YOUR DENTISTS IN
PLATEAU MONT-ROYAL
The distinguishing feature of our clinic is its pioneering use of technology. In addition to paperless management of dental records, numerous technologies allow us to provide dental care comfortably, quickly, and with great precision.
Oral Cancer Detection
Each year, more than 700 Quebecers are diagnosed with oral cancer, and about 300 die from it.
The earlier oral cancer is discovered, the better the chance of survival. If oral cancer is detected early, five years after a diagnosis, 80% of individuals survive. If detected at an advanced stage, only 20% survive.
VELscope examination for oral cancer
VELscope is an instrument enabling dentists to examine the mucosal areas of the mouth and proactively screen for signs of oral cancer.
A VELscope examination is quick, safe and painless. We will use this instrument during your dental examination at no additional cost to help assess the overall health of your mouth.
VELscope technology
The patented VELscope technology was developed in a collaborative effort between British Columbia Cancer Agency (Canada) and MD Anderson Cancer Center in the United States. This instrument is based on principles of tissue fluorescence and visual detection of anomalies. In fact, abnormal cells will appear darker under Velscope’s fluorescence.
The Faculty of Dentistry at Université de Montréal created a documentary about oral cancer. It follows the story of a cancer survivor from early detection through treatment and remission.
