As you probably already know, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the landscape of dentistry—bringing precision, consistency, and speed to clinical and operational workflows. What was once considered futuristic technology is now a practical tool helping dentists deliver better care, streamline processes, and grow their practices.
In this post, we’ll explore the most impactful AI applications in dentistry today and highlight how Overjet, the industry’s leading dental AI platform, is helping dental professionals transform their practices with real results.
1. AI-Powered Radiograph Interpretation
One of the most transformative uses of AI in dentistry is radiograph analysis. Traditional image interpretation varies between providers and can lead to diagnostic inconsistencies. AI changes that by analyzing images using deep learning algorithms trained on millions of radiographs.
Benefits:
Enhanced diagnostic accuracy
Consistent interpretation across providers
Early detection of caries and bone loss
Overjet in Action:
Overjet is the first and only dental AI company FDA-cleared for both caries detection and bone level measurement. The platform automatically analyzes bitewing and periapical X-rays, placing visual overlays directly on radiographs to help providers identify areas of concern quickly and confidently.

2. Clinical Decision Support & Case Acceptance
AI doesn’t just support diagnosis—it strengthens treatment acceptance. By turning clinical data into visual, patient-friendly insights, AI helps bridge the communication gap between dentist and patient.
Benefits:
Clear visuals help patients understand their condition
Increases trust and case acceptance
Overjet’s Advantage:
With Overjet, providers can show patients annotated radiographs that highlight decay, bone loss, and other issues in real time. Many practices using Overjet report 10–20% increases in case acceptance, thanks to clearer communication and more confident patients.
3. Provider Performance Analytics
In multi-provider practices and DSOs, maintaining clinical consistency is a top priority. AI enables organizations to monitor and compare provider performance using objective, data-driven metrics.
Benefits:
Track diagnostic trends and patterns
Identify coaching opportunities and outliers
Support credentialing and quality assurance
Overjet’s Edge:
Overjet provides detailed provider-level performance dashboards that track diagnostic accuracy, treatment mix, and more—allowing clinical leaders to make informed decisions that support ongoing excellence across the network.
4. Insurance Documentation & Claims Optimization
AI is also revolutionizing the way practices manage insurance claims. Instead of relying on manual documentation and subjective notes, AI helps generate strong clinical narratives that support accurate and defensible claims.
Benefits:
Faster, more consistent documentation
Reduced claim denials
Less administrative overhead
Overjet’s Impact:
Overjet’s annotated findings enhance the documentation used in insurance claims, helping practices improve claim acceptance and reduce the burden on administrative teams.
5. Credentialing & Compliance Monitoring
Traditional credentialing relies heavily on subjective evaluations and time-consuming documentation. AI adds a new layer of transparency and accountability to this process.
Benefits:
Data-backed credentialing decisions
Ongoing compliance tracking
Real-time alerts for anomalies
Overjet’s Value:
Overjet enables DSOs and group practices to use objective clinical data to credential providers and ensure consistent diagnostic performance over time—eliminating guesswork and improving clinical governance.
6. Patient Outcome Tracking
AI also allows for longitudinal tracking of patient health—particularly useful in areas like periodontics, where monitoring bone level changes is critical.
Benefits:
Quantifiable treatment outcomes
Personalized patient care over time
Stronger patient engagement
Overjet in Action:
With Overjet, providers can track bone level changes across visits, giving them clear insight into how treatments are working and when intervention is needed—allowing for more personalized and proactive care.
