The leading dental support organization
adds Overjet's artificial intelligence to its alliance of more
than 400 practices, bringing the most advanced dental technology to
patients across the country.
BOSTON, July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Dental Care Alliance,
one of the nation's leading dental support organizations (DSOs),
today announced a historic rollout of
Overjet, the world-leader in dental AI.
The combination of sheer size and technical sophistication makes
this launch one of the most ambitious deployments of AI in the
history of dentistry. But for DCA, the goal is simple: Giving every
patient the best possible care.
"Transforming dental care through AI isn't just about
innovation or technology," said Jason
Heffelfinger, CEO of Dental Care Alliance. "It's about
empowering our supported providers, advancing precision,
personalizing patient experiences, and pioneering a new era of oral
health. We are proud to partner with Overjet to be the first DSO to
implement this game-changing platform across our family of more
than 400 affiliated practices."
Overjet is the AI platform for dentistry. Its FDA-cleared
technology is trained on millions of X-rays and continuously tested
by a team of leading dentists, enabling it to detect, outline, and
quantify oral diseases with millimeter-level precision. In addition
to analyzing X-rays, Overjet is also an essential tool for
educating patients, since it highlights cavities, calculus, and
other pathologies with colorful overlays that patients can
understand. The result is greater trust in the dentist, which leads
to higher case acceptance.
DCA's leadership recognizes that its success with AI will
depend on its people, who are ultimately responsible for
understanding and implementing the new technology. That was the
motivation for DCA's unique and comprehensive rollout plan,
carefully designed to maximize Overjet's impact across all of its
providers. Through a combination of in-depth training sessions and
study clubs led by Overjet's expert clinical team, deep
integrations with providers' existing systems, and high-profile
promotional campaigns, DCA is setting the example for how to
implement dental AI at scale.
This organization-wide expansion builds on DCA's
initial partnership with Overjet that
began in May 2022, and which has
produced overwhelmingly positive reactions from both its providers
and patients. Beyond the dental chair, the platform will help DCA's
providers grow their practices — from streamlining the morning
huddle to identifying opportunities for care.
"The most successful DSOs of tomorrow will be those that
embrace AI today," said Wardah Inam,
CEO of Overjet. "From the very beginning of our partnership, DCA's
leaders wanted to do more than just keep pace with the latest
technology. They wanted to push dentistry forward. With this
milestone deployment of AI, Dental Care Alliance will set the new
standard for what patients expect at the dentist."
