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:

  • Detect issues earlier
  • Plan complex procedures more precisely
  • Create custom restorations and surgical guides with in-house 3D printing

AI Assisted X Ray Analysis With Pearl

A Second Set of Expert Eyes on Your Radiographs

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.

What this means for you

Earlier detection

Small cavities, bone level changes, and early patterns can be identified before they become painful or expensive problems.

More visual clarity

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.

More consistent evaluations over time

Because your scans can be reviewed with the same AI assisted criteria at each visit, we can track changes in a more standardized way.

AI Guided Implant and All on X Surgical Planning

Plan the Surgery Before You Ever Sit in the Chair

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.

How it works

CBCT 3D imaging and digital scanning

We capture a three dimensional map of your jawbone and pair it with digital scans of your bite.

Virtual surgical planning

We plan implant position, angulation, and depth while identifying critical anatomy such as nerves and sinuses. This helps reduce surprises and increases predictability.

Restorative driven planning

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.

Why patients care

  • Greater safety — more predictable placement around important anatomy
  • More efficient surgery — better planning often means smoother procedures and reduced chair time
  • Better final function — your bite and chewing forces are designed to work correctly long term

In House 3D Printing

Custom Guides and Faster Turnaround for Complex Cases

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.

What we can produce in house

  • Surgical guides — custom printed guides help translate the digital plan to the mouth with highly controlled placement.
  • Models and prototypes — printed models help us verify fit and design before final fabrication.
  • Same day or rapid turn temporaries in select cases — depending on the case type and timeline, in house printing can help shorten delays and improve continuity of care.

Human Expertise Plus AI

Technology Supports the Doctor, It Does Not Replace the Doctor

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.

Who Benefits Most From Dental AI

Dental AI is valuable for many patients, but it is especially impactful for:

  • Patients with a history of cavities or gum issues who want earlier detection
  • Patients considering implants, All-on-4, or All-on-6 who want high predictability and safety
  • Patients with complex bite issues or failing dental work who need comprehensive planning
  • Patients who value transparency and want to visually understand what is happening

Dental AI and Modern Patient Education

What You See on Social Media Versus What Matters Clinically

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:

  • The planning
  • The diagnostics
  • The engineering of your final result

Our Dental AI systems and digital workflows support that behind the scenes precision so your results are not just beautiful, but predictable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pearl AI FDA cleared?

+

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.

Will AI replace dentists?

+

No. Dental AI supports clinical decision making, but your dentist remains responsible for diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcomes.

Does AI mean I will get unnecessary treatment?

+

The goal is the opposite. AI helps highlight areas for closer evaluation and discussion. Your dentist confirms findings clinically and explains options.

Does AI make implant surgery safer?

+

It can improve planning accuracy and predictability by supporting virtual mapping and guide-based workflows, especially when combined with CBCT imaging and digital scans.

Do you use AI for every patient?

+

We use AI supported imaging when clinically appropriate and when it improves your diagnostic clarity, planning, or communication.
