Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Dentistry - Mike Buckner
Course Description: This course is designed to equip dentists with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into their dental practices. Participants will explore various AI applications tailored to dentistry, understand their implications for patient care and practice management, and learn how to leverage these tools to enhance diagnosis, treatment planning, and overall patient experience. Through a combination of case studies, clinical examples and audience involved activities, participants will gain practical insights into implementing AI solutions in their day-to-day clinical workflows.
• Explore the evolving landscape of AI in dentistry, including its impact on the patient insurance process. Gain insights into how AI-driven tools and algorithms are revolutionizing insurance claims processing, fraud detection, and reimbursement optimization, and learn strategies for navigating this changing environment to streamline administrative workflows and maximize practice efficiency.
Mike has spent the last 12 years growing dental software technology companies that are designed to streamline office efficiency and increase overall production, while elevating the standard of care for your patients. He led business development and partner strategy for Solutionreach, back when offices were just starting to text patients to confirm appointments. He then helped grow Dental Intelligence, focusing on providing valuable insights to practices allowing them to focus on vital key performance indicators to improve overall practice health. He then joined Weave while it was in its infancy, leading partnership growth strategies. His most recent endeavor finds him as the Executive Vice President of Revenue at Pearl, the first company to bring Artificial Intelligence into the dental space with comprehensive FDA clearance to assist the clinicians and team members in reading and detecting pathologies in X-rays.
