St. Helena Dental Studio advises patients to go for advanced dental exams and confirm if they have cancer symptoms. Oral cancer is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition affecting thousands of people yearly. It can occur in any part of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, and gums. Unfortunately, many cases of oral cancer are not diagnosed until they have reached an advanced stage, making it more challenging to treat and reducing the chances of a successful outcome. Visiting our dental office can offer you the opportunity to get screened at an early stage. Contact us to confirm your appointment for oral cancer screening.

Why Do We Recommend Early Screening of Oral Cancer?

Regular and early screenings are so important to maintain optimal dental health. By detecting any signs of oral cancer early on, we can provide prompt and effective treatment to help improve your chances of full recovery. Our screening service is designed to identify any potential warning signs of mouth cancer and help you take the necessary steps to protect your health. We use the latest technology and techniques to provide a thorough screening. Our team will examine different parts of your mouth for any abnormalities or signs of cancer and work closely with you to develop a personalized plan for monitoring and prevention.

How Does Our Team Proceed with Oral Cancer Screening?

The procedure used by our dentists for screening mouth cancer involves different examinations. Here are some of the steps involved in the screening process:

Medical History Review: Our dentist will begin by reviewing your medical history and discussing any risk factors for oral cancer, such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, or previous exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Visual Examination: We will visually inspect your oral condition, including the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, and mouth’s roof and floor, for any abnormalities or signs of cancer.

Physical Examination: Our team will use their hands to feel for any lumps, bumps, or other irregularities in your mouth, throat, and neck.

Specialized Screening Tools: Some dentists may also use specialized screening tools, such as a light or dye, to help detect any suspicious areas that may be missed during a visual examination.

Customized for your teeth

We customize the Invisalign® aligners to fit the patient's teeth and then use programming technology to digitally map out the projected rate of movement for the patient. We will then build the rest of the clear aligners in the series. Each new set of aligners will be a bit closer to the correct position for straight teeth.

With a customized straightening treatment, patients do not need to worry about the aligners falling out or being loose. Since there is no one-size-fits-all treatment, we make sure that the trays are the right fit for each patient.

Discreet, efficient and easy to use

Invisalign® aligner trays are nearly invisible to the point that few people will notice them unless the individual mentions wearing them. Patients will not have to feel embarrassed by wearing traditional metal braces or a mess of wires in their mouth on a regular basis. Invisalign® allows for the patient to receive the straight smile they desire without the maintenance of going through braces treatment.

Patients will be able to feel confident in their smile during the straightening process. If you are interested in Invisalign® treatment, give us a call today and schedule an appointment. We will help you obtain the straight smile you have always wanted.
