About Our Salivary Testing

At our office, we partner with OralDNA Labs® to provide advanced salivary diagnostics that look closely at your oral microbiome. This helps us detect specific periodontal pathogens and genetic risk factors at an earlier, more treatable stage, allowing us to completely personalize your treatment.

Note: Your sample is collected easily in our office via a quick oral rinse. Once processed, your diagnostic results are sent securely back to our clinical team. We will hand you a copy and walk through your personalized report together at your next visit.

Precision Dentistry: Moving Beyond the Dental Probe

We don’t guess—we test. Our practice utilizes advanced DNA salivary diagnostics to identify the exact bacterial root causes of oral inflammation and protect your total-body health.

 

Backed by Clinical Laboratory Science

We proudly partner with OralDNA Labs®, a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory,
to process our salivary samples using quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) technology.
This is the same high-accuracy DNA testing framework used in advanced medical diagnostics.

What to Expect?

Our Diagnostic Panel

  • Step 1: The 30-Second Rinse — During your routine hygiene exam or periodontal evaluation, you will perform a quick, non-invasive oral swish and spit.

  • Step 2: Lab Sequencing — Your sample is securely barcoded and shipped via FedEx to OralDNA Labs for molecular analysis.

  • Step 3: Clinical Review — Results arrive at our office within 3 to 5 business days.

  • Step 4: Clinical Review —  Because these reports contain complex microbiological data and drug-susceptibility profiles, our clinical team will hand you a full physical copy and interpret the findings directly with you at your follow-up appointment.
