AI Diagnostic Choice
For Dentrix Ascend practices ready to make AI a core part of diagnosis, not a tool they toggle between systems, our AI imaging workflow natively embeds FDA-cleared AI in Ascend and gives you a true choice of engine: Detect AI powered by Videa, or Second OpinionĀ® by Pearl.
Sharper insights. Stronger care.
With AI imaging analysis built into Ascend, you can catch problems early, explain findings clearly, and create treatment plans patients are more likely to accept.
How It Works
AI-powered image analysis
Real-time AI runs automatically in Ascend as X-rays are captured, instantly highlighting potential areas of decay using clear color-coded overlays. No extra steps, portal, or uploads required.
Standardized diagnostic consistency
Reduce provider variability, catch early-stage decay and support cleaner claims at scale with FDA-cleared AI analysis that works where you already do.
Magnified AI-flagged areas
Make every finding easier for patients to see with Magnify, a feature that zooms into AI-flagged areas for a crisp, detailed view clinicians trust and patients understand.
Detect AI Profitability Calculator
Detect AI integrates FDA-approved artificial intelligence directly into Ascend imaging to enhance X-ray analysis and caries detection.
Use this calculator to estimate how Detect AI can impact your caries detection rates, ROI, and how quickly this powerful tool can pay for itself.
What our customers are saying
AI-native is the new standard
Videa and Pearl clinical AI are both built into Ascend, so practices can choose the AI that fits them best. Your software shouldn’t dictate your AI strategy. Ascend gives you the choice.
