Dental Practice Cuts Missed Diagnoses 94% with AI Imaging
4-dentist practice, 2 hygienists
The Challenge
Summit Dental was missing subtle pathologies on X-rays, leading to patient complaints and liability concerns. Case acceptance rates hovered at 58% because patients didn't understand their treatment needs. The front desk spent 15+ hours weekly on insurance verification and scheduling.
The Solution
Pearl AI was deployed for real-time radiograph analysis, flagging pathologies instantly during patient visits. Dentrix handled automated insurance verification, patient reminders, and scheduling optimization. Pearl's visual overlays became the primary case presentation tool, showing patients exactly what the AI detected.
The Results

Up from 58% — patients trust AI-highlighted visuals
Automated verification and scheduling freed up front desk
Higher acceptance + fewer missed treatments
“Pearl literally saved us from a malpractice situation in the first month. It flagged a hairline fracture I would have missed. Now I can't imagine practicing without it.”
