About this episode

Scott Leune discusses the evolution of AI in dental practices with Ophir Tanz, emphasizing its role as a foundational operating system.

Radiologic AI was just the beginning. In this episode, Scott sits down with Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl, to unpack how AI has evolved from a single feature into an entire layer running underneath the modern dental practice, handling everything from CBCT analysis and ambient charting to claims, insurance verification, and scheduling. They get into where this is headed next: a world where AI doesn't just assist your team, it becomes the operating system your practice runs on. If you haven't engaged with AI in your practice yet, this episode makes the case for why now, not later, is the moment to start.
