More than 90% of patients now want AI-assisted dental visits due to increased trust and transparency
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Leading dental support organization (DSO) 42 North Dental announced today that its use of VideaHealth’s dental AI technology has had a clear, measurable impact on clinical treatment for every practice using VideaAI. As the largest dental support organization in the Northeast, 42 North Dental-supported practices treat hundreds of thousands of patients per year across 100+ locations. Patient data shows that 90% of those who received diagnoses backed by VideaAI want to only receive care at practices that leverage VideaHealth’s artificial intelligence (AI)
“We recognized that dental AI has the potential to transform dentistry itself, and VideaHealth is the clear leader – offering the best product and partnership in the market. VideaHealth’s dental AI, through early disease detection, helps improve patient lives and achieve better clinical outcomes by providing earlier and more minimally invasive care. 42 North Dental is committed to a culture of quality, safety and efficiency, and VideaHealth’s dental AI helps us achieve these goals with every patient interaction,” said Dr. Michael Scialabba, DDS, chief clinical officer at 42 North Dental. He continues, “What VideaHealth can do is provide a secondary, independent opinion for the patient. And that helps build trust with the doctor. Because at the end of the day, what’s most important is that trust between patient and doctor. That relationship is sacred.”
The 42 North Dental clinical evaluation process is stringent and continuous, with dentists from all geographies and specialties setting the clinical standards that practices want to achieve and choosing the best solutions to adhere to them. Dentists across the 42 North Dental practices are already diagnosing early-stage decay and disease at two times the rate prior to integrating VideaAI, and seeing the rate of treatment acceptance increase from 30% to 90%.
Florian Hillen, CEO and founder of VideaHealth said, “42 North Dental’s commitment to delivering the best dental care to all patients, in every situation, starts at the top and permeates the whole organization. Their decision to deploy VideaAI is a testament to their vision.” He added, “Better care is always the goal, and clinicians aided by AI truly drive better outcomes.”
