Velscope Oral Cancer Detection

Velscope is an instrument enabling dentists to examine the mucosal areas of the mouth and proactively screen for signs of oral cancer. The patented Velscope technology was developed in a collaborative effort between British Columbia Cancer Agency (Canada) and MD Anderson Cancer Center in the United States. This instrument is based on principles of tissue fluorescence and visual detection of anomalies. In fact, abnormal cells will appear darker under Velscope’s fluorescent light.

A Velscope examination is quick, safe and painless. And we will use this instrument during your dental examination – at no additional cost – to ensure the overall health of your mouth.
