AI is in dentistry—here’s what actually matters


Hey Friends,

AI is everywhere in dentistry right now.

Some people think it’ll replace doctors. Others think it’s just hype.

The truth?

It’s a tool.

And like any tool, it’s only useful if it actually helps you make more money or improve patient outcomes.

Here’s where AI can actually make a difference in your practice:

Treatment planning. Faster, more predictable setups for aligner cases. YOU still need to know what is going on with the movements but it can speed up the process and remove a lot of the legwork.

Virtual consults. Reduce no-shows and prequalify patients before they even step in the office.

Automated follow-ups. Keep patients engaged without extra work for your team.

Here’s where it’s overhyped and not worth your time:

• AI “diagnosis” tools that overcomplicate treatment planning.

• Gimmicky software that doesn’t integrate with your current systems.

• Any AI product that doesn’t actually save you time or increase revenue.

🔥 Actionable Tip: The simplest way to use AI right now? Automate your follow-ups. Most patients don’t accept treatment on the spot. AI tools like Dental Intel or NexHealth can automatically follow up with patients who didn’t schedule—so you capture more aligner cases without lifting a finger.

I have expanded my team and I am nervous. We are no longer just helping solo docs with aligners. We are now supporting associates at DSOs too. This hits deep for me. I used to be an associate at a DSO with no mentorship and no guidance. I had to find it and build it myself. DSOs have resources. They just struggle to deploy them in a way that actually helps doctors. That is the gap we are filling. Supporting doctors clinically while working with leadership to scale aligners responsibly.

If you have more than one priority, they are not priorities. They are a wishlist. I used to write down 10 or more things I wanted to accomplish every day. By the end of the day, I felt busy. But I did not feel accomplished. Now my list usually has two or three things. That is it. Why? Because I am clearer on my goals. We think we need to be doing all the things. We do not. Being busy is easy. Being productive is harder. hink about it like this. Doing 20 fillings in a day feels busy. Starting...

If you want to grow, you have to say no. Going into 2026, you will need to say no to more things than you say yes to. If clear aligners are not the area of your practice you want to grow, you should not watch my free training. You should not sign up for courses. You should not even be thinking about it. That might sound harsh, but clarity creates speed. If your goal is to improve schedule efficiency, then the only content you should be consuming and implementing is content that helps you do...
