Oral cancer screenings at Smile on Westbury are thorough fast and designed to catch signs early when treatment is most effective. Our approach combines careful visual and tactile exams with advanced screening technology so you leave with clarity not worry. Protecting your oral health starts with knowing what to look for.

We follow a clear repeatable exam protocol that inspects every zone at risk lips, tongue, floor of mouth, cheeks, palate, and throat. Nothing is skipped and every abnormality is documented so nothing is missed.
Alongside a clinical exam we use adjunctive screening tools when indicated. These noninvasive aids highlight suspicious tissue and help us decide if further testing or a referral is needed.
We explain what we are looking for in plain language, show you any findings, and outline next steps with calm practical guidance so you know exactly what to expect and why.
At Smile on Westbury, our team is dedicated to providing
exceptional dental care in a warm and welcoming environment.
Oral Cancer Screening

You want regular proactive screenings as part of routine care
You have risk factors or a history of sun damage to the lips
You notice an unexplained sore, lump, persistent hoarseness, or a mouth ulcer that will not heal
You value clear answers and a straightforward plan when something needs attention
We begin by reviewing your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any symptoms you may have noticed to understand risk and context.
Our clinician inspects and feels the soft tissues of the mouth and neck checking for color changes, lumps, texture differences, and any signs that warrant further evaluation.
If needed, we use noninvasive screening aids to highlight abnormal tissue and increase diagnostic confidence. These tools complement the clinical exam but do not replace biopsy when it is required.
If a suspicious area is found we provide immediate guidance: watchful monitoring, an expedited biopsy referral, or collaboration with specialists. We explain timelines what to expect and how we will support you through each step.
A brighter smile comes with a few questions. Here are the ones we
hear most often; answered simply, with clarity and care.
The in-office whitening treatment typically takes about 60–90 minutes, start to finish. You’ll see visible results before you walk out.
We believe exceptional care should come with transparent pricing and flexible access. That’s why we work with
most major insurance plans, and make it simple for everyone to get the care they need, without the stress.




Our patients love and trust us for gentle care, lasting results,
and a team that makes every visit stress-free and welcoming.
We know it can be difficult to know what is covered by your
dental insurance plan. We can help you.
