velscope,dental technology for oral cancer screening

VELscope

One of the most powerful tools we use to protect your oral health is the VELscope. This advanced device is a game-changer in early detection, specifically designed to identify abnormalities in the oral tissues that may indicate precancerous or cancerous changes. During routine dental check-ups, the VELscope allows us to spot issues that might not be visible to the naked eye, offering a higher level of preventive care.

Early detection of oral cancer is vital for successful treatment. By incorporating VELscope into your regular exams, we provide an added layer of security for your oral health. This non-invasive screening tool is a quick and painless way to identify any concerns early, giving you peace of mind and a proactive approach to long-term health.
