Personalised Oral Health Starts with Your DNA
Unlock the Future of Oral Health
At Genoral, we believe oral health is more than surface-level. We are a team of scientists, dental professionals, and technologists driven by one mission: to personalise dental care through advanced genetic testing. Our work empowers patients and dentists with unique, actionable insights hidden in DNA—revolutionising how we prevent and treat oral conditions.
Why We Exist
Oral diseases often go unnoticed until it’s too late. At Genoral, we bridge the gap between routine dental checkups and precision healthcare. By decoding your genetic predispositions to issues like gum disease, cavities, and inflammation, we help create tailored plans that protect your smile for life. It’s time oral health got personal—and proactive.
Our Methods
At Genoral, we employ a comprehensive suite of advanced methodologies to decode the genetic and microbial factors influencing oral health.
Our approach integrates cutting-edge techniques to provide a holistic understanding of each individual's oral ecosystem.
Sample Collection
We begin with a non-invasive saliva collection process, ensuring patient comfort while obtaining high-quality samples for analysis.
DNA Extraction & Quantification
Utilizing automated systems such as Promega and Qiagen, we extract DNA with precision. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is then employed to quantify specific genetic markers associated with oral health conditions.
16S rRNA Gene Sequencing
For microbial community profiling, we perform 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This technique allows us to identify and quantify bacterial species present in the oral cavity, providing insights into the microbial balance and its implications for oral health.
Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing
To achieve a deeper understanding, we utilize shotgun metagenomic sequencing. This method enables us to analyze all genetic material in a sample, identifying not only bacteria but also viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms, along with their functional genes.
Metabolomic Analysis
Complementing our genetic analyses, we conduct metabolomic profiling to assess the biochemical compounds present in the oral environment. This helps in understanding the metabolic activities of the microbial community and their impact on oral health.
Bioinformatics & Data Interpretation
Our bioinformatics team employs advanced computational tools to interpret the complex data generated. We provide clinicians with actionable insights, translating genetic and microbial information into personalised oral health strategies.
