🦷 What to Expect During a VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection can make all the difference. At Marielaina Perrone, DDS in Henderson/Green Valley, VELscope oral cancer screenings are a quick, painless, and valuable part of your preventive dental care.

During the screening, a special blue light is used to examine the tissues of your mouth. This technology helps highlight abnormal areas that may not be visible to the naked eye. The process takes just a few minutes, involves no discomfort, and is performed right alongside your routine dental exam.

VELscope screenings are especially important for adults, smokers or former smokers, patients who drink alcohol regularly, and anyone with a history of oral health concerns. Even if you have no symptoms, regular screenings provide peace of mind and proactive protection.

Making oral cancer screening part of your routine dental visits supports not only your smile—but your overall health. Prevention and early awareness are powerful tools.

🦷 Are Dental Implants Better Than Dentures? 🦷

If you’re missing teeth, choosing the right replacement can make a huge difference in comfort, confidence, and long-term oral health. At Marielaina Perrone, DDS in Henderson/Green Valley, patients often ask whether dental implants are a better option than traditional dentures — and for many, the answer is yes.

Here’s how they compare:
• Stability & comfort – Implants are securely anchored in the jaw, so they don’t slip or move like dentures can.
• Natural feel & function – Implants look, feel, and function like real teeth, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence.
• Bone preservation – Implants help maintain jawbone and facial structure, while dentures do not prevent bone loss.
• Longevity – With proper care, implants are designed to last many years, often longer than removable dentures.
• Easy care – Implants are brushed and flossed like natural teeth; dentures require removal and special cleaning.

While dentures may be appropriate in some cases, dental implants often provide a more secure, comfortable, and lasting solution for restoring your smile and quality of life.

🦷 What Does Neglecting Dental Care Really Cost in Henderson, NV?

Dental checkups and cleanings might feel routine, but skipping them can lead to serious consequences — both for your oral health and your wallet. At Marielaina Perrone, DDS, we see firsthand how small issues can become big problems when left unchecked.

Here’s what neglecting dental care can lead to:
• Advanced decay and cavities that require crowns, root canals, or extractions
• Gum disease progression — from irritation to painful, bone-losing periodontal disease
• Tooth loss and the need for implants, bridges, or dentures
• Higher overall treatment costs — what could’ve been prevented becomes costly repair
• Impact on overall health — oral infections can create inflammation that affects the whole body
• Lower confidence from missing or painful teeth

Preventive care — cleanings, exams, digital x-rays, early cavity treatment — keeps your smile healthy and catches problems early, when treatment is simpler and more affordable. A few visits a year can save you discomfort, time, and stress down the road.

Your smile deserves attention before symptoms appear. Routine dental care protects your teeth, supports your long-term health, and makes every smile brighter.

• Improve long-term oral health with a stable, sealed tooth

❤️ Can Gum Disease Affect Your Heart? ❤️

Your smile and your heart are more connected than you may think. At Marielaina Perrone, DDS in Henderson/Green Valley, we help patients understand how gum health plays a key role in overall wellness — including cardiovascular health.

When gums become inflamed, harmful bacteria can enter the bloodstream. This may contribute to inflammation in blood vessels, potentially increasing the risk of heart disease. For patients with a history of gum disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or smoking, staying proactive is especially important.

Protect your gums — and your heart — with simple steps:
• Brush and floss consistently
• Keep up with regular professional cleanings
• Don’t ignore bleeding or sensitive gums
• Maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle and hydration

Caring for your gums is one of the easiest ways to support long-term systemic health. Early prevention makes all the difference.
