VELscope

At our Silver Spring dental office, one of our best tools for protecting your oral health is the VELscope. This device helps us find early changes in the mouth that may not be visible to the eye. During your regular visit, we use the VELscope to spot any unusual tissue that could point to precancerous or cancerous changes.

Why it matters:

  • Detects oral cancer early
  • Quick, painless, and non-invasive
  • Adds peace of mind to every check-up

Early detection gives you the best chance for successful treatment and long-term oral health.
