Oral Cancer Screening in North Eastham & West Harwich, MA

We Preform Thorough Oral Pathology Exams


Just like any other part of your body, your mouth is susceptible to disease and bacteria that can be potentially life threatening. At the Cape Cod Dental Group, we offer state-of-the-art oral pathology and oral cancer screenings to help identify and diagnose diseases of the mouth, jaw and related structures.

As oral pathology professionals in Chatham and Orleans, we know just what to look for and will perform examinations, including x-rays, of your mouth, head and neck.

If anything seems concerning, we can use our gentle dental laser to perform a small biopsy, which will be evaluated for cancer or dise
