AI in dentistry is supposedly here—but don’t worry, I’m still the one doing the art… the robot just helps with the math
🤔 8x faster. 🦷💨
This is not science fiction — it is real clinical technology.
A fully autonomous AI-driven dental robot has successfully completed a dental procedure by independently planning, guiding, and executing treatment using advanced imaging and artificial intelligence.
Developed by Perceptive, a Boston-based dental technology company backed by the dentist father of Mark Zuckerberg, the system combines AI-powered imaging software with a robotic dental arm to perform procedures with extreme accuracy.
The technology works by:
• Scanning the mouth in high-resolution 3D
• Mapping tooth structure with micron-level precision
• Performing treatment without direct human hand control
The result is dramatically faster dental care with consistent, high-precision outcomes.
This does not replace dentists.
It represents the next phase of dentistry — where AI enhances speed, accuracy, and consistency, while dentists remain essential for diagnosis, clinical judgment, ethics, and patient care.
Dentistry is moving toward AI-assisted clinical precision, and this technology marks a historic turning point.
