Dental AI at 1 Smile Dental in Schererville
AI Powered Diagnosis, Surgical Planning, and 3D Printing for More Predictable Results
Most people hear “AI” and think of chatbots. That is not what we mean by Dental AI.
At 1 Smile Dental, Dental AI means using advanced, clinically proven software to improve accuracy in diagnosis, increase safety in implant planning, and deliver more predictable restorative outcomes. It is best described as a second set of expert eyes, paired with the experience and judgment of your doctor.
Our AI supported systems help us do three important things:
Dental X rays are incredibly valuable, but interpretation can vary based on angle, subtle findings, and even fatigue. That is why we use Pearl AI to assist in radiographic review.
Pearl AI does not replace the dentist. It supports your dentist by highlighting areas that require closer attention so we can have a clearer conversation about what we see and what it means for your care.
Small cavities, bone level changes, and early patterns can be identified before they become painful or expensive problems.
AI supported imaging allows us to show you what we are seeing. You are not just “taking our word for it” because you can view the highlighted areas alongside our explanation.
Because your scans can be reviewed with the same AI assisted criteria at each visit, we can track changes in a more standardized way.
Implant dentistry is measured in millimeters. Surgical planning is where outcomes are made.
We use AI supported planning tools in combination with CBCT 3D imaging to map anatomy and design your implant placement with precision. This is especially important for All-on-4, All-on-6, and complex implant bridges where bite function, bone density, and restorative design must align.
We capture a three dimensional map of your jawbone and pair it with digital scans of your bite.
We plan implant position, angulation, and depth while identifying critical anatomy such as nerves and sinuses. This helps reduce surprises and increases predictability.
We design placement based on where your final teeth need to be, not just where the bone happens to be. This is a major difference between basic implant placement and premium full arch planning.
3D printing is the physical output of digital planning. It turns the plan into a real world tool that improves precision.
At 1 Smile Dental, we use in house 3D printing for items that support accuracy, comfort, and speed, especially in implant cases and complex restorations.
A common concern patients have is whether AI is “making decisions.” It is not.
AI highlights data. Your doctor makes the diagnosis and the treatment plan. Think of it like modern aviation. Advanced navigation systems increase safety and precision, but the pilot is still in full control.
Our goal is simple: use the best tools available to improve outcomes, reduce uncertainty, and help you make informed decisions.
Dental AI is valuable for many patients, but it is especially impactful for:
Many patients discover advanced dentistry through social media. Meta platforms like Facebook and Instagram can be effective for services like Invisalign, veneers, and full arch implant cases because they allow you to see real transformations and hear real stories.
However, what truly matters is what happens behind the scenes:
Our Dental AI systems and digital workflows support that behind the scenes precision so your results are not just beautiful, but predictable.
If you want a clearer diagnosis, safer surgical planning, or a more predictable path to implants, veneers, or full arch restoration, we are here to help.

Pearl’s dental AI has FDA clearances for specific radiologic assist features. We use it as an assistive tool, not as a substitute for a dentist’s diagnosis.
No. Dental AI supports clinical decision making, but your dentist remains responsible for diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcomes.
The goal is the opposite. AI helps highlight areas for closer evaluation and discussion. Your dentist confirms findings clinically and explains options.
It can improve planning accuracy and predictability by supporting virtual mapping and guide-based workflows, especially when combined with CBCT imaging and digital scans.
We use AI supported imaging when clinically appropriate and when it improves your diagnostic clarity, planning, or communication.
