PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DentScribe has exciting news to share. We’ve added two industry heavyweights to our advisory board: renowned dental tech pioneer Dr. Edward Zuckerberg and seasoned medtech executive Akhil Deshpande. Their joining is a huge vote of confidence in our mission to reinvent dental practice with AI.

Dr. Edward Zuckerberg: “DentScribe is invaluable. It enables dental offices to get maximum value from each patient.”

Who is Dr. Edward Zuckerberg?

If the name sounds familiar, you’re not mistaken. Dr. Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S., F.A.G.D. has been a visionary force in dentistry and is the father of Facebook’s founder. He’s often called “Painless Dr. Z” for his early adoption of cutting-edge technology in his practice, including digital x-rays in the ’80s and paperless records. He has spent over four decades showing how technology can improve dentistry for both patients and providers.

In his own words, Dr. Zuckerberg explains why he is excited about DentScribe: “DentScribe is an invaluable tool for dental offices and groups of all sizes. The ability to use AI to transcribe conversations and create excellent notes for easy syncing with the PMS makes it a winner,” Zuckerberg said. “But DentScribe also finds treatments that were planned but never scheduled, enabling offices to get maximum value from each patient. Too many dentists chase new patients while letting needed care for existing patients slip through the cracks.”

Who is Akhil Deshpande?

We’re equally thrilled to have Akhil Deshpande on board. He is a superstar in the world of medical technology. He currently is Vice President of Health Systems and Portfolio Marketing at Exact Sciences, and formerly Head of Product Strategy for Medical Devices at Google’s life sciences arm, Verily. Akhil has driven innovation at big names like Align Technology, makers of Invisalign and iTero, Abbott, and Medtronic. He’s a guru in AI/ML and digital health solutions with over 20 years of experience.

Deshpande was excited about DentScribe. “It sets a new standard in dental tech. DentScribe’s incredibly accurate, deeply integrated SOAP note generator is unlike anything I’ve seen. But what really excites me is DentScribe CoPilot. It turns everyday clinical notes into real-time checklists for revenue opportunities right at the chair. And with GPS dashboards giving practice-wide production insights, DentScribe isn’t just about efficiency; it directly drives growth and better patient outcomes.”

DentScribe’s Four Superpowers

These experts are enthusiastic about DentScribe because it offers four AI-powered “superpowers” that no other dental platform provides:

Hands-Free Notes: DentScribe uses AI to listen to your chairside conversations and instantly produces comprehensive SOAP notes. Those notes go straight into your practice management system (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, etc.) with one tap.
DentScribe CoPilot: This smart assistant analyzes your SOAP notes in real time and generates a tailored checklist for each patient visit. It flags any treatment that was discussed but hasn’t been completed yet, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
DentScribe GPS Dashboard: Our Guided Production System (GPS) is like a bird’s-eye view of your practice’s opportunities and performance, updated in real time. It aggregates all those AI-generated notes and insights to show you things like unscheduled treatments, overdue patient follow-ups, and revenue opportunities.
Seamless Integration: DentScribe was built to play nicely with all major practice management software. Whether you use Dentrix, Open Dental or Eaglesoft, DentScribe plugs right in, bringing AI benefits without adding IT headaches.

What This Means for DentScribe

Bringing Dr. Zuckerberg and Desphande into our advisory board is huge for DentScribe’s journey. It means we have two of the sharpest minds in dentistry and tech guiding our future developments. This partnership is only going to make DentScribe stronger, leading to more innovation and better tools for our customers.

As Dr. Ratinder Paul Singh Ahuja, Board Chair said, “We’re honored to have Dr. Z and Akhil on our side. They’ve built and scaled category-defining products. Together we’ll ship faster, grow smarter, and help every office turn SOAP notes into growth.”
