VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening

Your oral health is our top priority, and early detection is key to successfully managing and treating oral cancer. SAMA utilizes the VELscope system, an advanced technology designed to enhance the early detection of oral abnormalities, including precancerous lesions and oral cancer.

What is VELscope?

VELscope is a non-invasive oral cancer screening tool that uses a special blue light to illuminate the tissues in your mouth. This light enhances the contrast between healthy and abnormal tissue, allowing our dental professionals to identify any areas of concern that may not be visible during a standard oral examination.

Why Choose VELscope Screening?

  • Early Detection: The VELscope system helps us identify potential issues in their earliest stages, when they are most treatable. Early detection significantly improves outcomes and increases the likelihood of successful treatment. Currently 60% of all oral cancer cases are diagnosed in stages III and IV. 
  • Non-Invasive and Comfortable: The screening process is quick, easy, and painless, with no need for biopsies or invasive procedures during the initial assessment.
  • ‍Comprehensive Care: VELscope is an integral part of our commitment to proactive oral health care. By incorporating this advanced technology into our routine screenings, we can provide you with a more thorough examination and peace of mind.

The Screening Process

  • Initial Consultation: During your routine dental visit, we will discuss the importance of oral cancer screening and determine if VELscope is right for you.
  • VELscope Examination: Using the VELscope device, we will shine the blue light into your mouth, examining the tissues for any abnormal areas.
  • Follow-Up: If any areas of concern are identified, we will discuss the next steps, which may include further evaluation or referral to a specialist for additional testing.
