Did you know that oral diseases can be silently developing without you even realizing it? Oral pathology refers to changes in the mouth, such as unusual spots, lumps, or sores, that often go unnoticed until they become more severe.

That’s why oral pathology checks at Arlington Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery are so important. Our team is trained to detect these hidden issues early, providing you with peace of mind and the best chance of simple, effective treatment.

The fullness of your cheeks is often what gives your face its youthful shape. As we age, collagen and fat beneath the skin begin to diminish, often resulting in hollowed cheeks and a loss of facial structure. Facial fillers are designed to restore this lost volume, enhance contour, and create a balanced, youthful appearance. By strategically placing filler in the cheeks and surrounding areas, Dr. Patel can lift and support the midface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and sagging.

Oral pathology is the specialty focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. With years of advanced training, our team can help identify and manage conditions like:
🔹 Cold sores (HSV-1) – a common, contagious viral infection
🔹 Oral thrush – a fungal overgrowth causing white patches and discomfort
🔹 Black hairy tongue – harmless but strange-looking papillae overgrowth
🔹 Oral cancer – a serious condition often linked to HPV, smoking, or alcohol

If you notice unusual changes in your mouth, don’t ignore them. Early detection is key to keeping your smile healthy: Arlington, VA: 703-566-1908, Washington, DC: 202-733-1856

Fillers can do a lot more than plump lips. At Arlington Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Patel can use fillers to smooth under-eye hollows, lift the cheeks, contour the jawline, soften smile lines, and even refine the chin or nose. Fillers enhance your features, restore balance, and refresh your look while keeping results soft and natural. Learn more or schedule your consultation: arlingtonoms.com
