Clarification Mode
Only us. AI asks structured follow-up questions (with tooth chart and chips) when unclear, before generating the note. Catches errors Chairsyde would miss.
70+ languages
70+ language families across 140+ locales (manually selected from settings) - and any language on request. Chairsyde is English-only.
Bundled clinical workspace
AI Notes plus Treatment Plans, Patient Packs, Patient Media, Associate Finances, Portfolio, HR/CPD, Voice Perio Charting. Chairsyde is notes-only.
Why dentists switch from Chairsyde
Chairsyde is primarily a patient communication and case-acceptance tool that happens to include consultation transcription. Its main value is in patient-facing visual education. Dentistry Dashboard is built differently: a clinical-first AI scribe with Clarification Mode for documentation accuracy, multilingual support across 70+ language families and 140+ locales (any language on request), Letter Writing Style training, Direct Specialist Referral network, and treatment plans + patient packs + hospital proforma generated in the same workflow as the clinical note. If your priority is robust clinical documentation, Dentistry Dashboard wins. If your priority is patient case-acceptance visuals, Chairsyde wins.
