VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening

VELscope Oral Cancer Screening Dentist Lansing, MI



Healthy tissues fluoresce in distinct patterns that may be visibly disrupted when tissue undergoes an abnormal change (which can occur in the oral mucosa for a multitude of reasons,) such as when associated with dysplasia or oral cancer.

Supplementing the COE

We use our VELscope® Vx device to supplement the traditional intra and extraoral head and neck exam (also referred to as the comprehensive oral exam or "COE"), and embrace the use of this device to help visualize abnormal oral tissue, such as potential cancerous or pre-cancerous tissues that are not apparent or sometimes not even visible with the naked eye alone. Exams can be more thorough and any suspicious areas can be quickly investigated for confirmation of oral disease.

Why Early Discovery Matters?


The VELscope device is based on an imaging modality which is sensitive to tissue changes. Its use in everyday practice can provide timely information to dentists and hygienists to enable enhanced visualization of abnormal tissues, which is beneficial for patients.
