VELscope
Painless Oral Cancer Detection
At each visit, we evaluate many aspects of your overall health including a visual exam of all areas of your mouth. We examine all areas of your mouth to look for signs of oral cancer. Oral cancer affects tobaccos users significantly more than non-user. However, oral cancer can affect anyone.
Detect Cancer Signs Early
Cellular changes below the surface aren't always detectable until they've advanced to a critical stage. That's why we rely on the VELscope® to help us examine the oral tissue of all our patients. VELscope® is a non-invasive and quick way to check for signs of cancer.
VELscope® is a wireless, handheld device that produces a natural tissue fluorescence that significantly enhances our visual exam. It is recognized by the World Health Organization and this award-winning technology has conducted more than 25 million exams. VELscope® gives us vital information to detect early signs of any cancerous or pre-cancerous changes.
If we suspect any unusual changes in your mouth tissue, we may suggest a biopsy and microscopic analysis by a qualified lab.
