By now, it’s clear that technology is rapidly changing how we enjoy our lives. On top of making a huge impact on our work and recreational time, technological advancements are also changing how we take care of our oral health. Artificial intelligence (AI) made waves a few years back, and its positive impacts continue to build as we head toward 2026. AI does not replace dental expertise and experience. You can think of it similarly to your car’s navigation system; it is very helpful to use it, but you are still in charge of your vehicle and your road map. We firmly believe in patient choice at Grand Dental Studio.
In 2023, we made an investment in Overjet AI, a state-of-the-art technology in our office. You may be wondering what this means for you.
Achieving Faster and More Accurate Diagnoses
Both patients and providers can agree that one of the most exciting dental AI advancements is the ability to use the technology to diagnose oral health issues faster and with greater accuracy. Our providers are excited to use Overjet AI, which is a company dedicated to enhancing dental diagnostics through the use of advanced machine learning to analyze X-rays. For reference, there are a handful of major players in this space, with Overjet AI at the top and over 15 smaller competitors fostering innovation in the area.
New AI-powered technology allows us to achieve greater precision in detecting gum disease, cavities, and infections. Catching potential dental issues before they turn into bigger concerns allows our patients to enjoy less invasive and more effective treatments.
Enhancing the Patient Experience
The best thing about AI in dentistry is that we can use AI tools to help our patients gain a better understanding of their dental conditions and treatment options. Clear, easy-to-understand text and images help explain procedures in ways that empower patients to make informed decisions. The imagery really lets patients participate in their care. People are blown away by the visuals. A picture is truly worth a thousand words!
Looking Forward to the Future of AI In Dentistry
Although AI is already making an impact, the potential for its use in dentistry is just beginning. As technology evolves, we can’t wait to see even greater advancements in how we provide preventative care, plan treatments, and improve the overall patient experience. Our goal for using AI is simple: making dental care more comprehensive, visual, and clear to improve our patient experience.
At Grand Dental Studio, we are always looking for ways to improve patient care. This new technology provides visual talking points that can help improve your standard of care. The future is looking bright for the field of dentistry, and our commitment is always to provide high-quality, personalized care to all of our patients and integrate technology where we think our patients can benefit most. We want your experience with us to be interactive and fun! That is why we strive to be Oklahoma’s Best Dental Experience every day.
