VELscope Oral Cancer Screening: Early Detection Saves Lives

In addition to traditional oral cancer screenings, we use the VELscope system, a cutting-edge technology that enables us to detect oral cancer and precancerous lesions that may not be visible to the naked eye. This non-invasive procedure uses fluorescent light technology to highlight abnormal tissue changes that could indicate the presence of cancer. The earlier oral cancer is detected, the higher the chances of successful treatment.
