VELscope Vx Oral Cancer Detection in Pittsburgh, PA

Oral Cancer Screenings in Pittsburgh, PA - South Vue DentistryLike all cancers, oral cancer is insidious. It can grow and spread while producing few apparent symptoms, and it can be deadly. Fortunately, there are diagnostic methods available to detect oral cancer. One of the most useful is the VELscope Vx enhanced oral assessment system.

This system aids Dr. Howard in screening you for oral cancer. The system uses fluorescence to highlight any areas of concern in your mouth. The process is non-invasive and completely painless.

Remember, oral cancer can strike anyone. Even if you have never used tobacco, it is possible to develop oral cancer. Protect yourself with regular professional examinations at South Vue Dentistry. You can reach us at (412) 835-2288 for appointments.

What Our Patients Say

“I had been going to the same dentist for years, until he retired. It was a daunting task to try and find a new dentist, but thankfully I was pointed in the direction of Dr. Howard! Dr. Howard, and the entire South Vue staff, go above and beyond in terms of customer service and quality care, and clearly have created a patient-focused practice! While going to the dentist isn’t usually a walk in the park, this office is probably as close as you can get ;) I’m always amazed at the comfort and ease I experience during each appointment, and Dr. Howard always takes the time to sit and chat with me to make sure everything has been going well and to see if I have any questions. It’s really a top notch office and I can’t recommend it enough!” - Michelle
