In partnership with leading dental providers and insurers, Overjet will give patients instant clarity on their treatment costs and coverage — while they’re still in the chair.
SAN MATEO, CA, March 17, 2025 -- Overjet, the world-leader in dental AI, today announced the launch of the Dental Clarity Network (DCN). The DCN is a group of major companies across the dental care system that are using cutting-edge technology to improve the patient experience, while removing friction between payers and providers.
The group’s first initiative is introducing ReviewPASS: A technology that lets providers know that they’ll be skipping the manual insurance review process for a wide range of procedures. Today, 63% of patients say they’ve felt “confused and uncertain” about the costs of dental work, according to an Overjet survey of more than 1,000 US adults. ReviewPASS addresses this long-standing challenge by enabling patients to confidently understand and use their dental benefits in real time. The result is confidence — for both patients and dentists — in the nature and speed of future reimbursement.
Many of the largest dental providers and insurers have already joined the Dental Clarity Network. Overjet’s founding partners include MetLife, Humana, Guardian, Dental Care Alliance, The Smilist Dental, North American Dental Group, InterDent, and CORDENTAL GROUP. Overjet expects ReviewPASS to be in live testing with at least 5 of the top 20 US dental insurers by mid-2025. Across the board, these partners are playing a critical role in developing the new technology and processes that enable patients to instantly understand their benefits coverage — without needing to wait for clinical review of their claims.
“We’re thrilled to partner with innovators who want to move the dental industry forward on insurance reimbursement and eliminate a key pain point for everyone,” said Overjet CEO Wardah Inam. “Cross-industry problems require cross-industry solutions. Overjet and our partners are committed to using technology to advance patient oral health.”
ReviewPASS is the first real-time, upfront service that indicates an insurance claim will bypass clinical review by dental consultants. It covers reviews on more than 300 dental procedures, including higher-cost procedures frequently reviewed by insurers such as crowns, core buildups, impactions, scaling and root planing, and implants. ReviewPASS also automates the assembly of needed documentation to lower administrative burden on dental practices. Importantly, ReviewPASS never denies inquiries; it does provide tips on helpful documents to support benefits approvals.
“We’re focused on ensuring patients have access to the dental care needed to support their well-being, without the concern of receiving a surprise bill,” said Dr. Pete Fuentes, Chief Dental Officer at MetLife. “In collaboration with Overjet, MetLife will support cost transparency by offering policyholders real-time chairside understanding of dental coverage based on the treatment plan and documentation provided by their dentist. In return, providers will understand any gaps in documentation upfront and can be paid faster.”
Overjet launched ReviewPASS in private beta testing in February 2025, with a plan to scale up the technology for industry-wide use later in 2025. If an instant ReviewPASS response is not possible without more information, dentists can still go through existing processes with insurers.
“Patients deserve to have confidence in their insurance benefits coverage when they move forward with dental care,” said Andrew Mintz, CEO of The Smilist Dental. “But today, the process of getting a traditional predetermination often takes weeks. Ultimately, ReviewPASS will allow us to give patients clarity on their costs upfront — so they can schedule or even complete care on the same day. It’s a big step forward for dentistry.”
