We are proud providers of ViziLite Plus, an early detection screening for oral cancer.

1 person every hour is dying from oral cancer.

The death rate of oral cancer is high because it is not being detected early enough in patients. At our office, we highly recommend that every patient get a Vizilite oral cancer screening once a year.
Are you at risk?

  • Patients age 40 and older
  • 18-39 years of age combined with:
    • Tobacco use
    • Chronic alcohol consumption
    • Oral HPV infection
    • Patients with history of oral cancer

25% of oral cancers occur in people who don’t smoke and have no other risk factors.
Vizilite Plus is a painless, quick screening. It is specifically designed to help recognize abnormal lesions in the soft tissue that could potentially lead to oral cancer. First, you rinse with a cleansing solution. Next, your doctor will dim the lights and use the Vizilite Plus light to do an oral examination. The Vizilite Plus light helps to make abnormal soft tissue become more apparent. If any abnormal lesions are present, you will be referred to an oral surgeon for removal and a biopsy. Vizilite screening sounds so basic, and that’s because it is. It is amazing how many deaths from oral cancer can be prevented if this five minute procedure is done.
