The dental industry is evolving quickly, and practices that want to stay ahead need to embrace smarter strategies and technology. From patient expectations and operational efficiency to diagnostic precision and case acceptance, the key to growth is working smarter—not just harder.

One of the most powerful tools leading the transformation of modern dental practices is artificial intelligence (AI). With the right AI integration, dental teams can improve clinical outcomes, streamline operations, and deliver a better patient experience.

Overjet, the industry leader in dental AI, is helping practices across the country modernize their workflows with measurable results.

1. Improve Diagnostic Accuracy and Consistency

Accurate, consistent diagnosis is the foundation of effective dental care—but in practice, variability between providers is common. Even with digital radiography, interpretation can vary based on experience, time constraints, or case complexity. This inconsistency not only affects patient outcomes but can also lead to missed treatment opportunities, rework, and compliance issues.

Overjet addresses this challenge with cutting-edge, FDA-cleared artificial intelligence that enhances radiographic interpretation in real time. The platform is the only dental AI solution cleared for both caries detection and bone level measurement, making it uniquely equipped to support consistent diagnostic accuracy across all providers.

By analyzing bitewings and periapicals instantly, Overjet overlays AI-generated findings directly onto radiographs—highlighting areas of concern such as decay and bone loss. This empowers clinicians with objective, data-backed insights they can trust.

Key Benefits:

  • Fewer missed findings thanks to real-time analysis and pixel-level precision

  • Improved documentation that supports treatment justification and insurance compliance

  • Greater diagnostic confidence across providers, leading to more aligned care and fewer second opinions

With Overjet, diagnostic support is no longer subjective or siloed. It’s standardized, scalable, and always on, helping your team deliver higher-quality care with greater efficiency—regardless of provider experience or location.

2. Increase Case Acceptance with Visual Communication

One of the biggest barriers to treatment acceptance isn’t cost—it’s clarity. When patients don’t fully understand their diagnosis, they’re more likely to delay or decline care. Traditional explanations using technical jargon or grayscale X-rays often leave patients feeling confused or uncertain.

Overjet bridges that communication gap by transforming diagnostic data into clear, visual insights. With AI-powered annotations directly overlaid on radiographs, patients can see exactly where decay or bone loss exists—no guesswork, no ambiguity.

This visual context turns the diagnostic conversation into a collaborative, trust-building experience. Patients gain a clearer understanding of their condition, which empowers them to make informed decisions about their care.

Tangible Results from Overjet Users:

  • Improved patient comprehension, leading to more meaningful treatment discussions

  • Greater trust in provider recommendations, thanks to objective, visually supported evidence

  • 10–20% increase in case acceptance, especially during hygiene visits and preventive care planning

By showing rather than just telling, Overjet makes complex clinical information accessible—and actionable—for patients. This not only improves acceptance of necessary treatment but also enhances the overall patient experience.

In short, visual communication powered by AI is one of the most effective tools for turning hesitation into action—and Overjet makes it seamless.

3. Optimize Hygiene Visits for Greater Productivity

Hygiene visits are more than routine cleanings—they’re a critical opportunity to detect disease early and guide patients toward proactive treatment. However, in many practices, the full diagnostic potential of hygiene appointments is underutilized due to workflow delays or reliance on post-visit reviews.

Overjet transforms hygiene visits into high-impact, diagnosis-ready appointments by delivering real-time AI analysis during the exam. As radiographs are taken, Overjet instantly reviews them for signs of caries and bone loss, highlighting findings directly on the images with FDA-cleared precision.

This allows hygienists to identify potential treatment needs before the provider enters the room. By the time the handoff occurs, AI-powered insights are already available—streamlining collaboration and enabling same-day treatment discussions without back-and-forth or rechecks.

Measurable Benefits:

  • More productive hygiene visits, with treatment opportunities identified and presented during the same appointment

  • Reduced diagnostic delays, eliminating the need to wait for follow-up reviews or second looks

  • Faster clinical decision-making, helping practices stay on schedule while maximizing the value of each visit

With Overjet, hygiene exams become more efficient, more clinically valuable, and more aligned with modern patient expectations. Your team gets more done—without doing more work—and your patients leave feeling confident and informed.

4. Streamline Operations and Reduce Chair Time

Efficiency is one of the most valuable assets in any dental practice. With rising patient volume and increasing pressure on schedules, practices need to optimize every moment in the operatory—without compromising quality of care. Dental AI is now one of the most effective ways to achieve that balance.

Overjet significantly streamlines diagnostic workflows by automating radiographic analysis. Instead of relying on manual measurements or time-consuming image reviews, Overjet uses FDA-cleared AI to instantly detect caries and quantify bone levels, overlaying those insights directly on the radiograph.

This automation reduces the need for provider rechecks, back-and-forth consultations, or lengthy interpretation discussions. Clinical handoffs become smoother, and treatment planning begins sooner—often within the same visit.

Operational Advantages with Overjet:

  • Shorter, more efficient appointments, with diagnostics completed in real time

  • Fewer second opinions and re-evaluations, as AI provides objective, consistent insights

  • More time for patient engagement, education, and relationship-building

By cutting down on diagnostic bottlenecks, Overjet helps teams stay on schedule while delivering high-quality care. That means more appointments per day, greater provider satisfaction, and a better experience for patients—who appreciate both the speed and transparency of their care.

With Overjet, efficiency isn’t just about saving time—it’s about using time more effectively at every stage of the visit.

5. Build Patient Trust and Retention

In today’s competitive dental landscape, patient loyalty is built on more than just clinical outcomes—it depends on transparency, communication, and a sense of partnership in care. Modern patients value practices that are not only efficient, but also technology-forward and easy to understand.

Overjet plays a key role in creating that trust by turning complex diagnostics into clear, visual conversations. With AI-generated overlays that highlight decay or bone loss directly on the X-ray, patients no longer have to take a provider’s word for it—they can see the issue for themselves. This leads to more meaningful discussions, stronger engagement, and a deeper sense of trust.

Retention-Driving Benefits of Overjet:

  • Clearer Communication: Visual evidence makes it easier for patients to understand their diagnosis and why treatment is needed.

  • Stronger Compliance: Informed patients are more likely to follow through with treatment and preventive care.

  • Greater Satisfaction: Transparency builds confidence, which leads to better experiences, more referrals, and positive online reviews.

Patients who feel confident in their diagnosis and included in the decision-making process are far more likely to return for future care—and to recommend your practice to others.

By incorporating Overjet into your workflow, you’re not just improving diagnostics—you’re delivering a more transparent, engaging, and trustworthy patient experience that drives long-term loyalty.

6. Scale with Confidence Across Locations

As dental support organizations (DSOs) and multi-location practices grow, so does the complexity of maintaining consistent clinical standards across teams. Variability in diagnostics, documentation, and care delivery can create gaps in quality, reduce efficiency, and impact patient trust.
