Oral Cancer Screening

Twice-yearly dental checkups involve not only examining patients for decay, cavities, and periodontal disease, but are also an opportunity to check for oral cancer. Visiting our qualified dentists near you is one of the first lines of defense against oral cancer.

Oral Cancer Facts

There are several types of oral cancers, including lip, tongue, gums, hard and soft palate, tonsil, and throat. The key to successful oral cancer treatment depends on early detection and timely intervention. Dental exams play a crucial role in the early identification of oral cancer. Oral cancer screenings in Vancouver, BC, take only a few minutes to complete, and the procedure is pain-free and non-invasive.

I can't say enough great things about Enhance Dental, Dr. Pazhoh, and his team! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. The office is warm and welcoming, always spotless, and even smells amazing; it’s the little details that make such a difference.

Dr. Pazhoh is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had. It’s truly obvious that he cares about his patients, not just their teeth but their overall well-being. He always takes extra time to explain every step of my procedures, making sure I feel comfortable and informed, something I’ve never experienced at any other dental office. That level of care is rare and I appreciate it a lot!

The staff is equally incredible; they’re all very skilled, professional, and always friendly. It also feels like walking into a family business, the staff looks like they really like each other, and work very well together. I never feel rushed, and every visit is smooth and enjoyable. The team is always on time, clear and upfront about costs, with no hidden fees, and they encourage me to ask questions so I fully understand my insurance and how to maximize my hard-earned benefits.

The combination of Dr. Pazhoh’s expertise and the latest high-tech procedures and equipment means I didn’t have to be referred out for treatments that other dentists usually send you elsewhere for, which saved me so much time, money and hassle.

If you’re looking for a dental office where you’ll feel genuinely cared for, this is the place. I’m not trusting my care to anyone else!

I’ve been coming to this dentist for four years now and every time, I feel at ease and confident in my dental goals. This is coming from someone who hates the dentist. I won’t trust any other dentistry around.

Had a great experience here as a new patient. I went in for a routine checkup and cleaning and was treated like I’ve been a patient for years. My examination was done by Dr. Pazhoh, he took his time and completed the exam with great care. I didn’t have any major issues which was a relief 😅 they took a 3d scan of my teeth which showed that I primarily chew with one side of my mouth, I had somewhat felt this before but previously I was told that it’s not a big deal. Dr. Pazhoh offered some potential treatments for it which could also straighten one of my front teeth which has bothered me since I was a teenager (again I was previously told it’s not really worth fixing since it’s barely noticeable) The rest of the staff were very friendly as well. So glad to have found such an amazing clinic so close to my home 😁 thank you all

I came in to get bonding done on my two front teeth and it was a super great experience. I had another dentist I was going to for years and had a really bad experience so I decided to try Enhance and they went above and beyond my expectations! They were super professional and my bonding looks 100% natural. I’ll be coming here again for my cleanings! Lovely staff as well 🙂
