Exploring AI with Industry Experts
The dental world is evolving—and fast! In a recent webinar, we teamed up with Ann-Marie DePalma, CDA, RDH, MEd, to take a closer look at how AI is reshaping everything from patient communication to diagnostics and beyond.
Whether you’re a tech-savvy team already using dental AI tools or you’re just getting curious about what AI could mean for your practice, this presentation offered a practical, insightful look at where dental technology is headed and what you can do to keep up.
Highlights from the Discussion
In this engaging session, Ann-Marie brings her decades of experience in clinical hygiene and practice management consulting to the table, breaking down AI in a way that actually makes sense. From its historical roots to how machine learning and natural language processing work, we cover a wide range of foundational topics.
Then, our own Adrian Lefler dives into how My Social Practice is using AI to streamline marketing for dental practices—specifically through our custom-built AI assistant, Annie. Adrian demos how AI-powered web chat and phone agents are already increasing new patient appointments and reducing missed calls without overwhelming front-office teams.
We also preview our new eBook, co-authored with Ann-Marie, which expands on everything we covered during the event.
