If you’re considering care at Strobel Family Dental, you may have heard that we use Pearl AI—a cutting-edge dental technology that supports our diagnostic process. Understandably, some patients have questions about what that means. Does AI decide your treatment? Is it safe? Will you still be cared for by a real dentist?
Let’s clear that up.
What is Pearl AI? An Overview of Dental AI Technology
Pearl AI helps us read and analyze dental x-rays with greater accuracy and consistency. It’s not here to replace dentists—it’s here to support them. Think of it as a second set of expert eyes that double-checks your images for signs of issues like gum disease, tooth decay, or the early stages of bone loss.
By spotting concerns early, we can create treatment plans that are more proactive and less invasive. For example, AI may help identify early signs of receding gums—long before you experience symptoms like sensitivity or visible gum shrinkage. Since receding gum causes can range from aggressive brushing to gum disease, identifying it early gives us more options to address the problem and preserve your oral health.
Everyday Dental Care Applications
At Strobel, we use Pearl AI as part of our diagnostic toolkit in a wide range of services:
- Implant Crowns & Partial Dentures: AI helps us evaluate bone structure and ensure the best possible fit and placement. This leads to better long-term success for restorations like implant crowns or partial dentures.
- Dental Bonding: For chips, cracks, or minor cosmetic concerns, dental bonding offers a fast and cost-effective solution. Pearl AI can assist in identifying hairline fractures or areas of concern to make bonding more precise and lasting.
- Routine Exams: Every time you get a dental x-ray, Pearl AI scans it alongside your dentist. This dual approach improves accuracy and reduces the chance of missed problems, especially those in hard-to-see areas.
Your Dentist Is Still in Charge
It’s important to remember: AI doesn’t make treatment decisions. Our licensed dentists do. Pearl AI simply gives our team more data, faster and with more clarity. It doesn’t replace the personalized care, conversation, or clinical experience that defines Strobel Family Dental.
You’ll still work directly with your provider to review your x-rays, talk through treatment options, and understand your choices. Pearl AI just helps make those discussions even more informed.
Safe, Secure, and Patient-Centered
We also know your health data is personal. Pearl AI is fully HIPAA-compliant, which means your dental records and images are protected under strict privacy laws. All your information remains securely within our practice and is never shared without your consent.
Modern Tools. Human Care.
AI is changing dentistry, but at Strobel Family Dental, it’s enhancing—not replacing—the personal care you count on. Pearl AI gives us tools to spot problems early, plan treatments like implant crowns or dental bonding with greater precision, and explain issues like receding gums more clearly than ever before.
If you’re ever unsure about how technology fits into your dental care, just ask. We’re here to make you feel confident—whether that means answering questions about partial dentures, discussing receding gum causes, or simply helping you understand your latest dental x-ray.
At Strobel, AI supports our work. But your care? That will always come from us.
