Oral Cancer Screening

A Proactive Approach to Oral Cancer Screening with VELscope Technology

Each year, over 50,000 individuals in North America are diagnosed with oral cancer. Ranking as the sixth most common cancer worldwide, oral cancer often goes undetected until its advanced stages, resulting in poor patient outcomes. Early detection, however, can significantly improve survival rates, with an 83% success rate when diagnosed in the initial stages. Regular oral health screenings are essential for early detection.

Advanced Oral Cancer Screening with VELscope

Our practice is dedicated to leading this proactive approach by offering VELscope Oral Cancer Screenings during regular hygiene appointments. The screening process is quick, taking about 3 minutes, and is both non-invasive and non-contact. Utilizing light-based technology, VELscope enhances tissue fluorescence to detect oral abnormalities, including cancer and precancerous lesions, that are not visible to the naked eye.

This state-of-the-art screening tool allows us to identify potential issues early, providing our patients with the best chance for effective treatment and positive outcomes.
