Individual Diagnosis
Our London clinic treats advanced jaw tumours, however as with most medical conditions, the sooner an issue is found the better.
Oral biopsies can be swiftly carried out. An in house radiology facility means that if required, a CT scan can be done on the same visit as your consultation, which will significantly reduce your wait time for treatment.
Early symptoms of tumours could include red, or white patches inside your mouth, or a sore that doesn’t heal. More subtle signs may be thickening of tissue, problems with swallowing, or a sore throat which won’t go away.
Whether your symptoms are initial, or advanced, when you visit our Harley Street clinic, a maxillofacial consultant will discuss them in detail. Knowing exactly how you are affected and how you feel is important.
Your consultant will also discuss wider medical history and carry out an examination. Any tissue tests, or scans required to support their insight will take place on the day, or be promptly arranged.
Experience and knowledge are at the root of good diagnosis. The latest technology also helps, part of ensuring an accurate, personal treatment plan where needed.
Treating Jaw Growths
Treatment will be individual, according to your medical need and diagnosis of the type of cyst, or tumour. Discussion will have taken place on the nature of your condition, the best treatment options and outcomes.
There are cases where medication can assist, although for the majority of conditions, surgery will be the best, long term option.
A minimally invasive approach is always taken and in many cases, carried out in our day surgery. Where a hospital stay is required, we have arrangements in place with leading London private hospitals.
Should removal of a tumour require additional support, from dental implants, to reconstructive surgery, this is carried out in house.
Where curing a cancerous tumour needs radiotherapy, or chemotherapy, often alongside surgery, this will be arranged. As will support from medical professionals in any specialist field, who can help to offer the right solution.
Our wish is to ensure you receive good care. This is promptly put in place, allowing your time to be focused on your wellbeing.
