Emergencies Welcome
Oral cancer screenings are quick and non-invasive procedures performed to detect the early signs of cancerous or precancerous conditions in the mouth. During a screening, our dentists examine your mouth for abnormalities such as red or white patches, lumps, or sores that have not healed. We utilize advanced tools to ensure a comprehensive evaluation that catches any potential issues early, and over 75% of patients survive cancer for at least one year post-diagnosis.
Identifying cancerous or precancerous conditions in their earliest stages is exactly what makes the treatment simpler and considerably more likely to succeed.
Regular monitoring gives you real reassurance between your visits, so that a sore or an unexplained patch does not have to sit in the back of your mind for weeks.
Addressing any potential problems promptly enhances your overall health, because oral abnormalities can sometimes point to conditions well beyond your mouth.
The full screening takes only about five minutes and is completely painless, which makes it genuinely easy to add onto a preventive visit you already have booked.
The screening adds only a few minutes to your appointment and follows four steps.
Request an AppointmentOur highly skilled dentist carefully inspects your entire mouth for any unusual changes, lesions, or discolored patches of tissue.
A gentle palpation of the neck and the jaw lets us feel for any lumps or swelling that a visual inspection on its own would miss.
We use specialized lights or dyes to highlight any abnormal tissues, which brings the hard-to-see changes clearly into full view.
We review whatever the screening has turned up and discuss any of the necessary follow-up actions in plain, straightforward terms.
We note down anything worth watching so that it can be compared directly at your next visit rather than assessed again from scratch.
Screenings are crucial for everyone, and particularly so if you notice any of these.
A mouth sore has stuck around rather than healing on its own within the couple of weeks that you would normally expect it to.
You have noticed bleeding in your mouth that simply cannot be traced back to brushing, flossing, or to any recent dental work.
Swallowing has become difficult, or a sore throat has settled in and simply refuses to clear up over the course of several weeks.
Tobacco use, regular alcohol consumption, or HPV exposure all raise your risk enough to make an annual screening genuinely worthwhile.
I’ve had an excellent experience with Carrie. She is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and detail oriented. Each visit is efficient yet never feels rushed, and she always takes the time to explain procedures and provide helpful recommendations for maintaining good oral health. Her thoroughness and gentle approach make every cleaning comfortable and effective. I highly recommend Carrie for anyone seeking high-quality dental care delivered with professionalism and genuine care.
Taylor was Great! Warm and Friendly. Explained in detail about cleaning treatment and preventive tips with examples.. She was extremely thorough showed compassion with me during her treatment.. She is keeper!!!😃
Wonderful experience. Cari, the hygienist did a thorough cleaning and Dr Newman took her time with the exam and explained everything. I would definitely recommend this practice for dental care.
Friendly and Thorough! Taylor did a fantastic job with my cleaning—super thorough and gentle. I always feel welcomed and well taken care of every time I visit. My wife and I have been coming to this dental office for the past 3 years, and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental team!
Really liked your hygienist Carrie she was very thorough! And always like Dr Pham ;) happy with my choice of dentist office. Highly recommend.
I joined Valencia Aesthetic after a friend strongly recommended Dr. Fealy, so I was initially disappointed when I learned he was retiring. However, the new team — Drs. Rayan and Peyman Kafri and Dr. Pham — has exceeded my expectations. I really appreciate their thoughtful treatment plans and the level of information they provide, which has helped me make well-informed decisions about my dental care. The staff is consistently professional and courteous, and it’s especially convenient that Valencia Aesthetic offers endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery in addition to general dentistry. Recently, when I experienced an unexpected dental issue, the staff worked me into the schedule immediately, and the doctors adjusted their schedules to address the problem quickly, relieving my pain between two important work trips. I have rarely experienced such attentive care and service. Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry has earned my strongest recommendation!
Always a pleasant experience! Love the gentle and sweet kindness, thorough expertise and skills of Aniko who does my dental cleaning. Courtney and the other staff in the office are always very kind, attentive and courteous. Thanks and see you all in 6 months! 😀
I’ve had a great experience at this dental office, especially with the oral surgeon and Dr. K. They are both incredibly skilled, patient, and professional, and they took the time to explain everything clearly, which really helped put me at ease. The procedure went smoothly and the care afterward was excellent. The whole team is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about their patients. I highly recommend this practice.
Leah was awesome. She made my cleaning visit enjoyable. The whole staff was very professional and thorough
Aniko is amazing— so calm & thorough. She cares so much about her patients & does everything in her power to make them comfortable.
Aniko has been cleaning my teeth for over 10 years and I can't say enough about how good she is!! Patient, gentle and very thorough! My husband and I just love her! And the entire office!
Carrie is an outstanding hygienist! She is personable, caring, knowledgeable, and thorough. I won’t see anyone else!

Great teeth cleaning experience, actually fell asleep, thanks Kristin. Sierra did a good thorough full set of xrays. Thanks.
Aniko is the best! Always the friendliest hygienist and does a very thorough job. Highly recommend!
Everyone here is great. From dentists, to oral surgeons to office staff to hygienists, especially Kristin. I'm glad we switched here last year
I found my old hygienist, Taylor — and that’s the only reason I came here! She is hands-down the BEST in town, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my teeth. I’m so happy I tracked her down! Dr. Snead was amazing too — so thorough and made sure I understood everything going on with my mouth and what we’re doing next. And honestly, everyone I encountered from the reception team to the dental assistant was fantastic. They made the whole visit such a great experience!
Carrie does a great job. She is gentle and thorough.
I always leave my cleaning with my teeth feeling clean. Carrie is gentle, and thorough. I Highly recommend this hygienist.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kafri and his entire team! From the moment we walked in, my husband and I felt completely at ease. The front desk staff is friendly and professional, and the hygienists gave us both incredibly thorough yet gentle cleanings 😁 Dr. Kafri himself is outstanding. I had a couple of fillings done and was amazed at how painless and quick the entire process was. He’s calm, caring, and explains everything so clearly. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients’ comfort and long-term health. If you’re looking for a dental office that combines skill, compassion, and a great atmosphere, look no further.
