Oral Microbiome & Saliva Diagnostics
Understanding your unique oral biology to personalise your care.
Your mouth is home to over 700 species of bacteria, and the balance of this microbial community has profound implications for both your oral and systemic health. The Oral Microbiome & Saliva Diagnostics Centre uses advanced laboratory testing to identify exactly what is happening in your oral environment to personalise prevention and treatment around your specific biology.
“Generic dental advice ignores the fact that every person’s oral biology is unique. When we understand your microbiome, we stop guessing and start acting with precision.”
What Does It Involve?
Saliva is one of the most diagnostically rich fluids in the body. It contains thousands of proteins, enzymes, antibodies, and microbial markers that reflect the status of your oral tissues, immune system, and systemic health. We use validated laboratory assays to extract clinically meaningful information from this data.
Rather than treating everyone with the same cleaning schedule and fluoride paste, we use your microbiome and salivary profile to design a care pathway that actually matches your biology. This changes outcomes.
8 Areas of Analysis
Oral Microbiome Analysis
Identification and quantification of bacterial species in your saliva and subgingival plaque to assess risk for caries, gum disease, and systemic conditions.
Salivary Diagnostics
Comprehensive evaluation of salivary biomarkers including inflammatory cytokines, antibodies, and disease indicators.
Salivary Flow Assessment
Measurement of resting and stimulated saliva production rates to identify dry mouth and its systemic and medication-related causes.
Salivary pH Analysis
Monitoring of oral pH and buffering capacity to assess acid neutralisation ability and caries risk in real time.
Caries Risk Assessment
Microbiome-informed caries risk profiling to identify high-risk individuals before cavities form.
Periodontal Risk Assessment
Pathogen-specific analysis to predict susceptibility to gum disease progression and tailor maintenance intervals.
Inflammatory Risk Assessment
Quantification of inflammatory markers in saliva linked to systemic conditions including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Personalised Prevention Programs
A bespoke prevention plan built directly from your diagnostic results, including targeted probiotics, diet changes, and home care adjustments.
Three Principles Behind Every Appointment
Diagnostics-Led
We test before we treat. Understanding your biology allows us to act with precision rather than applying generic protocols.
Systemic Connections
Your oral microbiome influences your gut health, immune function, and systemic disease risk. Our diagnostics help you understand and manage those links.
Outcomes Over Protocols
Our goal is not to perform a test but to change your outcomes. Every diagnostic finding is translated into a concrete action plan.
The Doctors Behind Your Care
Your care is led by our senior clinicians, Dr. Srivats and Dr. Param, with over 50 years of combined clinical experience. Every finding is reviewed and explained personally; we do not delegate your understanding to anyone else.
