What is the VELscope?
- The VELscope is a device used for enhanced visualization of oral mucosal abnormalities
- Used as an adjunct to the traditional white light examination
- Aids in the visualization of pre-cancerous lesions, oral cancer, bacterial/ fungal infections, and trauma
How Does the VELscope Work?
The VELscope emits a harmless, bright blue light which is used to inspect the mouth and tongue. The device is sensitive to abnormal tissue changes and the distinctive blue light causes the soft tissue of the mouth to naturally fluoresce. Healthy tissues fluoresce in distinct patterns that may be visibly disrupted when tissue undergoes an abnormal change, such as when associated with oral cancer.
Fluorescence visualization can help draw the attention of the clinician to abnormalities that might otherwise not be apparent or visible to the naked eye.
Hover over the below image to see the example under white light and then through the VELscope. The darker area in the VELscope image was referred for biopsy and eventually diagnosed as oral cancer.
“In the few years that I’ve owned a VELscope, I’ve had two cases that have validated the money that I spent on the device. After biopsy, one was determined to be a lymphoma and the other a Squamous Cell Carcinoma. If you can identify even one lesion early and save someone’s life, it is worth every penny.”

“Every dental office needs this instrument.”

“Adding the VELscope to our diagnostic protocol has been extremely useful and resulted in detection of dangerous lesions that would have otherwise been undetected.”
