Over the last two years the dental AI market sorted itself along distribution lines. VideaHealth powers the AI built into Dentrix ("Dentrix Detect AI"). Pearl is built into Eaglesoft's imaging and into Dentsply Sirona's DS Core. DEXIS ships its own AI inside DTX Studio. So before comparing features, look at what's already wired into the software you run — then decide whether a premium tool like Overjet, or a value tool like Denti.AI, earns its place on top.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE: Below shows the approximate cost of AI tools for dental offices. Click the category tabs at the top of this page (X-ray & Imaging AI, Voice & Clinical Notes, Front Office & Phones, Insurance & Billing) to see a full breakdown of each category and the last tab (Best Fit for Your Software) to see recommendations for your current setup.
Flags caries, bone loss, calculus and more on the X-rays you already take, and turns findings into visuals patients understand. The most FDA-regulated category.
Hands-free perio charting and AI-written clinical notes. The whole game is whether it writes directly into your chart or makes you copy-paste.
AI receptionists that answer 24/7 and book straight into your schedule, plus call analytics that show which calls your team is missing.
Eligibility and full benefits breakdowns before the patient sits down; claims, posting and AR follow-up behind the scenes.
1. "Integrates with your PMS" has four different meanings. Native (built into the software), authorized integration (writes data directly in), sync (reads a copy of your data), and copy-paste (an overlay). Every grid in this review labels which one a vendor offers, and it's the single most important question to pressure-test in a demo.
2. Most pricing is quote-only. Where a price is published we've marked it Published; street prices from reviews and user forums are marked Reported and should be confirmed with the vendor.
3. The big imaging AI vendors are becoming platforms. Overjet and Pearl now sell imaging + voice + insurance verification as suites. Consolidating with one can simplify vendors and earn bundle pricing... so, make sure you ask.
5. AI reads the same X-rays your insurer's AI reads. Overjet's engine also powers claim review for most of the ten largest dental payers. Documentation-quality AI findings increasingly matter on both sides of the claim.
Where they cover the same ground: every tool below detects caries, bone loss and calculus on your existing radiographs, overlays the findings chairside, and gives you patient-friendly visuals that lift case acceptance.
Where they differ: FDA clearance depth, whether they're built into your imaging software or bolted on, analytics, and price.
| Tool & What Makes it Different | Cost Structure | Dentrix | Eaglesoft | Open Dental | DEXIS / DTX | CS Imaging | Eaglesoft Imaging | Romexis | Sidexis 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Overjet
The only AI cleared to measure disease (mm bone loss, caries outlines), not just flag it. CBCT clearance (Dec 2025), its own imaging platform (IRIS), voice add-on. Premium, enterprise-leaning; also powers payer claim review.
|
Quote-only. ~$250–$500+/mo per location, larger deployments to ~$3,000/mo; 12-month commitment. Reported | Integrates | v15–23 | Integrates | DEXIS 9/10 | v6+ | v17–21.3 | Not listed | Yes |
|
Pearl — Second Opinion
Most FDA clearances in the category (up to 18 findings per image; first cleared for both 2D and 3D). Built into Eaglesoft Advanced Imaging (Patterson's chosen AI) and Dentsply Sirona DS Core. Practice Intelligence adds the strongest findings-to-revenue analytics.
|
Quote-only. Second Opinion ~$299/mo per location + ~$1,500 setup; Practice Intelligence ~$549/mo. Reported | Integrates | Native | Integrates | Yes | Yes | Native | Yes | DS Core |
|
VideaHealth
The engine behind Dentrix Detect AI (native in Dentrix & Ascend, sold by Henry Schein). Only FDA-cleared pediatric algorithm (ages 3+). Deepest DSO footprint (Aspen, Heartland). Added voice perio & notes in late 2025.
|
Quote-only; sold direct or as a Dentrix add-on. ~$79–$199/mo per chair figures circulate. Reported | Native | Integrates | Integrates | Yes | Yes | Yes | Not listed | Yes |
|
DEXIS DTXassist / DEXassist
AI built into the imaging software itself — no extra vendor, no cloud sync. Up to 14 findings on 2D intraoral images, plus CBCT tooth ID and nerve tracing on the 3D side. No practice analytics layer.
|
$2,388/yr subscription (≈$199/mo). Published Free for DTX Studio v3.4+ / DEXIS 10 users through May 31, 2026. | Bridge | Bridge | Bridge | Native | No | No | No | No |
|
Denti.AI
The value disruptor: real FDA clearances (detection on intraoral and panoramic; auto-charting) at openly published prices roughly 1/6th of the premium tier. Also sells voice perio, scribe and a receptionist.
|
Detect $49/mo per location; Detect + Auto-Chart $99/mo. Published | Integrates | Integrates | Integrates | Verify | Verify | Verify | Verify | Verify |
|
Diagnocat
The CBCT specialist — full radiology-style 3D reports in 4–6 minutes and automatic DICOM-to-STL segmentation for surgical guides. New to the US (cleared late 2025); no US PMS integrations yet.
|
Quote-only in the US; international tiers ~€129/mo (2D) and ~€249/mo (3D, capped CBCT reports). Reported | No | No | No | Upload | Upload | No | Upload | Upload |
QUICK TIP: Imaging tools other than DTXassist ingest images through a small installed service that syncs from your imaging database to the vendor's cloud; Diagnocat is manual/auto DICOM upload. "Upload" means it accepts the files but doesn't live inside that viewer. Compatibility lists per vendor and reseller pages, August 2026.
Where they cover the same ground: hands-free perio charting and AI-written clinical notes, so your hygienist doesn't need a second person calling out numbers.
Where they differ: whether the data lands directly in your chart or on your clipboard — and a major shift in 2025–26: the PMS vendors themselves (Henry Schein One, Curve, Planet DDS) built voice in natively, and both imaging AI giants bought or built voice products.
| Tool & What Makes it Different | Cost Structure | Dentrix | Eaglesoft | Open Dental |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Bola AI
The integration leader: voice perio, restorative charting and notes with authorized, real-time write-back into six PMSs. Distributed by both Henry Schein and Patterson. Working in ~20 minutes after install.
|
Quote-only, per location. Reported | Authorized | Authorized | Authorized |
|
Dentrix Voice / Ascend Voice (Henry Schein One)
Voice built directly into the Dentrix Ascend chart (Voice Notes + Voice Perio; ambient notes in the Accelerate tier). Desktop Dentrix has voice notes today with charting rolling out. No install, no third vendor.
|
Bundled into Ascend package tiers; desktop Dentrix Voice is contact-sales. Reported | Native | No | No |
|
Open Dental built-in voice perio
Command-based voice perio charting is included free in Open Dental's perio module. Not conversational AI, but a zero-cost starting point.
|
Free with Open Dental. Published | No | No | Native |
|
Overjet Voice
Ambient and script-free: listens to the visit, produces notes and perio charting, plus referral letters and 7-year audit-ready transcripts. From the DentalBee acquisition; rolling out across a 216-location DSO.
|
Quote-only; sold with the Overjet suite. Reported | Verify | Verify | Verify |
|
Pearl Voice
New April 2026: ambient notes with 30+ procedure templates and voice perio. Natural pairing if Pearl already runs your imaging AI (Eaglesoft / DS Core practices).
|
Quote-only. Reported | Verify | Verify | Verify |
|
Denti.AI Voice Perio + Scribe
Published pricing, iOS app, DSO audit dashboards, 10+ PMS list. Positions directly against Bola on price.
|
Voice Perio $99–$299/mo; Scribe $129–$399/mo, per location. Published | Integrates | Integrates | Integrates |
|
DentScribe.ai
Notes + voice perio + "CoPilot," which mines your notes for unscheduled treatment and builds a follow-up checklist. Claims direct publish into the PMS.
|
Quote-only. Reported | Claimed | Claimed | Claimed |
|
Avora
Ambient notes where every AI statement links back to the exact transcript moment (an audit trail against AI errors), plus case-presentation coaching.
|
Quote-only. Reported | Claimed | Claimed | Claimed |
|
DigitalTCO
Notes, referral letters and consent forms from one dictation, with real-time medicolegal flags. Works with any PMS — but by copy-paste only.
|
$120/mo, unlimited notes, single tier. Published | Copy-paste | Copy-paste | Copy-paste |
QUICK TIP: "Authorized" means the PMS maker formally sanctions the integration (Bola is an authorized partner of both Henry Schein One and Patterson). For anything marked Verify or Claimed, make write-back the first thing you test in a demo — on your own chart, not theirs.
Where they cover the same ground: every tool here catches the calls your front desk can't... answering or texting back 24/7 and booking patients into open slots.
Where they differ: voice agent vs. text agent, call analytics depth, whether it replaces your phone system, and how directly it writes into your schedule. This category consolidated fast: Weave bought TrueLark, and the incumbent platforms all released AI receptionists in 2026.
| Tool & What Makes it Different | Cost Structure | Dentrix | Eaglesoft | Open Dental |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Arini
Pure-play AI phone receptionist. Real-time schedule read/write documented through the official Dentrix API; deployment engineers for groups. Claims 68% booking conversion. Keeps your existing phone system.
|
Quote-only, tiered by interaction volume. Category runs ~$250–$1,200/mo per location. Reported | Real-time | Yes | Yes |
|
Weave AI Receptionist (+ TrueLark)
Weave owns the phone line itself, so AI + telephony + payments are one vendor. Early access is specifically for Dentrix, Eaglesoft and Open Dental, with 25% off through 2026. TrueLark powers best-in-class text-back booking.
|
Not published; core Weave bundle ~$400–$700/mo per location, AI Receptionist priced separately. Reported | Early access | Early access | Early access |
|
Dental Intelligence AI Receptionist
Voice agent on top of a mature analytics platform (July 2026). Verifies patient identity by PIN, quotes balances and hygiene due dates, texts secure payment links, answers in-network questions.
|
Add-on to the DI Engagement module; quote-only. Reported | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|
Peerlogic
The call-intelligence specialist: transcription, call scoring, missed-opportunity detection across locations — with "Aimee," its AI voice agent, at the top tier. Published tiers are rare in this category.
|
$199 / $399 / $699 per location/mo (Aimee in the $699 Premium tier). Published | Sync | Sync | Sync |
|
Viva AI
Most transparent pricing in the category; 100+ languages with mid-call switching; SOC 2 Type II. Gold tier keeps your phones; Platinum/Diamond replace the phone system.
|
$349 / $899 / $1,199 per location/mo + usage credits. Published | Verify | Verify | Verify |
|
RevenueWell AI Receptionist
Standalone since April 2026 (no platform lock-in). Optional staff-review-before-booking workflow, English + Spanish, collects missing insurance info by text and phone. 30-day trial.
|
Quote-only; free 30-day trial. Reported | Verify | Verify | Verify |
QUICK TIP: Watch for per-call or per-credit metering on top of the monthly fee. The cost structure could cause a busy office to double its bill. And test the AI on your own worst call type (insurance questions from an existing patient) before signing.
Where they cover the same ground: everyone here chases the same two hours a day your team spends on payer portals and hold music — verifying eligibility and benefits before the patient arrives, then working claims and AR after.
Where they differ: pure software vs. AI-plus-humans service, and whether verified benefits land in your PMS fields or in a PDF.
| Tool & What Makes it Different | Cost Structure | Dentrix | Eaglesoft | Open Dental |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Zuub
Real-time verification with direct connections to 350+ carriers and documented field-level write-back into Open Dental. API-first — increasingly the plumbing other dental software buys.
|
Subscription per location; ~$299–$349/mo. Reported | Maturing | Yes | Write-back |
|
Verrific (VeriSmart)
Software plus a human verification team for the gaps. Published pricing and a free 2-week trial, no contract. Dentrix output is PDF-only — no field write-back there.
|
Software $299 setup + $299/mo unlimited; outsourced $9.95/full breakdown, $3.95 eligibility-only. Published | PDF only | Yes | Yes |
|
Overjet Insurance Verification

|
Quote-only; part of the Overjet platform. Reported | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|

|
Quote-only; clearinghouse-style per-transaction pricing. Reported | Sync | Sync | Sync |
|

Full outsourced revenue cycle run by AI agents plus US-based billers — same-day benefit breakdowns, claims, posting, AR workdown. Raised $28M in 2025 on rapid growth.
|
Custom by practice size and volume. Reported | In your PMS | In your PMS | In your PMS |
|
eAssist + Copilot
The largest outsourced dental billing network, with an internal AI that scrubs claims and validates CDT coding before humans submit. Fully published pricing — rare for a service.
|
From $1,400/mo or 2.5–3.5% of insurance collections; verification $225–$825/mo tiered. Published | In your PMS | In your PMS | In your PMS |
|
Pearly
The patient-balance side: automated statement sequences, payment plans and membership billing with ledger-level, two-way PMS sync. Free pilot program.
|
Quote-only; $0 pilot to start. Reported | Ledger sync | Ledger sync | Ledger sync |
|
Toothy AI
The frontier: autonomous AI agents that verify benefits, submit claims and even place voice calls to payers. Y Combinator 2025 batch — promising, early, reference-check hard.
|
Quote-only. Reported | Verify | Verify | Verify |
QUICK TIP: The question that separates these tools in practice: "when you verify benefits... do the deductible, maximum and frequencies land in my PMS coverage fields, or in an attached PDF my team re-keys?"
Pick your practice management system and your imaging software. We'll show the combination (a top pick and an alternate for each category, with the reason why) that fights your setup the least.
