Your Path to Wellness

Bridging Medicine and Dentistry for the Care you Deserve

What is Oral Medicine?

At Northwest Center for Oral Medicine, we specialize in Oral Medicine, a unique field bridging the gap between dentistry and general medicine.  Unlike many dental specialties, our approach is primarily non-surgical.  While we do perform diagnostic biopsies, small excisions, therapeutic injections, and other minor surgical interventions, many conditions we treat are managed medically using both topical and systemic medications.  Additionally, we’re the go-to experts for patients with complex systemic medical issues that manifest in the mouth.  When your oral health concerns extend beyond the teeth, we’re here to provide expert, comprehensive care.
