At Magnolia Dental Guelph, your health and peace of mind are always our top priorities. That’s why we use the Velscope Oral Cancer Screening System — a leading technology that helps detect changes in oral tissues early, when treatment is most effective.
VELscope is a non-invasive, light-based tool that allows our dental team to detect abnormalities in the mouth that may not be visible during a standard exam. Using fluorescence visualization technology, it helps identify early signs of oral cancer, infections, or other tissue changes on the cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat.
During the exam, a blue LED light shines into the mouth. Through a special optical filter, your dentist can view any irregular tissue patterns that could indicate early disease — all in just a few minutes and completely pain-free.
Early detection plays a crucial role in successful treatment and long-term outcomes. With tools like VELscope, we can:

Your screening begins with a visual exam of your mouth, followed by the VELscope light assessment. Images are captured and stored in your dental record for future comparison. If any areas of concern are found, your dentist will discuss next steps — which may include monitoring, further evaluation, or referral to a specialist.
The entire process is fast, painless, and highly informative, helping you stay proactive about your oral health.
Our team combines advanced technology with compassionate care to make every visit comfortable and reassuring. We’re trained in using the VELscope system to identify even subtle tissue changes, ensuring you receive a thorough and accurate assessment.
At Magnolia Dental Guelph, we believe prevention and early detection are key to lifelong oral wellness — and VELscope helps us deliver exactly that.
