How Does A Screening Test for Oral Cancer Work?
During your screening, our dental team will carefully check for any red or white patches, sores, or unusual growths in your mouth, gums, tongue, and throat. We'll also examine your neck to ensure everything is healthy. These screenings are typically performed at Coyne Oral Surgery during your regular oral exams, making it easy and convenient to keep up with your oral health.
Oral cancer symptoms can manifest in a number of ways. You might notice persistent sores that don't heal, lumps or thickened areas in the mouth, or red and white patches. Difficulty swallowing, unexplained pain, or bleeding in the mouth can also be signs. If any of these symptoms occur, it's important to get checked right away. If we do find concerning signs, we'll then discuss your oral cancer treatment options, which could involve surgery, radiation, or other therapies, depending on the severity. Dr. Coyne and our team are here to guide you through every step.

Coyne Oral Surgery Reviews
Doctor Coyne, Marlena, and Melissa were great. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and they were super professional, got me in right away and took all the stress out of having them removed. I would recommend them anyday
They were very nice! Marlena made me feel very comfortable. And whoever usually answers the phone/checked me in was also very nice and helpful, think her name was Melissa maybe. Dr. Coyne was awesome and made the wisdom tooth extraction process quick and easy. wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I don't have insurance and it was less expensive than I anticipated. The healing process has also been much less intense than I anticipated. All in all it was very quick, easy, and affordable and the staff is super caring and friendly. I will definitely go back.
Very nice people and they love talking to you and making you comfortable! Would definitely recommend.
This is my third visit to Coyne Oral Surgery, and I can confidently say that I'm just as impressed now as I was years ago. Most recently, I brought my daughter in for her wisdom teeth removal, and I would recommend them without hesitation. Marlena and Melissa are incredibly compassionate and helpful, and Dr. Coyne is exceptional. She took the time to come out and explain the entire process beforehand, and even walked my daughter to the car afterward, going above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease.When I needed additional guidance after bringing my daughter home, their team responded quickly and provided everything she needed. I wholeheartedly recommend their office; you will feel like family, and they consistently deliver outstanding care. Thank you, Coyne team! We will see you again when it’s her brother’s turn!
Incredibly compassionate doctor and staff. I cannot recommend this office enough. Fair pricing and highly skilled. The best!
