By Dr Stephen Nkansah · UK-registered dentist · Founder, Dentistry Dashboard
Clarification Mode
AI asks structured follow-up questions (with tooth chart and chips) when unclear, before generating the note. Helps catch unclear details before the final note is created.
70+ languages
Dentistry Dashboard supports 70+ language families across 140+ locales, plus a second language for two-language consultations and any language on request.
Bundled clinical workspace
AI Notes plus Interactive Care Plans, patient education, questionnaires, clinical guides, voice perio charting, associate finances, your website and CPD tracker.
Where Dentistry Dashboard differs from Chairsyde
Chairsyde centres on patient communication: a Patient Pack with a patient letter, video treatment plan and consent form, 300+ treatment animations, and a widget beside Dentally and SOE Exact. Dentistry Dashboard starts with the clinical record: Clarification Mode, which asks you before it guesses, 70+ language families across 140+ locales, letter-style training, NHS and Trust clinical forms, the Direct Specialist Referral network, and Interactive Care Plans with fees and finance from the same consultation, plus patient education, questionnaires and clinical guides. If your priority is clinical documentation with patient communication built in, Dentistry Dashboard fits. If your priority is case-acceptance visuals, Chairsyde is worth a look.
