What Is Pearl AI?

Everything you need to know about Pearl®

How it fits into your visit

Nothing about your appointment changes. We take your routine digital X-rays, Pearl analyzes them instantly, and your dentist reviews the AI highlights alongside your history and exam. Then we walk through the images together, so you understand what’s healthy, what needs monitoring, and what steps—if any—make sense.

What it helps us see

Pearl is especially helpful for early tooth decay, changes in bone levels related to gum health, and recurrent decay around older fillings or crowns. It can also point out other small irregularities that deserve a closer clinical look.

Catch issues sooner:

Treat small problems before they become big ones.

See what we see:

Transparent, annotated images on-screen.

Make confident decisions:

AI + clinical expertise = clearer care plans.

Safety and privacy

AI never replaces your dentist’s judgment—it supports it. Images are handled under our standard privacy and security practices, and any recommended care is discussed and confirmed by your dentist.

Who benefits most

New patients establishing a baseline, anyone monitoring gum and bone health, and patients planning restorative or cosmetic work—such as implants, veneers, or bonding—often find the added clarity especially useful.
