Dr.Ellis recently appeared on television as part of a Fox Network piece about the revolutionary new technology for early detection of oral cancer called VELscope. This state-of-the-art science is now part of the extensive list of services offered by our office.



VELscope is a revolutionary hand-held device that provides dentists and hygienists with an easy-to-use examination system for the early detection of abnormal tissue. The VELscope Handpiece emits a safe blue light into the oral cavity, which excites the tissue causing it to fluoresce. The dentist is then able to immediately view the different fluorescence responses to help differentiate between normal and abnormal tissue. In fact, VELscope is the only non-invasive device clinically proven to help discover oral disease.
