Pathology & Biopsy

Quality Oral Surgery for the Goodyear Community

Oral pathology involves the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting the mouth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. While many oral lesions are benign, early detection of abnormal tissue changes is essential for protecting overall health.

Signs That Require Evaluation

  • Sores that do not heal within two weeks
  • White or red patches inside the mouth
  • Lumps, swelling, or unusual growths
  • Persistent pain without clear cause
  • Changes in tissue texture or color

Our team performs comprehensive examinations and diagnostic imaging to identify suspicious areas.

Oral Biopsy Procedure

If further evaluation is needed, we perform a biopsy — a minor surgical procedure that removes a small tissue sample for laboratory analysis. Biopsies may be:

    • Incisional (removing a portion)

    • Excisional (removing the entire lesion)

Local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure. Once laboratory results are received, we review findings and discuss appropriate next steps.

Early diagnosis is critical in detecting precancerous conditions or oral cancer. Timely intervention significantly improves treatment outcomes and overall prognosis.

Our practice is committed to thorough evaluation, clear communication, and compassionate care throughout the diagnostic process.

Impressed is an understatement! I’m more than 24 hours post-op and have not felt one bit of pain! I was worried about this procedure, but the entire safe have been very nice, helpful, and thorough. Dr. Eric Saniz even called me last night at 7pm on his personal cell to check on me. So far so good! I would highly recommend this practice for oral work!

I highly recommend Dr. Saiz and the entire team at Agave Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center to anyone looking for an oral surgeon who combines exceptional professionalism with genuine compassion. The office itself is spotless, modern, and impeccably maintained — which immediately creates a comfortable and reassuring environment. What truly sets Agave Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center apart is their patient-first approach — Dr. Saiz and his team are incredibly kind and understanding, which is a huge relief for patients who experience dental anxiety like I do. Rather than rushing through the appointment, they take the time to listen, answer questions, and ensure you feel completely at ease every step of the way. Dr. Saiz has been a true Godsend. His patience, dedication, and top-tier care have made all the difference, and I am incredibly grateful for my experience here.
