How It Works

From saliva sample to a clear picture of your gum health

UniquePerioSignature™ uses lab-grade qPCR technology to detect the exact bacteria linked to gum disease - giving you and your dentist real data, not guesswork.

The Process

Four simple steps

1

Order Your Kit

Order online or get one from your dentist. Every kit includes SalivaPreserv™, our DNA-stabilizing collection tube.

2

Collect Your Sample

Spit into the SalivaPreserv™ tube at home. No swabs, no bleeding, no dental visit required. Takes under 5 minutes.

3

We Run the Analysis

Your sample goes to our CLIA-certified lab, where qPCR technology identifies and counts 5 key periodontal pathogens.

4

Get Your Results

Within the two working days, you will receive a clear report showing your key pathogens levels. Share the report with your dental provider for a personalized treatment plan. Also check this - Understanding Your Results.

Why It's Different

Not a guess. A count.

Traditional gum disease screening relies on probing and visual inspection - useful, but it can't tell you which bacteria are actually driving the problem, or how much is present.

UniquePerioSignature™ uses qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) - the same core technology used in clinical DNA diagnostics - to measure the exact bacterial load in your saliva, pathogen by pathogen.

Day 0

Collect your sample

Provide a small saliva sample into your SalivaPreserv™ tube. Your DNA stays stable at room temperature for up to 14 days, so there is no rush to ship it back to our facility.

After Sample is Received in the Lab
Day 0–1

Sample check-in & processing

Your kit is received and processed at our CLIA-certified facility, where our clinical team securely logs it in and prepares the sample for advanced qPCR analysis.

Day 2

Results reported

Your personalized Test Result Summary is generated. This report clearly displays your specific bacterial counts and benchmarks them against healthy, moderate, and high-positive reference ranges.

After

Review with your dentist

Share the report with your dental provider. Your dentist will use these precise molecular results, alongside their own physical clinical exam to recommend a highly personalized and effective care plan. Also check this - Understanding Your Results.

Understanding Your Report

Your results, explained simply

Your report groups your bacterial levels into a color-coded risk zone, so you know exactly where you stand - and what to do next.

Green Zone - Low Risk

Your mouth is in a healthy, balanced state. Keep up your routine and daily maintenance.

Yellow Zone - Moderate Risk

Some pathogens are elevated. Your dentist may recommend a cleaning and closer monitoring.

Red Zone - High Risk

Pathogen levels suggest active disease risk. A more comprehensive treatment plan is likely.

Common Questions

Quick answers

Do I need to go to a dental office to take this test?

No. You collect your saliva sample at home in under 5 minutes. Some clinics also offer in-office collection.

How accurate is qPCR compared to traditional exams?

qPCR directly measures bacterial DNA, giving a precise count rather than a visual estimate. It's used alongside - not instead of - your dentist's clinical exam.

How often should I retest?

Every 6 months at your regular dental visit, or sooner if symptoms appear or your dentist recommends it.

Is this test FDA approved?

This is a laboratory-developed test performed under CLIA# 45D2313828. FDA clearance isn't required for this type of clinical laboratory testing.
