In Chicago last week, I attended a press conference hosted by VELMENI® a company that is set to make a major splash in the dental industry. I sent out an Instagram post about the event (in case you missed it).
In the fall of 2024 I got a chance to get an impressive demo of the product on a Zoom meeting with the company. I found out about VELMENI® from my friend Dr. Dale Miles. Dr. Miles is a world renowned oral and maxillofacial radiologist and an incredible resource for me on all things dealing with radiology. He is consulting with the company and I can tell you that if he is involved, this system is going to incredible.
When I saw the demo, I was impressed. As most of you know, I'm all in on using AI for better diagnosis and treatment planning. However, the dental industry has really only seen AI being applied to 2D radiographs. I was aware that several companies were developing systems for 3D and I knew it was only a matter of time before this next big tech jump hit the industry.
I've seen demos of some other dental 3D AI systems, but the companies were not quite ready to enter the market. We are about to see that change dramatically and I'm confident that one of the major players in this space is going to be VELMENI®. Their 3D Verify™ product is pretty slick. I also like the business model of "pay per scan" so that anyone can use that portion of their product portfolio easily, affordably, and without a monthly fee to access it.
The company's CEO Mini Suri, is a very bright and driven lady. She's worked in AI for a significant amount of time. She started in the world of finance helping implement AI and also worked on the AI portion of Uber. That background gives her a great understanding of how this technology works 'under the hood'.
Today's post deals mainly with their 3D Verify™ product, but the company is developing a whole suite of products that is looking to take AI in dentistry to the next level. Be sure to remember this company because I'm sure you're going to be hearing a lot about them in the future.
VELMENI to Quality Control CBCT Scans for Implant Cases
VELMENI, a leader in artificial intelligence for dental imaging, debutED its 2D and groundbreaking 3D Verify™ technology at the Chicago Midwinter Dental Meeting. This AI-powered solution addresses a critical issue in CBCT imaging: Studies show that 60% of 3D images have errors, leading to workflow inefficiencies and expensive retakes.
VELMENI 3D Verify™ is the first AI imaging solution that validates CBCT scans in real time. Dentists catch errors immediately, streamline case planning, and improve clinical outcomes.
3D Verify helps prevent costly delays and ensures greater precision in implant placement.
“With 3D Verify, dentists no longer have to second-guess their CBCT images or deal with the inefficiencies of incorrect scans,” says Mini Suri, CEO and Founder of VELMENI. “Real-time verification gives clinicians confidence in their imaging and treatment planning.”
3D Verify is offered on a “pay-as-you-scan” model, making it accessible to all dentists regardless of volume. While the various VELMENI applications complement each other, 3D Verify is a standalone solution, providing flexibility for dental professionals.
“3D Verify has transformed my CBCT imaging process. Real-time verification helps me catch and fix issues instantly, eliminating errors, retakes, and frustration for my team and patients. It’s a game-changer for precise and efficient implant planning,” explains Maxine Feinberg, DDS and Chief Strategy Officer for VELMENI.
In addition to launching 3D Verify, VELMENI showcased its other AI-driven dental solutions, including:
- VELMENI EasyRiter® – a web-based decision support system that simplifies CBCT interpretation and makes it easy to generate detailed anatomical reports.
- VELMENI for Dentists® – An FDA-approved AI tool for analyzing 2D dental X-rays. The AI detects pathologies that even experienced clinicians miss.
- “As a follower of the latest advances in digital dentistry, I’m keeping my eye on VELMENI, watch, you will see,” says Ed Zuckerberg, DDS, renowned dentist and key advisor to VELMENI.
