Course Syllabus
Your dental practice generates thousands of patient interactions, treatment plans, insurance claims, and marketing touchpoints every month. AI can’t drill a tooth — but it can write your treatment presentations, reduce claim denials, generate patient education content, and reclaim 10-15 hours per week from administrative tasks.
49% of dentists plan to increase their technology spending in the next two years, and AI-powered tools are leading the transformation. This course shows you exactly how to implement AI across every aspect of your practice — from the front desk to the operatory to your marketing.
