Rapid In-House Blood Testing Arrives at Optimal Dental Health with Igloo Device
London, UK - Optimal Dental Health, a holistic dental practice in Baker Street, London, is proud to announce the arrival of the Igloo Blood Test Machine, a state-of-the-art, in-practice blood testing system that delivers vital health data in minutes.
This innovative technology allows patients to receive rapid, accurate results during their dental appointments, supporting smarter, more personalised treatment planning.
"At Optimal Dental Health, we're always looking for ways to elevate patient care through smarter technology and personalised treatment planning," said Dr James Goolnik, Dentist at Optimal Dental Health. "The Igloo device lets us perform blood tests on-site, giving us the insights we need to optimise dental treatments and support overall health."
Rapid Results for Better Dental Care
The Igloo machine tests a range of important health markers that directly impact dental treatment outcomes:
- Vitamin D - Supports bone metabolism and calcium absorption. Adequate Vitamin D is crucial for implant success, bone regeneration, oral surgery recovery, immune health, and cavity prevention. Real-time testing helps clinicians plan treatments with greater confidence.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP) - A marker of inflammation. Monitoring CRP levels helps manage gum disease, implant healing, and overall inflammatory responses for safer, more effective care.
- HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) - Reflects long-term blood sugar control. Understanding HbA1c is vital for patients with diabetes, ensuring safer surgical procedures, better periodontal outcomes, and improved healing.
Benefits for Patients
Patients at Optimal Dental Health will experience:
- Fast, reliable results during their visit
- Improved treatment planning and personalised care
- Non-invasive, convenient testing without external lab visits
- Better outcomes for implants, surgery, and periodontal health
"By integrating rapid blood testing directly into our practice, we're bridging the gap between dental and whole-body health," added Dr James Goolnik. "It allows us to provide a higher standard of care and tailor treatments to each patient's unique biology."
