Anyone who has noticed or been diagnosed with a cyst or tumor in the oral cavity will benefit from removal. There are three types of growths that can occur within your mouth and jaw:

• Growths and cysts
• Benign tumors
• Malignant (cancerous) tumors

If left untreated, cysts and tumors may cause irritation or infection which can spread to the surrounding mouth tissues. Though uncommon, tumors may also be a sign of oral cancer. In this case, early detection and intervention is essential.

Prior to treatment, your surgeon will perform a biopsy by removing a small amount of tissue from the cyst or tumor. This will be sent to a pathology laboratory for analysis. Treatment will depend on the size and type of cyst or tumor.

The most common treatment for cysts and tumors is excision (surgical removal). This is generally an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. More aggressive cysts or tumors, or those that are difficult to access, will require more extensive surgery.

The cost of a Cyst or Tumor Removal will depend on several factors. The price can be affected by body type, type of technique performed, surgical complications, and even allergies. Find out more by scheduling a consultation.
