Find Answers for Inherited Dental Enamel Disorders
When your family faces generations of dental problems – weak enamel, discoloured teeth, or constant sensitivity – it can feel overwhelming and isolating. You’ve likely watched loved ones struggle with dental issues that seem to pass from parent to child, wondering if there’s a genetic cause behind these persistent problems. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that inherited dental conditions affect more than just your smile – they impact your confidence, daily comfort, and overall quality of life.
Our LAMB3 Gene Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 1A test provides the clarity South African families need to break the cycle of uncertainty and take control of their dental health journey.
Understanding Your Genetic Dental Health
The LAMB3 gene plays a crucial role in developing strong, healthy tooth enamel – the protective outer layer of your teeth. When this gene contains specific mutations, it can lead to Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 1A, a hereditary condition that causes severe enamel defects. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your LAMB3 gene with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your dental health.
This isn’t just a simple DNA test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides definitive answers about inherited enamel disorders, helping you and your dental specialists develop targeted treatment plans.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Severe tooth enamel defects present from childhood
- Yellow, brown, or grey tooth discolouration that brushing cannot remove
- Extreme tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Rapid tooth wear or enamel chipping
- Multiple family members with similar dental problems
- Children showing early signs of enamel development issues
- Unexplained dental problems despite good oral hygiene
Many South African patients have spent years visiting multiple dentists without finding the root cause of their dental issues. Our genetic test provides the missing piece to this puzzle.

Understanding your genetic predisposition to Amelogenesis Imperfecta transforms your approach to dental care:
- Personalised Treatment Planning: Dental specialists can create targeted interventions based on your specific genetic profile
- Preventive Care Strategies: Implement protective measures before severe damage occurs
- Family Planning Guidance: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
