Artificial Intelligence continues to make serious in-roads in the profession of dentistry. In the last 18-24 months, the field has exploded across the dental landscape reaching levels of adoption that exceed anything that I've seen previously. Usually there is an early adopter phase in the market that continues for a year so before the wave accelerates and a technology becomes mainstream. With AI, it seems to have burst through the starting gate and bypassed the early adopter phase, jumping straight to mass adoption.
As someone that follows the industry closely, this doesn't come as too much of a surprise. Integrating AI into a dental practice is simple, affordable (a small monthly fee for the service), and provides valuable information to the practice. It's probably helped that the subject of AI is everywhere in the mainstream news media. As a society, we are reading about and using AI in multiple aspects of our everyday lives... that tends to bring comfort to adopters.
Now comes word that independent dental distributor, Midwest Dental, has chosen to partner with Pearl to provide AI services to Midwest Dental clients. Here is the press release I recently received:
Pearl, the global leader in dental AI solutions, and Midwest Dental, one of the leading dental technology and supply distributors in the U.S., today announced Pearl as Midwest Dental’s preferred artificial intelligence (AI) solutions provider. Through the new partnership, Midwest Dental will now offer Pearl’s dental AI suite, including Second Opinion® and Practice Intelligence®, to its reach of customers throughout Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas.
Midwest Dental is one of America’s largest and fastest-growing family-owned distributor of dental supplies, equipment, technology and more.

“Since Midwest Dental’s founding more than 35 years ago, our overarching goal has been to provide our customers with the best products and services the dental industry has to offer,” said Midwest Dental Chief Operating Officer Tim Cluley. “Pearl is the best equipped partner to help us drive that mission forward and increase our customers’ access to the most advanced dental AI solutions on the market.”
Second Opinion® is the first and most powerful AI radiologic detection aid designed to read X-rays and deliver real-time radiologic findings for chairside case presentation and patient communication.
