No drills and AI?!
At Brightside, we’re not a practice to rest on our laurels – we’re always exploring the latest advances in dental treatments and technology, with the aim of always enhancing your care and experience with us.
And today I’m excited to share two fantastic new additions we’ve introduced at the practice, both of which work beautifully together to offer smarter, gentler, and more confident dentistry.
1) Pearl AI Second Opinion
First up is Pearl AI, a cutting-edge diagnostic support tool that uses artificial intelligence to review dental X-rays.
When we take your X-rays, Pearl AI provides a “second opinion” by analysing them in real-time, highlighting areas of concern such as early signs of decay, bone loss, or other dental issues.
It helps back up what your dentist sees with powerful, AI-enhanced insight. It’s not replacing our clinical judgement; it’s supporting it, giving us both a clearer picture, so we can make sure you get the treatment you need.
How Pearl AI helps you:
- More accurate and consistent diagnosis
- You can see what we see, with clear visuals on a TV screen that are easy to understand
- It helps us catch problems early – before they become more serious (or expensive!)
And following on from Pearl AI…
2) Curadont Repair – Heal, Don’t Drill
The second innovation is Curadont Repair, and it’s ideal for anyone a little nervous about dentistry, and drills especially, allowing us managing early tooth decay without the drill. Yes, you read that right – no drilling!
When decay is detected early (with the help of Pearl AI), Curadont means we may be able to heal the tooth rather than remove the decayed area and fill it.
It works by remineralising the enamel and stopping decay in its tracks, without the need for any anaesthetic or drilling.
What this means for you:
- No injection, no drilling – just simple, gentle care
- Stops cavities from progressing
- Preserves more of your natural tooth
- Can often be carried out at the same time as your dental check
- Inexpensive compared with traditional fillings
These two new tools work hand-in-hand: Pearl helps us spot tiny changes early, and Curadont gives us a drill-free way to treat them.
And as a patient, both of these can reduce stress during your visits, and help us with our calm and gentle approach. If you’d like to know more about Pearl AI or Curadont Repair – or you’d like to book an appointment to try them out – just click the button below:
