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 Dentally AI
Dentally AI is built into the Dentally PMS, so it is the lowest-friction option if your practice already uses Dentally, but it is only available there. Dentistry Dashboard works alongside any PMS, so associates who work across practices can use it everywhere. It adds Clarification Mode, which asks you before it guesses, 70+ language families across 140+ locales, and the rest of Dentist Zone: Interactive Care Plans, patient education, questionnaires, clinical guides, voice perio charting, finances and CPD, for £40.99 a month including VAT.
