CE Webinar

Dental AI delivers the greatest value when it quietly supports the entire practice.  

This CE webinar explores how AI-powered imaging and ambient clinical intelligence—natively embedded within the Practice Management System—create a seamless, touchless experience for both clinical teams and office managers.  

By automatically connecting x-rays, clinical notes, and patient records in real time, embedded AI reduces manual steps, limits rework, and keeps everyone aligned—helping clinicians stay focused on care while office managers benefit from cleaner documentation, fewer handoffs, and smoother daily operations, all without adding clicks, screens, or complexity. 

Learning Objectives 

  • Understand how touchless AI integrates imaging and clinical intelligence directly into the dental PMS
  • Explain how always-on AI improves efficiency and consistency for both clinical and administrative teams
  • Identify how seamless AI workflows strengthen documentation accuracy, team alignment, and patient understanding
