GENERAL DENTISTRY
Early detection saves lives. At Empower Dental in Upland, we offer advanced oral cancer screenings as part of your routine dental care—because your health and peace of mind matter. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools help us detect early signs of oral cancer, often before symptoms become visible, giving you the best chance at successful treatment.
At Empower Dental, we don’t just protect your smile—we protect your overall health. An oral cancer screening takes only minutes, but the peace of mind it brings is priceless.
Oral cancer can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, roof of the mouth, and throat. It often develops without noticeable pain or symptoms in its early stages, which makes routine screening critical.
Key Risk Factors Include:
When caught early, oral cancer is highly treatable. At Empower Dental, we take a proactive, technology-driven approach to identify any suspicious changes as early as possible.
Oral cancer screenings are quick, painless, and performed during your regular dental checkup.
Here’s what we do:
We inspect your lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, palate, and throat for any red or white patches, sores, or abnormalities.
We gently feel for lumps or hardened areas in your neck, jaw, and oral tissues.
Our goal is to detect any warning signs early so we can either monitor, biopsy, or refer for further evaluation as needed.
Our advanced diagnostic equipment ensures you receive the most thorough screening possible:
Early detection means faster diagnosis, more treatment options, and better outcomes.
