Proactive Checks for Your Peace of Mind

Oral cancer screening is a vital part of preventive dental care. At Copper Hills Dental, we are committed to protecting your overall health by offering routine oral cancer screenings in Safford, Arizona. This quick, painless procedure can help detect early signs of cancer and other abnormalities, increasing the chances of successful treatment.

A Simple Exam That Could Save Your Life

Oral cancer can affect any part of the mouth, including the tongue, lips, cheeks, throat and gums. It often develops without obvious symptoms, which makes early detection critical. During your screening, our dentists and team carefully examine the tissues of your mouth for unusual changes, such as:
  • Sores that do not heal
  • Red or white patches
  • Lumps or thickened tissues
  • Persistent pain or discomfort
  • Changes in voice or difficulty swallowing

We may also use advanced screening tools for better visibility and accuracy. If any abnormalities are found, our team will recommend the next steps, which may include a biopsy or referral to a specialist for further evaluation.

Trusted Screening in a Comfortable Setting

At our office, your health and comfort are always our priorities. Oral cancer screenings are fast, non-invasive and typically performed during routine dental checkups. The process takes only a few minutes and does not involve any discomfort. We are trained to recognize even the subtle signs of concern, offering a valuable layer of protection for your health.Benefits of oral cancer screening include:
  • Early detection of potentially serious conditions
  • Increased survival rates with timely treatment
  • Peace of mind for you and your loved ones
  • Enhanced overall wellness and prevention focus
  • Personalized recommendations for follow-up care if needed

Regular screenings are especially important for patients with risk factors such as tobacco or alcohol use, a history of HPV, sun exposure or a family history of cancer. However, everyone benefits from routine monitoring, regardless of their health history.

If it has been a while since your last dental checkup, or if you are concerned about any changes in your mouth, do not wait. Call 928-428-2750 to schedule an appointment. We provide compassionate care and thorough oral cancer screening services in Safford, AZ, helping you stay informed and protected.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Darlee M.

I don’t like going to the dentist…never have… but it is awesome that you can walk in needing a crown and walk out two hours later with a permanent crown in place instead of another appointment to come back to finalize it. Technology is amazing and I’m glad Dr. Seth Skinner returned to Safford to offer his expertise and this new technology to people in the Gila Valley! BTW his dental hygienists and staff are also awesome!!

Michael S.

This was my first visit and my experience was by far the most friendly and best dental office I have experienced They are attentive to every issue and understanding when work is needed and every issue is explained. Very professional staff and dentist. Anxiety level was 8 during visit anxiety level dropped to about a 2. I love this dental office.
