Frequently Asked Questions

No, most jaw growths and cysts are benign (non-cancerous). However, proper diagnosis is essential as some can be aggressive or potentially malignant. Early evaluation ensures appropriate treatment.
Diagnosis typically involves clinical examination, radiographic imaging (X-rays, CT scans), and often a biopsy for histopathological examination to determine the exact nature of the lesion.
We use minimally invasive approaches and advanced reconstruction techniques to minimize aesthetic impact. Most procedures preserve facial appearance, with reconstruction when needed.
Recovery varies by procedure complexity. Simple cyst removal may heal in 1-2 weeks, while complex tumor resections with reconstruction may require 6-12 weeks for full recovery.
