Oral cancer screening is a crucial part of our preventive care at Oxford Family Dental in Port Coquitlam. By detecting early signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions, we can significantly improve outcomes and ensure timely treatment. Our team is committed to using the latest technology to keep your oral health in check and give you peace of mind during every visit.

The Intraoral Camera is an advanced tool we use to benefit both our dentists and patients. About the size of a pen, it takes detailed pictures of the inside of your mouth, fitted with a sterilized disposable cover for hygiene. With VELscope technology, our team can zoom in up to forty times on a full-color display, providing clear views of any areas of concern and making it easier to diagnose hard-to-spot tooth or gum issues.

The VELscope device is part of routine checkups and takes only two minutes, using a harmless blue-spectrum light to highlight any oral health concerns. This allows us to detect early signs of decay or disease, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes. The camera also enhances patient education, displaying images on a screen to show areas needing attention, and simplifying documentation for future reference.
