Platinum Dental Services announced on Nov. 22 that it is partnering with Overjet to provide AI-powered X-ray analysis and clinical insights to all 24 of its practices.

Tooth decay, which includes cavities, is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. Overjet’s FDA-cleared AI technology outlines and highlights decay directly on X-rays, making it easy to see. It also quantifies bone level measurements, which helps dentists diagnose periodontal or gum disease. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss.

Vince Dilley, the founder and CEO of Platinum Dental Services, said in a news release that the company’s goal is to elevate patient care by ensuring affiliated practices have the best technology in the industry. 

“Overjet’s AI gives dentists a powerful diagnostic tool to use in their clinical decision-making and enables more collaborative treatment planning between specialists and general dentists,” he said. “It also helps fill a pervasive gap of mentoring for younger doctors. That’s impactful support.” 

AI using computers provide the same objective results consistently. That gives dentists more information to create their diagnosis and treatment plan and helps create an evidence-based standard of care.

Dr. Terri Dolan, the chief dental officer at Overjet, said that AI can help Platinum Dental Services’ teams with clinical accuracy and compelling case presentation. 

“When patients see the AI analysis with decay and bone loss marked in red, they can better understand why their doctor is recommending treatment,” she said. 

Overjet also increases operational efficiency by reviewing 18 months of radiographs from prior visits and identifying potential treatment needs. It can alert providers if X-rays or periodontal charting may be due. The clinical insights help providers plan their day and prepare for each patient more effectively.
