Oral/Facial Pathology: Understanding and Expert Diagnosis

Oral and facial pathology encompasses the study and diagnosis of diseases, disorders, and abnormalities that affect the mouth, jaws, face, and associated structures.

At Elevated Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we specialize in oral and facial pathology, providing comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for patients in San Diego, CA.

Understanding Oral/Facial Pathology

Oral and facial pathology covers a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:

Oral Lesions: These can be benign or malignant growths, ulcers, white or red patches, or any other abnormal changes in the soft tissues of the oral cavity.
Salivary Gland Disorders: Conditions affecting the salivary glands, such as infections, tumors, or autoimmune diseases, can impact salivary production and oral health.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ): TMJ disorders involve dysfunction or pain in the jaw joint, causing difficulties with jaw movement, jaw clicking, or chronic pain.
Maxillofacial Trauma: Facial injuries resulting from accidents, sports-related incidents, or other traumatic events can cause fractures, dislocations, or soft tissue damage.
Oral Cancer: Early detection and diagnosis of oral cancer are crucial for successful treatment. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons play a critical role in identifying and managing oral cancer cases.

The Proof is in Our Patients

They helped me with my problem very quickly, the staff makes you feel as if you were at home, they explained the procedure in great detail so that I understood exactly what they were going to do to me and if in case I had questions I would ask them with confidence . I had some questions and they kindly answered them. Everything went perfect and without any problem. Thanks to Dr. MacDowell

I had an ongoing issue that "erupted" into a serious issue on a Friday afternoon. I was referred to Elevated and called around 2pm on a Friday. By 3:30 I was in the chair and out the door after surgery by 5pm. I have had no complications since. Dr. MacDowell and his entire staff were professional.

I want to say Dr. James McDowell was and is the most caring individual I have ever had the pleasure of being a patient with. His level of compassion deserves the highest level of respect and appreciation. Please consider this company as the gold standard of oral surgery options. I would trust them with my life.
