New dental technology & artificial intelligence

Digital imaging, intraoral scans and computer-assisted design can support dental assessment and restoration planning. These are different tools with different purposes; more technology is not automatically better care for every patient.

How AI may be used

Some FDA-cleared software helps dental professionals identify or measure features on certain images. Its authorized use is specific to the device. AI can miss findings or flag things incorrectly; the dentist must interpret results with your examination and history.

Questions for a technology consultation

What clinical question will this tool help answer?
Is imaging necessary for my situation?
How will the result affect my treatment choices?
Who reviews any AI findings?
Where will images and personal data be stored?

This is an overview of the field, not a claim that Hollywood Smile NY uses every tool mentioned. A phone photo or public chatbot cannot rule out decay or replace an examination.
