Why Top Dental Schools Trust VideaHealth to Elevate Education and Care

In the evolving landscape of dental education, institutions face growing pressure to equip future clinicians with advanced technical capabilities and the ability to foster patient trust. That’s why leading academic dental centers are turning to VideaHealth—the most FDA-cleared dental AI platform on the market—to help them achieve both.

Whether you refer to it as a dental school clinic, dental teaching practice, or academic dental center, the need is the same: accurate diagnostics, better communication, and scalable learning environments. VideaHealth delivers on all three.

Clinically Proven and Educationally Ready

With 34 FDA-cleared indications (as per May 22, 2025), including pediatric models starting at age 3, VideaHealth has set the benchmark for clinically validated dental AI. Our platform is powered by one of the world's most extensive dental image datasets, continuously refined to support high-accuracy detection across caries, periodontal conditions, and restorative needs.

But what sets VideaHealth apart in academic settings? 

Our platform includes education-friendly interfaces that support instructor-led training, alongside patient-facing visuals that help students communicate findings clearly and effectively. These features are crucial for both learning and real-world readiness. As seen in private teaching practices like Brookline Dental Specialists, these features boost diagnostic confidence and build stronger patient-provider relationships.

“It was incredible how quickly the tool pointed out everything. I found it so much easier to finally understand what is going on,” shared a 35-year-old patient after experiencing VideaHealth's AI in action.

Beyond Detection: A Platform for Coaching & Consistency

In academic dental clinics, the goal isn’t just detection—it’s growth. Our VideaInsights platform provides program directors and faculty with data-driven visibility into clinical performance across all students and providers. By identifying trends and surfacing care gaps, schools can elevate standards, mentor more effectively, and track progression over time.

“VideaInsights gives us the ability to clearly identify dental issues and track how we’re addressing them,” said Dr. Mitch Ellingston, Chief Clinical Officer at Gen4 Dental Partners. “These features improve diagnostic accuracy and enable more timely scheduling, helping minimize patient complications.”

This structured feedback loop is compelling in educational settings, where consistency and calibration are key.

Designed for Minimal Disruption, Maximum Adoption

VideaHealth is built for seamless integration. While compatibility may vary by institution, we work with over 90% of the most common imaging and practice management platforms today, including a complete Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend embedment. Our approach ensures low-friction onboarding, allowing faculty and students to focus on care and learning rather than navigating clunky tech transitions.
