Care That Looks Beyond the Surface in West Hialeah, Florida

Oral cancer screenings offer peace of mind by helping identify potential concerns early, so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

“In West Hialeah, Florida, I strongly believe part of my responsibility is to look beyond what patients can see or feel themselves. Oral cancer screenings are moments of careful attention—taking the time to notice subtle changes that might otherwise go unnoticed. It’s a quiet but important way to support long-term health and give patients reassurance through awareness.”

— Dr. Madeleine Castellanos-Gonzalez, DMD

Preventive Care That Prioritizes Early Awareness

Oral cancer screenings are approached as an essential part of preventive dental care, with a focus on early awareness rather than symptom-based detection. By routinely examining oral tissues, we aim to identify subtle changes that may benefit from further evaluation.

This philosophy emphasizes consistency, attentiveness, and patient education. Screenings are integrated into regular dental visits to support long-term oral health planning and provide reassurance through careful, proactive monitoring.
