Oral Cancer Screening

Oral Cancer Screening is key.
Early detection with ViziLite Plus makes it simple.

Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it's caught early.

Our dentist at Urban Dental performs an annual ViziLite Plus exam, in combination with a conventional visual examination. ViziLite Plus uses technology that has been proven successful in identifying precancerous and cancerous abnormalities.

ViziLite Plus helps dentist identify oral lesions at their earliest stage of developments. When premalignant lesions or early stage oral cancer is found, treatment is simple, less invasive and more than 90% successful.
