Pearl, a dental AI company, has launched Pearl Voice, an AI assistant for clinical documentation in dental practices. The system automatically captures and transcribes doctor-patient conversations during appointments, converting them into structured clinical documentation including SOAP notes and periodontal charts. The platform features ambient listening, voice-enabled perio charting and over 30 procedure-specific templates. It integrates directly with practice management systems, eliminating duplicate data entry. Pearl Voice also provides detailed clinical narratives to support practices against claim challenges and litigation. Early adopters report significant time savings. Dr Daniel Naysan of Bedford Dental Group said he saves at least 60 minutes daily whilst achieving cleaner, more standardised notes. The launch expands Pearl's AI platform beyond radiologic analysis to support broader clinical workflows.
Pearl introduces Ambient voice AI suite for dentistry. Pearl Voice turns doctor-patient conversations into structured clinical notes and chart-ready documentation, reducing administrative burden enabling clinicians to focus on quality care. April 8, 2026 LOS ANGELES - Pearl, the global leader in dental AI solutions, today announced Pearl Voice, an AI assistant for clinical documentation designed specifically for dental practices. Pearl Voice automatically captures and transcribes doctor-patient interactions during appointments and converts them into structured clinical documentation, including SOAP notes, periodontal charts and other dental-specific formats, helping providers maintain complete and accurate records in real-time. "Pearl Voice captures the clinical encounter as it happens, making the output, whether a doctor's notes on a patient visit or a hygienist's measurements in a perio exam, more complete and accurate." Documentation remains one of the most time-consuming aspects of dental practice. By automatically transforming chairside conversations into structured clinical notes, Pearl Voice allows dentists to stay focused on patient care while ensuring that clinical records are complete, compliant, and ready for practice management system (PMS) ingestion. "Scribing and charting are essential to high-quality care, but the manual documentation process pulls providers away from the patient and often extends the workday for clinicians," said Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl. "Pearl Voice captures the clinical encounter as it happens, making the output, whether a doctor's notes on a patient visit or a hygienist's measurements in a perio exam, more complete and accurate. The time savings is significant and dentists can reinvest time saved into patient communication and care, where their expertise matters most." Pearl Voice listens passively during appointments and intelligently synthesizes relevant clinical details in standardized formats used by dental providers and insurers. Key capabilities include: * Ambient Listening, Transcription and AI-Generated Clinical Notes: Captures and transcribes natural doctor-patient conversations, even as clinicians navigate between screens. Converts transcriptions into accurate and structured clinical notes for complete, consistent documentation. * Voice-Enabled Perio Charting: Charts perio measurements in real time based on spoken input from providers, eliminating the need for manual transcription by dental assistants. Hands-free voice commands allow quick update, corrections and navigation between teeth on the chart. * 30+ Procedure-Specific Templates: Pearl Voice applies customizable procedure templates to ensure that generated notes meet the specific documentary requirements and individual provider preferences for numerous clinical scenarios, including exams, fillings, crowns, scaling and root planing, root canals, and extractions. * Background Recording: The Pearl Voice widget ensures uninterrupted clinical workflows and documented patient interactions by continuing to record even as users navigate between screens. * Defense Against Claim Challenges and Litigation: Pearl Voice provides practices with detailed clinical narratives that support treatment decisions from "insufficient documentation" claims as well as malpractice suits or board audits. * Practice Management System Integration: Pearl Voice writes structured notes directly into supported practice management systems (PMS), eliminating duplicate entry and simplifying record management. By automating documentation, Pearl Voice helps dental providers reduce administrative workload while improving the consistency and quality of clinical records. Voice-enabled perio charting, for example, significantly streamlines the hygiene workflow, allowing providers to complete accurate, detailed periodontal exams faster and free dental assistants, who traditionally chart the hygienist's measurements manually, to focus on other crucial tasks. Early adopters report significant time savings and improved documentation standardization across providers. "The documentation workflow in our office has improved dramatically since implementing Pearl Voice," said Dr. Daniel Naysan, a dentist at Bedford Dental Group. "I'm saving at least 60 minutes a day and my notes are cleaner. They're also more standardized across my partners, so there's more fluid patient handoff between us and broadly better compliance with clinical documentation requirements." With Pearl Voice, Pearl continues to expand its AI platform beyond radiologic analysis to support clinical workflows across dental practices. By connecting diagnosis, documentation, and operational systems, Pearl is delivering integrated AI infrastructure that elevates care and patient experiences, while enabling more efficient, productive dentistry by reducing friction between clinical insight and administrative execution. "We see AI as the key to taking the friction out of the entire dental care journey, from initial diagnosis and documentation all the way through to treatment delivery," Tanz added. "Pearl Voice is a central part of the broader, smarter, and more efficient end-to-end AI platform we're building to empower better dentistry."
Pearl and RipeGlobal partner to transform dental excellence worldwide through ai-powered education and clinical intelligence. Integration provides global dental professionals with hands-on education and resources to effectively implement AI, elevate patient care, and optimize practice performance. April 2, 2026 Pearl, the global leader in dental AI solutions, and RipeGlobal, the internationally recognized leader in cloud-based, hands-on dental education, today announced a partnership empowering dental professionals with the knowledge and skills to effectively deploy AI technology in their practices. This partnership is in recognition of the need for modern dental education to incorporate AI.

"Integrating with Pearl allows us to help dentists not only understand AI technology, but also apply it in ways that elevate both the standard of care and the quality of their day-to-day operations." This partnership comes at a time when the dental industry is facing a critical challenge: While dental schools graduate competent clinicians, new dentists can only perform 6 percent of general dentistry procedures proficiently at graduation. This skills gap costs the industry billions in lost productivity and compromises patient care quality. The collaboration combines Pearl's expertise in AI-driven clinical innovation with RipeGlobal's proven educational model to help dentists and their teams learn how to apply AI to elevate diagnostic accuracy, optimize practice operations, and enhance the patient experience. Through the partnership, all new and existing Pearl subscribers will receive six months of complimentary access to RipeGlobal's premium educational features, enabling clinicians and staff to explore on-demand courses, live workshops, and community learning experiences focused on the effective use of AI in everyday practice. The partnership will be particularly impactful for multi-location and enterprise dental groups, which often attract early career clinicians and face the enduring challenge of delivering standardized care across multiple dental offices. By integrating Pearl's FDA-cleared diagnostic AI with RipeGlobal's DSO essentials DAPPr (Dental Associate PowerUp Program) platform, the two companies are creating an unprecedented pathway for DSOs to empower their teams to achieve elite performance levels even when staffing clinics with recent dental school graduates. "AI is transforming every aspect of dentistry from diagnosis and case presentation to patient communication and operational efficiency. Practitioners gain an outsized advantage by becoming fluent in AI; that AI fluency is what we are delivering with RipeGlobal," said Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl. "Our partnership with RipeGlobal creates a new standard where AI-enhanced diagnostics and elite training converge, ensuring that dental professionals everywhere can confidently adopt AI and transform both their performance and patient outcomes." RipeGlobal's immersive learning environment will serve as a foundation for equipping Pearl users and the wider dental community with the practical understanding necessary to integrate AI tools into clinical and administrative workflows. The initiative will include new courses and live education events centered on AI literacy, adoption strategies, and measurable outcomes in dental practice performance. "When it comes to AI, knowledge is the bridge between innovation and impact. To that end, this partnership represents a quantum leap in dental education technology," said Dr. Lincoln Harris, Founder and CEO of RipeGlobal. "Integrating with Pearl allows us to help dentists not only understand AI technology, but also apply it in ways that elevate both the standard of care and the quality of their day-to-day operations."

Pearl expands pediatric capabilities with Second Opinion(R) for Kids. Pearl, the global leader in dental AI solutions, today announced Second Opinion(R) for Kids, expanding the pediatric capabilities of its flagship radiologic AI platform. This launch marks a pivotal advancement in children's oral healthcare, introducing a new, kid-friendly interface that builds on Pearl's proven real-time disease detection capabilities. Building on Second Opinion's existing pediatric functionality - which helps dentists identify disease in patients as young as four, when treatment is simpler, less invasive, and more effective - Second Opinion for Kids further enhances communication between dentists, parents, and children to support more engaging and educational oral health discussions. Second Opinion for Kids reflects its commitment to delivering technology that empowers pediatric dentists to intervene earlier, communicate more clearly, and ultimately give children the best possible start to lifelong oral health. "Second Opinion for Kids reflects our commitment to delivering technology that empowers pediatric dentists to intervene earlier, communicate more clearly, and ultimately give children the best possible start to lifelong oral health," said Ophir Tanz, CEO of Pearl. "As the son of a dentist, I've understood from an early age how critical trust and early intervention are in shaping a child's experience with dentistry. With Second Opinion for Kids, we're helping dentists meet the clinical and emotional stakes of pediatric care at a time when proactive, evidence-based solutions are more important than ever." Pediatric dentistry plays a crucial role in establishing lifelong oral health, yet it presents unique challenges - from young patients' limited ability to communicate discomfort to the difficulty of earning their trust and cooperation in the chair. Early, accurate diagnosis and clear communication with both children and parents are essential to building those foundations. Second Opinion(R) for Kids supports that mission by giving dentists a more intuitive, engaging way to visualize and explain findings - helping to reduce anxiety, improve understanding, and foster positive oral health habits from an early age. Pearl's industry-leading Second Opinion(R) platform is an AI-powered, real-time radiologic detection aid that assists dentists by identifying conditions such as cavities, bone loss, and other dental abnormalities with greater accuracy and confidence. With Second Opinion(R), practitioners access AI-driven insights within their existing workflow, enhancing diagnostic precision and streamlining patient care. Pearl's pediatric care expansion comes at a time when preventative dental care for kids is under pressure. With the FDA removing ingestible fluoride products for children from the market, providers are losing a long-standing tool in the fight against decay. Pearl's AI offers a new way forward - strengthening diagnostic precision and helping providers safeguard the next generation's oral health. Thousands of practices across the country already rely on Second Opinion(R) to support more accurate, consistent diagnoses.
