As an expert in oral health, Dr. Aunon’s dental treatments provide the best overall defense against oral cancer, and now those treatments utilize the latest in dental technology with Vizilite.

ViziLite is a simple device to improve the identification, evaluation and monitoring of oral abnormalities for patients at increased risk for oral cancer. It is comprised of a chemiluminescent light source (ViziLite) that has proven successful in identifying soft tissue abnormalities in other areas of the body, and aids in the early identification of oral abnormalities that can lead to cancer.

An annual ViziLite Plus exam, in combination with a regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure for patients at increased risk for oral cancer. The ViziLite Plus exam is painless and fast, and could help save your life.

ViziLite Plus is performed immediately following a regular visual examination

• First, you will be instructed to rinse with a cleansing solution
• Next, the overhead lighting will be dimmed.
• Then, your Dr. Aunon will examine your mouth using ViziLite Plus, a specially designed light technology.
