Tri-State DSO Dental365 Taps Dental AI Pioneer Pearl for AI-Powered Clinical Care Optimization

Pearl’s Practice Intelligence, which applies AI to evaluate the clinical performance of dental practices, will be integrated across all 61 Dental365 locations.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 5th, 2021Pearl, the leader in dental AI and computer vision solutions for efficiency, accuracy, transparency and patient care, today announced a partnership with Dental365, the tri-state market’s preeminent branded retail dental provider.

Since its launch 6 years ago, Dental365 has established itself among the dental industry’s earliest adopters of advanced dental technologies and materials. The company, which is expanding rapidly, has applied the industry’s state of the art technology to bring greater access to high-quality, affordable and convenient dental services to patients at 61 locations across New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. It has tapped Pearl to help support that effort with group-wide integration of Pearl’s clinical performance management AI solution, Practice Intelligence.

Merging evidence in patient radiographs detected by Pearl’s AI diagnostic engine with the treatment data from a practice management system (PMS), Practice Intelligence offers dental practices an array of data-backed clinical insights. DSO clinicians, managers, and office personnel can apply those insights to inform treatment, training, staffing and procurement decisions that enable practices to ensure consistent optimal patient health outcomes.

“For some time now, digital technologies have been the prime catalyst for advances in dental care, and Pearl’s technology is among the most impressive we’ve encountered yet.” said Dr. Scott Asnis, CEO of Dental365. “Incorporating their AI into our offices bring us closer to establishing a Dental365 signature standard of care, where patients coming into one of our offices know not only that they’ll receive the highest quality care possible, but also that they’ll receive that level of care regardless of which location they visit or what doctor is treating them.”

Because it assesses clinical performance at both the individual patient and patient-population level, Practice Intelligence gives dental practices an unprecedented ability to identify isolated details, like the periodontal condition of a specific patient, and larger trends, like consistency of care across patients, practitioners and offices.

Pearl’s founder and CEO, Ophir Tanz, says that while Practice Intelligence operates invisibly in the background, patients returning to Dental365 offices will feel its immense impact .

“Practice Intelligence delivers significant and immediate clinical and financial benefits to practices of any size and technical capacity.” explained Tanz. “In the hands of a group as technologically progressive as Dental365, it is profoundly transformative. We welcome the opportunity to help them apply our AI insights to optimize the Dental365 patient experience.”

Dental365’s CEO Speaks to Group Dentistry Now about One of the Most Influential Senses: Scent

New Hyde Park, NY – Dr. Scott Asnis, founder and CEO of Dental365 was recently interviewed for an article to be published in Group Dentistry Now. The article discusses how Dental365 incorporates a custom scent in their offices as an element to maximize the patient experience and how the use of scent has had a positive impact on the growth of their dental practice.

In the article, Dr. Asnis shares how patient experience starts with the scent as soon as patients arrive at their dental offices. Using the same science as brands like Apple and Mercedes, Dental365 has found they can use scent to develop positive emotions and embed their incredible patient experience to memory. Unlike other DSO’s, they understand that scent is our most influential sense and that it translates directly to our emotional brain. Adding a specific scent to the office has shown to increase one’s perception of quality, safety, and luxury.

Dental365, partnered with Daniel Zimmon and his company, NatScent to create a scent that is welcoming and calming to patients. Dr. Asnis’s goal in the scent design was “a calm, feel-good aroma that evokes cleanliness and safety. Not sweet or spa-like, but something welcoming and calming.” When it comes to the exclusive scent at Dental365 offices, the DSO receives several compliments per day per practice. The custom fragrance in all of their locations is an important factor in Dental365’s excellent patient experience because it creates a powerful memory of the thorough, gentle care provided at Dental365.
