Orr specialize in oral and maxillofacial pathology, using advanced diagnostic tools to identify conditions such as infections, tumors, and other abnormalities that can affect your oral health.

How Does An Oral Pathology Exam Work?
During your oral pathology exam, Dr. Dorsett or Dr. Orr will carefully inspect the inside of your mouth, your jaw, and surrounding tissues. They will look for any abnormalities or possible signs of oral cancer, such as unexplained lumps, sores that don't heal, or red or white patches on the soft tissues of your mouth. If any concerns are found, they may remove a small sample for our oral pathology laboratory to analyze. Once we have more detailed results, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment to review them with you. This exam is essential for detecting oral health issues early and ensuring prompt treatment when necessary.

Oral Surgery Associates Gadsden Reviews
We just came see Dr dorsey telling us what they was going to do about pulling my son Joshua 4 teeth what medicine to take day of his procedure they where supper nice that day we went want thank DrLaffette from Jacksonville Alabama referral Joshua to yall
I recently had a complex tooth extraction due to resorption, along with a bone graft procedure under IV sedation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Oral Surgery Associates. From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease, taking the time to explain every step of the procedure with clarity and patience. Their professionalism and expertise were evident throughout, and I truly appreciated their compassionate approach. The IV sedation was smooth, and I felt comfortable and well-cared for from start to finish. The procedure itself was performed with incredible precision, and my recovery has been going remarkably well thanks to the skill and care of Oral Surgery Associates. The post-operative instructions were clear, and their team was readily available to answer any questions, which gave me great peace of mind. I am beyond grateful for their outstanding work and dedication to patient comfort. I highly recommend Oral Surgery Associates to anyone in need of oral surgery – their professionalism, kindness, and expertise made all the difference!
Great visit !!!! Everyone was nice 🙂
