At Kingsview Dental, oral cancer screenings are performed under the care of Dr. Kinjal Patel as part of your comprehensive dental exam. Our gentle and thorough screening process includes an examination of the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues to identify any abnormalities or early warning signs—often before symptoms appear.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Over the course of the last 6 weeks I've been coming here to get my teeth fixed. They did a phenomenal job and actually took the time to help instead of suggesting to pull all my teeth like previous dentists. For the first time in what feels like a decade I'm not embarrassed to smile, and it's all thanks to this wonderful team.

If you are looking for a dentist, I implore you to come here. They are caring, helpful, and do everything they can to make sure you are comfortable.
