Oral Cancer
Screening

Oral cancers are becoming increasingly common. It is important to receive an oral cancer screening at all of your dental hygiene or dental visits.

Services Included in Oral Cancer Screening

Screening Exam

Using Velscope technology, our technicians will scan your mouth, checking the cheeks, roof, floor, and more for visible abnormalities.

The incidence of oral cancer is still increasing in North America. Unlike other cancers, the survival rate for oral cancer has remained unchanged for decades. The overall 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is 52%, but when discovered early, it increases dramatically.

VELscope offers a painless, non-invasive way to screen for abnormal tissue in the mouth. Without the need for stains or rinses, the examination takes just one or two minutes.

REFERRALS

If any abnormalities are detected during your oral cancer screening, we will make the appropriate referrals. We have a base for highly recommended dentists when additional treatment may be needed. If an issue is detected, further steps are only taken with your participation and at your request.

VELscope Exam

The VELscope Exam relies on an oral tissue screening tool that is commonly used in oral pathology labs as well as hospitals. The VELscope System Handpiece emits a safe blue light into the oral cavity, which excites the tissue, causing it to fluoresce. Our clinician is then able to immediately view the different fluorescence responses to help differentiate between normal and abnormal tissue.

I have been seeing Emma for a couple years for cleanings and whitening treatments. She is hands-down the best hygienist I have ever seen! She’s also incredibly sweet and truly does care about her clients. It definitely feels more like a spa experience.

My appointment was so quick and easy and Emma explained each step to me clearly. I went up three shades (one more to go for perfection!) and have had no sensitivity during or after. Also, being able to relax and watch a show during the process was a treat :)

- Penny Dale

Emma is welcoming and very professional. Her space is so cute! She did a great job with a thorough cleaning and then explained everything she was doing during the whitening. I'm so happy with my results! I've already recommended her to 2 friends! Thanks again :)
