Dental AI ROI Calculator — See Your Time and Revenue Impact

This calculator uses ADA benchmark data for average documentation time (12–15 minutes per dentist appointment, 5–8 minutes per hygienist appointment) combined with OraCore’s verified 60–75% time savings rate. We use a conservative midpoint of 65% to ensure the outputs lean toward underestimating rather than overstating your savings. Your actual results will vary based on practice workflow, case complexity, and how fully the tool is adopted — but most practices find the estimates track closely to observed outcomes.

The calculator defaults to 7 minutes per dentist appointment and 20 minutes per hygienist appointment (hygienist time includes perio charting). These defaults are editable. If your team spends more or less time on notes, update the sliders to reflect your actual workflow and the calculator will recalculate instantly.

Yes — and most dental AI ROI tools don’t. Hygienists typically spend 5–8 minutes per appointment on clinical notes, which adds up to hundreds of hours per year for even a single-hygienist practice. OraCore Scribe supports hygienist documentation workflows, so we built hygienist time into the calculation from the start. Set the number of hygienists to 0 if you want to see dentist-only impact.

OraCore’s benchmark is a 60–75% reduction in documentation time, based on internal product data and customer feedback. The calculator uses 65% as the midpoint of that range.

Most solo practices reach breakeven within 2–4 months of adopting OraCore Scribe, based on the documented time savings and the practice’s hourly production value. Group practices and DSOs typically see faster payback due to scale — savings multiply across providers while the per-seat cost remains fixed. The calculator shows your personalized payback timeline in months based on your inputs.

No. The calculator scales for any practice size. Use the ‘Number of dentists’ and ‘Number of hygienists’ fields to reflect your full team. The outputs show both per-provider and total-team figures, making it equally useful for solo practitioners evaluating individual ROI and DSO administrators building a business case across multiple locations.
