Oral pathology is a dental speciality that deals with identifying and managing problems or diseases affecting oral health.
If you’re experiencing any abnormalities or changes in your oral health, we can provide biopsies or professional exams to help find out what’s going on. We usually provide the information and results to your referring dentist or professional so they can create a treatment plan for your future care.
When you book your first appointment, we’ll determine whether or not you need a pre-procedure consultation or if we have enough information from your referring dentist to perform the procedure right away. Either way, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable with the next step and discuss options such as IV sedation before you arrive at your procedure.
Currently, the whole of Canterbury’s dental industry is experiencing high demand so there can be a wait time of up to two months for a consultation, then possibly another two months before the surgery happens. That’s why we recommend getting in touch as soon as possible to get the process started.
Not necessarily. We accept private bookings as well as referrals. Also, if you have been referred elsewhere by your dentist, you can choose to book in with us instead.
We wish we could answer this for you right now, but every person’s needs are different and we would need to assess the work properly at a consultation. However, what we can assure you of, is that our hourly rate for these professional services is amongst the most affordable in Christchurch and Canterbury.
