How We Use Pearl AI to Support Your Dental Care
At Fallon Dental Arts we have started using an FDA cleared tool that will help us better analyze your dental radiographs in a way that is easier for the patients to understand.
🦷 What Is Pearl AI?
Pearl AI is a dental-specific artificial intelligence system designed to assist dentists when reviewing dental X-rays. Think of it as an extra set of highly trained eyes that helps us carefully analyze your images and highlight areas that may need attention.
Importantly, Pearl AI does not replace your dentist. Every diagnosis and treatment recommendation still comes from your care team. Pearl simply helps us be more thorough and precise.
🔍 How Pearl AI Helps During Your Visit
When we take dental X-rays, Pearl AI reviews the images alongside your dentist and may highlight areas such as:
Early signs of tooth decay
Treatable decay areas
Notable filling/crown margins
Changes in bone levels around teeth
Signs of infection or inflammation
Tartar buildup or other concerns
These highlights help us spot subtle changes that can sometimes be difficult to see, especially in early stages — when treatment is often simpler and more comfortable.
👀 What You’ll See as a Patient
One of the biggest benefits of Pearl AI is how clearly it allows us to show you what we’re seeing.
Instead of pointing to shadows or shapes on a grayscale X-ray, we can show you an image with clear visual markers that help explain:

What’s healthy
What we’re monitoring
What may need treatment
This makes it easier to understand your oral health and ask informed questions about your care.
For you, that means fewer surprises, more transparency, and care decisions that feel clear and well-explained.
🧠 A Tool That Supports Better Care — Not One That Makes Decisions
Pearl AI is a support tool, not an automated decision-maker. Dr. Fallon always reviews your X-rays personally, considers your symptoms, dental history, and clinical exam, and then discusses recommendations with you.
💙 Our Commitment to You
By using Pearl AI, we’re continuing our commitment to modern, thoughtful dentistry that prioritizes accuracy, patient education, and trust. We believe that when you understand your oral health clearly, you can feel more confident about the care you choose to have completed.
If you ever have questions about how we use technology like Pearl AI during your visit, we’re always happy to explain — just ask!
