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.

Last year my family moved from Texas to New York. I wasn't worried. I've moved my whole life. Florida to NYU. NYU to Connecticut. Connecticut to Texas. Moving is my thing. Plus my wife is a machine at planning. I figured we had this. Then reality showed up. The movers arrived at our new house. One problem. We hadn't closed on it yet. The timing we planned for fell apart. So our entire life went into my sister-in-law's garage. Then we hired a second set of movers to get it from her garage into...

I had a case that still bugs me when I look at the photos. We fixed the crowding. We got great intrusion on the lower front teeth. The before and after was a huge win. But one tooth was off. The lower central incisor. It bothered me. Three or four trays and it would be perfect. I could see it. I wanted it. So I brought it up with the patient. He looked at me and said "Doc, I really don't want to wear more trays. Are we good?" Here's where most of us mess up. We push. We say "trust me, it's...
