Dentistry Gets a Tech Boost: AI Steps In to Help Patients Understand Their Care

Dentists now have a new tool to help patients grasp their oral health better. VideaHealth and Henry Schein One have teamed up to create the Impact Panel. This feature is part of the Detect AI experience for Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend users. It uses AI to show patients their dental issues in real time. This way, patients can see why certain treatments are needed, making them more likely to agree to the recommended care.

How the Impact Panel Works

The Impact Panel combines AI insights with easy-to-understand visuals. It highlights areas of concern and provides summaries of tooth damage and bone levels. Patients can also take home diagrams and QR codes for reference. Practices using these features have seen a 19% increase in patients accepting treatment, showing that clear communication leads to better care decisions.

Benefits and Impact

The Impact Panel is free for Detect AI users. It aims to improve patient experience and diagnostic confidence. Dr. Seth Gibree from Heartland Dental notes that this tool can save time and make care more efficient. The goal is to deliver smarter and faster dental care with the help of AI.
