What is AI dental software?
AI dental software uses artificial intelligence to analyse dental images, automate charting, support diagnosis, manage patient workflows, and improve clinical accuracy. It helps dentists make faster, more consistent, and data-driven decisions.
How does AI improve dental diagnostics?
AI can detect cavities, bone loss, infections, fractures, and other oral issues on X-rays with high precision. It acts as a “second opinion,” helping dentists catch early problems that may be overlooked during manual review.
Is AI dental software reliable?
Yes. Most leading AI dental tools go through extensive clinical testing and regulatory approvals. They are designed to support— not replace— the dentist’s judgment, improving consistency and diagnostic confidence.
Benefits of adding AI to my dental practice?
-
Higher diagnostic accuracy
-
Faster workflows and reduced chair time
-
Automated charting and documentation
-
Better patient communication with visual AI overlays
-
Reduced admin workload (scheduling, billing, reminders)
-
Improved treatment planning and case acceptance
Can AI help with orthodontics?
Yes. Tools like DentalMonitoring use AI to evaluate tooth movement and track treatment progress remotely. This reduces in-office visits and improves patient compliance.
There are a number of AI software solutions being used in dental services today, depending on what aspect of the practice you want to improve (diagnostics, imaging, patient management, charting, remote monitoring, etc.). Here are some of the top AI tools in dentistry + what they’re good for, and things to consider — plus some emerging trends.
Top AI Software in Dental Services
-
Overjet
-
Specialise in AI-powered analysis of dental radiography (X-rays). Helps detect cavities, bone loss, and other pathologies with high accuracy.
-
Provides color-coded overlays on X-rays to help patient communication.
-
Integrates with existing imaging and practice management systems.
-
-
Denti.AI
-
Automates clinical charting and documentation. Converts voice (what the dentist says) into structured notes.
-
Has AI modules for radiography interpretation: detects cavities, bone loss, root fractures, etc.
-
Voice-based periodontal charting (probing depths, gum recession) to reduce manual charting.
-
-
Dental Monitoring
-
Focused on remote monitoring, especially for orthodontic treatment. Patients send photos via a smartphone; the AI analyzes tooth movement and oral health events.
-
Good for treatment compliance, follow-up, and reducing in-clinic visits.
-
-
VideaHealth / VideaAI
-
AI platform that helps detect dental diseases from X-rays.
-
Designed to integrate with common dental practice management & imaging systems, enhancing workflow without major overhaul.
-
-
Diagnocat
-
Uses AI to analyze both 2D (e.g., panoramic) and 3D (e.g., CBCT) scans.
-
Can detect a wide range of dental conditions and generate detailed reports, plus 3D models useful for planning implants or other complex treatments.
-
-
Pearl AI
-
Well-known for its “Second Opinion” product: real-time radiograph analysis to detect various issues.
-
Helps standardize diagnoses and can act as a diagnostic “safety net” or second pair of eyes.
-
-
Planmeca (AI tools)
-
Planmeca’s platform includes AI for diagnostic support (e.g., caries detection, early disease) from intraoral and extraoral data.
-
Also supports orthodontic analyses, treatment simulation, and patient engagement via AI-driven visualizations.
-
-
Orca Dental AI
-
Focused more on workflow optimization, analytics, and clinical operations. According to SmartDentAI, it helps with both treatment quality and operational performance.
-
-
Viva AI
-
Provides AI front-office automation: appointment scheduling, reminders, billing, patient communication. Wikipedia
-
Good for practices that want to reduce administrative burden and automate repetitive tasks.
-
-
WeDiagnostiX
-
According to F6S, this AI software analyzes panoramic radiographs, detects many pathologies (they claim ~19), automatically numbers teeth, and generates report.
