Oral Cancer Screening in Las Vegas
Are you at risk of oral cancer?
One person dies of oral cancer every hour of every day in America. It has become the sixth leading cancer among men and is one of the few cancers in which the rate of detection is increasing among young adults. Most people are not aware of the potential risks; however, when detected early enough, the survival rate for oral cancer is very high.
At one time, oral cancer was seen predominantly among smokers. However, oral cancer is increasingly being seen in patients of all ages. Although smoking is still a leading factor, many other criteria such as age, family history, ethnicity and alcoholic consumption also play a role. Many experts have surmised that an increasing cause is exposure to the HPV virus, which is the primary precursor of cervical cancer. These various factors all point towards the need for better technology to assist in the early detection of this curable disease.
Possible Signs & Symptoms of Oral Cancer:
- White or red patches anywhere in the oral cavity
- Sores in the oral cavity, especially those that heal slowly or bleed easily
- Lumps or thickening of tissue anywhere in the throat or mouth
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or moving your jaw or tongue
- Pains, sores, or irritation anywhere in your mouth, lip or throat
Abnormal swelling, pain, sores, irritation or numbness in the oral cavity may be a symptom of oral cancer. Please request an oral cancer screening if you have had any of the above symptoms persist for an extended period.
Need to Schedule an Oral Cancer Screening?
Schedule an appointment to receive an oral cancer screening. The exam is painless, takes only a few minutes, and oral cancer is more successfully treated when detected early.
Quick & Painless Evaluation with VELscope!
We at BDG use a new and exciting technology called VELscope®, which utilizes a narrow band of safe, high-energy blue light and specialized filtering technology to help thoroughly evaluate the oral tissue for abnormal areas of concern, such as potentially cancerous lesions that may not be evident under white light.
VELscope will be offered as the standard of care for all new patients as part of their initial exam and for returning patients on an annual basis.
We believe that this new technology will assist us in detecting disease at earlier stages and therefore catch abnormalities before they turn into cancer.
You can find more information at VELscope’s Website.
Insurance Information for Oral Cancer Screenings
Your insurance may or may not cover the fee for this care. Coverage for this procedure (like most dentist procedures) usually varies among insurance companies; however, this minimal fee is well worth the benefit that this new device provides. These screenings will decrease your chances of needing to see a Las Vegas emergency dentist, so don’t delay if you feel you are at risk.

I was really impressed with my visit to Boston Dental. The staff was courteous, friendly, and very professional, from the person at the desk all the way to Dr. Justice. After a complete exam, we went over the recommended treatment plan and all my options were explained to me in detail. You could not find a better dental office.

The first person who I spoke with was Juliana. I was on my way to the dentist. I was worried that I was not going to find the location. She assured me that I would find Boston Dental. Juliana gave me some landmarks around there. She was so nice to talk to. Cashmiere was the next person I met. She assisted Dr, Justice. She so comforting. Miss Thelma was the office manager. She helped me understand what my insurance paid. She was very caring and helpful. Dr. Justice was very patient, and explained every he was doing for my procedure. Thank you all for such a Happy Experience Elaine Walsh

First time here and I had a great experience! I was brought back almost immediately, where Carlos, the dental assistant, did the flossing and polishing. Vicki, the dental hygienist, did my cleaning and gave me an informative lesson on why I should be flossing. I told her ahead of time that I had sensitive teeth on the bottom and she was very gentle in that area, unlike some other cleanings that I’ve had. Overall, I was out in about 45 min. Super quick and efficient!

I'm a new patient and have had a very positive first impression. Latisha is a wonderful receptionist who helped with pre-paperwork. Thelma is great with billing, and took the time to do steps of approval for CareCredit, a great plan that allows monthly payments for extensive dental work. Vicki is a stellar hygienist with just the right touch. Carlos and Cashmere were great, and the good Dr. Justice was caring and professional. Thanks to all of you!

I was a patient at Happy Dental and the dentist I was going to was no longer there on Friday, I was referred to Boston Dental which is not close to my house but I had a very good treatment with Dr. Glen Justice and the hygienist. I hope to keep coming to this office and that Dr. Justice will be there on Friday so I can have a great dentist again. Thank You

I set up an appointment with Boston Dental at my convenience and was welcomed with courtesy.I felt very fortunate to receive an appointment with their hygienist, Vicki Wells. She was very efficientcleaning my teeth and gave me the complete results. I was very satisfied with her work and have set up my next appointment. By the way, no cavities this time.

This place is absolutely fantastic, fun, & clean! I've always wanted to get braces put on but never could because almost every dentist in vegas requires care credit and have money upfront. This place was the only place I could find that allows me to do payment plan out of pocket!!! My monthly visits has been quick. My very first visit here for consultation I had my two young toddlers( 2 & 4) with me and I decided to go ahead and get braces put on. the staff asked if they could take my children and play with them while I was getting braces put in. Right thn and there I immediately knew this was the best place to be! Truly caring and wonderful staff. I will never go anywhere else!!

The staff is so nice and helpful here! I got my rubberbands changed to white by choice and upon seeing myself in the mirror I realized this was not a good choice. I walked back into the office and they took care of me immediately and helped change my rubberbands back to clear within minutes. Amazing work! Would recommend to everyone!

INCREDIBLE DENTIST & STAFF! I called around endlessly asking if any dentist was able to take a walk in and in net work with my insurance last minute! Hallelujah Boston Dental was able to squeeze me in! I had severe pain for two days prior. I was greeted by the front desk ladies who were all smiles, and then Mr. Potter took me in the back to begin examination. He was so fantastic! Dr. Justice came in after to look everything over, he was incredibly patient with me and broke everything down so it was easy to understand and super in depth. They were not forceful in me making decisions, which I’ve had in the past. They both had GREAT senses of humor, which is always a plus! I had to remove my two bottom wisdom teeth, and it was already at the end of their day but they stayed late to get the job done! I have struggled to find a dentist, but I THANKFULLY stumbled upon this office in an emergency and I think it’s safe to say they are my full time dentist!

I have been going to Boston Dental for over 7 years now -- and will never go anywhere else!!! The front desk staff always extends a warm welcome, whether on the phone, to remind you of your upcoming appointment or in person when you arrive. I would most especially like to recognize Leticia and Elsie as primary examples of this type of service and greeting.Stephanie is fantastic in her role as well, and always does a fabulous job in polishing, flossing and preparing my teeth for a good cleaning 🙂 Thank you Stephanie!!!Vicki is the ultimate reason why I am so committed and loyal to this establishment. She is by far --- the best Dental Hygienist I have ever had work on my teeth!!!!!7I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!! Vicki is so detail-oriented, personable, professional and honest. I dont know whether she keeps great notes about your last visit and conversations --- or if she is just blessed with an impeccable memory!!! Either way, whenever I visit (which is approximately every 6 months), she refers to our last conversation like it was just yesterday!!!!! I am amazed by this during every visit and can't stop raving about this Dentist office!!!I give this establishment 10 STARS and highly recommend that if you are not this happy about the dentist office that you currently attend, you must give Boston Dental a try!!!Vicki thank you for being so fabulous and giving me a smile I can be proud of!!!!

Growing up in Washington State, I was never afraid of the dentist. I moved to Las Vegas over 10 years ago and visited a few dentists. I felt they were wreckless and didn't care. I became afraid and so did my husband and kids. We finally went to Boston Dental, where we are getting the best treatment. By far Boston Dental makes my family comfortable. The staff is amazing and it doesn't matter what we go in for we know we will be well treated and cared for. Getting my teeth deep cleaned feels like I am at a spa. My husband who has always been afraid of the dentist was able to go in and get his root canal without having to be put out. My son has gotten his braces and my daughter has no cavities! Just simply the best and right across the street from me. I recommend Boston Dental to all my family and friends!
