oral tissue. Fortunately, your oral surgeon can help you remain proactive about your oral health, and perform a biopsy of any abnormal tissue in your mouth. Biopsies can help determine the best treatment plan for you, and in some cases, save your life.

Why should I get a biopsy?

Biopsies are usually recommended if your dentist has noticed a lesion or another irregularity in your mouth during an oral cancer screening. Oral cancer is rare, but often goes undetected unless your dentist notices its early signs. Biopsies allow your doctor to check the lesion for cancer. No matter the result of your biopsy, you’ll be able to take the right steps to protect your health both now and in the future.

Biopsies: What To Expect

I have appreciated Julia’s expertise and competence as a dental hygienist for many years. I will always be thankful for her keen eye catching a tricky dental problem  early on. I also like her and Dr Sage’s focus on prevention and oral health as the first step towards heart and brain health.

Just had my first visit with and I’ve never been treated so well by a dental team! I’m actually looking forward to working with them on addressing my periodontal and teeth issues. Highly highly recommend.

Dr Carns was, as always, friendly and professional.  He gave my teeth a good cleaning.  We discussed a cosmetic issue.  He gave me his thoughts and arranged for me to get a further opinion from Dr Sage.

Great dental work. Everyone I’ve worked with has been thorough, communicative and efficient. My impression is that the office makes a point to use up to date tech and techniques, and consistently makes patient comfort their priority (extra pillows and water are nice touches during long filling sessions!). Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Sage Family Dentistry for over 5 years, ever since moving to Seattle. My kids also get their dental care here ever since they were born. Dr. Sage and all the other dentists, hygienists, and staff have all been great this entire time. I recently had a bad toothache on a Friday night, called in Saturday morning (when they're normally closed), and was in the office within 1.5 hours with Dr. Sage solving my issue - during a holiday weekend! Highly recommended.
