Oral Cancer Screening
What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?
An oral cancer check is a quick yet vital examination used to detect early signs of cancer that can appear anywhere in the mouth, including the gums, lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, salivary glands, or the floor of the mouth. Early detection through an oral cancer screening offers the best chance for timely treatment and improved outcomes. Our dental team at Cosmetic Dental Studios provides thorough screenings to help protect your health and give you peace of mind. Contact our office in Manhattan, NY to schedule your examination.

Exceeding Expectations Daily
Dr. V and her team are amazing. She’s not only super talented but incredibly sweet and caring. It really shows threw her work..and I always feel very well taken care of. I’m so so happy with my results. 10/10
Had the best experience with Dr. Veytsman and her entire team. They made the experience easy, made me feel so comfortable throughout the process, and iterated with me to get my desired results for my smile makeover. They’re such a great team and I couldn’t imagine having gone anywhere else.
Dr. V, Celine, & Jessica are truly the dream team!! I spent months researching cosmetic dentists before finding this practice. Seeing examples of Dr. Veytsman’s previous work made me confident in her technical skill, but the whole team is so lovely that the smile makeover process I expected to be stressful and overwhelming turned out to be something I genuinely enjoyed from start to finish! Dr. V is the perfect mix of creative & artistic enough to build the perfect smile for each individual face, skilled enough to make the work quick & painless, and warm enough to make appointments something I actually looked forward to. She, Celine, and Jessica made me feel heard and supported the entire process and their feedback and expertise helped create a smile that was even better than anything I had hoped for. So grateful to benefit from this brilliant group of women’s talent and to be given the absolute GIFT of newfound confidence by creating a smile I’m so proud to show off!
Experiencing a cosmetic dental procedure with Dr. Veytsman was a delight due to her exceptional professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. Her kindness ensures a feeling of safety, and the flexibility to see her in both LA and NYC is a significant advantage. Thanks to her expertise, I now smile with newfound confidence.
I recently got veneers, and could not be more pleased with how they turned out!!!! Dr. Veytsman and her team were sooooo nice and extremely accommodating to my very tight timeline. They always made sure I was well taken care of and completely happy. I am more confident with my smile and no one can ever notice that they are veneers as they look so natural. Dr. Veytsman is amazing at what she does!!!!

What are the symptoms of needing an oral cancer screening?
In many cases, oral cancer does not cause obvious symptoms in its earliest stages, which is why routine screening is so important. However, there are certain changes in the mouth or surrounding tissues that should not be ignored. Paying attention to anything that feels unusual or does not heal as expected can help catch potential concerns earlier. Some signs that may indicate the need for an oral cancer screening include:
- Persistent mouth sores
- White patches
- Red patches
- Lumps
- Difficulty swallowing
- Jaw stiffness
These symptoms can be linked to a variety of conditions, but when they last longer than expected or worsen over time, they should be evaluated.
