What Patients Really Need to Know About AI in Their Dental

By Brad Hutchison, CEO & Founder, OraCore AI
Patients need a clear explanation, not a technology pitch
Patients need to know what the practice is using, why it is used, what information it handles, who can access it, and whether a person reviews the result.
We use a documentation tool to capture the conversation and prepare a draft of the visit note. Our clinical team reviews the draft before it becomes part of your record. I can explain what is captured and answer questions before we begin.
Keep the clinical team visible
The software assists with documentation. It does not replace the dentist, make the clinical decision, or approve the final record. Consent and legal requirements depend on the jurisdiction and workflow.
