How Does Oral Pathology Work?
Oral pathology works by identifying and diagnosing diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures through a combination of clinical examination, diagnostic tests, and tissue analysis. Initially, we will perform a thorough evaluation of your oral health, which may include visual inspections, palpations, and medical history reviews. Suspicious lesions or abnormalities are often further investigated using diagnostic tools such as biopsies, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Tissue samples from biopsies are examined microscopically to determine the nature of the condition, whether it is benign or malignant. Based on the findings, we can develop and recommend appropriate treatment plans to address the identified issues and improve the patient's oral health.

Sexton Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Reviews
From my initial consultation to the day of my procedure, everything went well. I had a wisdom tooth extracted and had little to no swelling and the pain was very minimal with 1 Tylenol taken afterwards. The staff was very thorough with explaining everything and also friendly. I especially appreciate Dr. Weiskopf calling me later to check on me, that says a lot! I'm very pleased with the service I received.
Dr. Sexton and his whole staff are the most professional in the city!! Kind, caring, and efficient in all facets of their operation!! I wouldn’t recommend anybody but Sexton OMS!! Thank you guys for taking care of me and my family!!
Dr. Sexton and team are a thoughtful and reassuring group. I am very fearful of anesthesia, they were very sensitive to that and I’m truly grateful. They make sure you know your post-op instructions and Dr. Sexton makes himself available for questions or concerns.
Great experience! Dr. Weiskopt called me personally to see how is was doing!
Our family cannot say enough good things about Dr Sexton and his entire office staff. Going to the dentist can be a very stressful and anxiety ridden experience. Dr. Sexton exudes calmness and immediately puts you at ease. He explains in detail what needs to be done and willingly answers any questions or concerns. Dr Sexton does excellent work. I have received two implants and have been extremely happy with both the overall experience and the quality work. He is the best and highly recommend.
