At Best Choice Dental, our dentist and team use advanced VELscope® technology to assist patients with early detection of oral abnormalities. This cutting-edge tool enhances our ability to protect your oral and overall health.
What Is VELscope Technology?
VELscope is a noninvasive diagnostic device that uses fluorescence technology to identify abnormalities in the soft tissues of the mouth. By shining a safe blue light into the oral cavity, VELscope highlights changes that may not be visible to the naked eye. This technology is especially useful for detecting early signs of oral cancer, pre-cancerous tissues, and other conditions.
Benefits of VELscope Technology
- Early Detection: Identifies abnormalities at an early stage when treatment is most effective.
- Noninvasive: Painless and quick, with no need for biopsies or additional discomfort during screening.
- Comprehensive Oral Exam: Assists in detecting issues that might go unnoticed in a standard visual exam.
- Enhanced Patient Confidence: Provides peace of mind with thorough and advanced screening methods.
- Support for Treatment Planning: Helps guide decisions on further diagnostics or treatments.
How VELscope Works
During your visit, Dr. Sung Gyu Choi will use the VELscope device as part of your routine oral exam. The device emits a harmless blue light into the mouth, causing normal tissues to fluoresce while highlighting any abnormal areas as dark spots or irregular patterns. If any irregularities are detected, we will discuss appropriate next steps, which may include further examination or referral for specialized care.
VELscope technology is a powerful tool for proactive oral health care, helping to catch issues early and improve outcomes.
