That’s why we continue investing in our dental assistants through expanded compensation, continuing education and clear pathways for career growth and leadership.

PDS Health continues to invest in growth models built around clinician leadership, patient understanding, and integrated care centered on the Mouth-Body Connection.

In a recent Q&A with Becker’s Dental Review, Dan Burke shared how de novo expansion in 2026, medical-dental integration, and advanced, proven technologies such as AI-supported imaging and saliva screening are helping create a more transparent and preventive approach to care.

As the industry moves beyond traditional roll-up models, integrated platforms that support clinical insight and clearer patient decisions will play an increasingly important role.

PDS Health has selected Pearl Inc as our enterprise AI partner to strengthen diagnostic support across our national dental network. Pearl’s FDA-cleared technology integrates into existing imaging workflows to support real-time radiologic review across both 2D radiographs and 3D CBCT imaging and deliver clearer clinical insight at scale.

With stronger image interpretation, clinicians can identify concerns earlier and guide more informed conversations with their patients. This enhanced clarity supports more proactive and personalized care planning and strengthens decision-making at the point of care.

Creating healthier, happier patients starts with informed care.

Thank you to everyone who connected with PDS Health at the 2026 Rocky Mountain Dental Convention in Denver.

In partnership with the Metropolitan Denver Dental Society, we sponsored the Diagnostic Testing Center space in the Expo Hall, creating an environment for hands-on learning and meaningful conversations around diagnostics, early detection, and integrated care.

RMDC 2026 was a valuable opportunity to support education and engage with clinicians and industry professionals on how clinical insight can translate into real-world application that improves patient outcomes. We appreciate the organizers and attendees who made this event so impactful.

Integrated care is no longer aspirational. It is shaping how clinicians deliver patient care today.

In 2025, PDS Health clinicians delivered more than 7.5 million patient visits nationwide. Integrated dental and medical health records in Epic gave clinicians a more complete view of patients’ health histories, strengthening earlier detection through chairside screenings such as blood pressure, aMMP-8 and HbA1c. Clinicians also completed more than 570,000 same-day CEREC CAD/CAM restorations, reflecting continued adoption of advanced, proven technologies that support efficient, precise care.

Progress across ownership and education continued as well. Eighty-three clinicians advanced into practice ownership through our model, reflecting sustained interest in a care environment supported by shared systems and coordinated teams. Academic collaborations with the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, the University of the Pacific, and Roseman University of Health Sciences expanded opportunities for training and exploration of connected care models.

Together, these data points signal a shift toward care models that reduce fragmentation and improve coordination, giving clinicians the insight needed to support healthier, happier patients through preventive, personalized care.
