This state-of-the-art equipment allows Dr. Dolman to evaluate his patients in a comprehensive, in-depth manner. Dr. Dolman will engage your Internist, GP or supporting specialists as required in order to optimize the desired outcome.
Routine Examinations and Cancer Screening
In the absence of complaints, patients can also be seen in the office for a routine examination and cancer screening.
At Dolman Oral Surgery, Dr. Dolman will utilize Velescope Illuminator to help identify suspicious lesions along with OraRisk® HPV – Salivary DNA Test that determines who is at increased risk for HPV-related oral cancers. As required, Dr. Dolman is able to determine the need for biopsy, and if indicated, Dr. Dolman has the expertise to provide this service, on site, in a fully comfortable and painless fashion.
