Oral Cancer Screenings
Protect your health with regular oral cancer screenings
Research has shown that several factors contribute to an individual’s risk of developing oral cancer, including smoking, genetic predisposition, gender, ethnicity, and alcohol consumption. Current statistics indicate that 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer every year, and almost 10,000 cases are fatal.
To ensure early detection and timely treatment, we automatically schedule oral cancer screenings for every new patient and annually for established patients at their cleaning appointments or exams. This means that at each six-month cleaning, patients receive either X-rays or an oral cancer screening, helping to safeguard their oral health.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, contact our office immediately, as they may potentially be indicators of oral cancer:
- Chronic cough, hoarseness, or sore throat
- Difficulty swallowing
- Sores that bleed or do not heal
- Red/white patches
- Recently developed lumps/masses on the neck

Dr. Platt has been helping my husband with TMJ-related discomfort. He and the entire staff were incredibly helpful and friendly! Thanks to all of them for their compassion and eagerness to help!
This place is awesome. The staff is wonderful. They are so kind, polite, and very helpful. You are treated with respect. I would recommend this place 100 percent.
I came to this practice in a state of pure panic and chaos. From my first interaction over the phone, I immediately felt that I could trust their entire staff. The Platts are both very knowledgeable and skilled, and I am eternally grateful to them. They helped me overcome my dental anxiety and regain confidence in my smile. I live over an hour away, and they are worth the drive.
Absolutely fantastic!! I had an emergency, and Dr. Platt was able to see me within 90 minutes. He was able to extract the tooth right there. All the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. He is now my new dentist.
What a great dental practice! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Each room has a view of the beautiful botanical garden, which is stunning and relaxing. My dental hygienist, “Bonnie,” was so friendly and informative about my cleaning procedure. Dr. Platt is a warm and caring dentist who made me feel comfortable and welcome! I highly recommend this dental practice!
Dr. Ryan Platt was absolutely amazing! My daughter was seen by him instead of her regular dentist because he was on vacation, and he got her in right away and took care of her better than I could have imagined! She is only seven and had to get a tooth pulled right away. The fear in my daughter and myself took over, but Dr. Platt assured us both and cared for her with flying colors.
It was the best dental visit I’ve had. I almost went to sleep in the chair after getting a cavity fixed and having crowns put in. There was NO PAIN AT ALL! I definitely recommend their services. Dr. Ryan, Kashel, and all of the staff were great!
After having cancer in my jaw, I was very scared to see a dentist. Dr. Platt was incredible and made me feel like we were in this together. He heard me (and my fears) and gave me so many options that together, we could find a plan I was comfortable with. He is the first dentist I’ve gone to in 46 years, and it didn’t hurt, and for me, that’s huge! He’s allowed me to not be ashamed of my smile.
