Strategic partnership accelerates AI-driven diagnostic support to 1,100 dental offices nationwide in just six weeks.
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VideaHealth, the leading dental AI platform, and Aspen Dental Management, Inc., one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing dental support organizations, today announced a successful six-week rollout of VideaAI into every Aspen Dental practice. Building on the successful nationwide rollout of VideaHealth’s Clinical Assist platform, the partnership is one of the largest AI implementations in dentistry to date, marking the next phase of transforming chairside care. For patients, this means more efficient visits, better understanding of treatment options, and the potential to reduce the need for return visits, improving the quality of care.
“Dentistry is entering a period of rapid change,” said Florian Hillen, CEO and founder of VideaHealth. “Clinicians are expected to do more in less time while maintaining accuracy, empathy, and operational efficiency. Our work with Aspen Dental brings AI directly into that equation, helping teams detect disease earlier, communicate clearly with patients, and manage their day with greater confidence and efficiency.”
“Aspen Dental is on a mission to become the first AI-native dental network in the world, and that means giving our doctors and practice owners cutting-edge technology that truly changes what’s possible,” said Bob Fontana, Chairman and CEO of Aspen Dental. “Partnering with VideaHealth isn’t just about adding another tool; it’s about reimagining how care is delivered end-to-end. When AI helps our teams see more, communicate more clearly, and focus more time on patients, everyone wins: the doctor, the practice, and most importantly, the patient.”
Aspen Dental chose VideaAI after a successful office pilot that showed clear value for both clinicians and patients – surfacing preventive care needs sooner and sparing patients from more invasive procedures. The rollout of VideaAI across all Aspen Dental locations, one of the largest AI implementations in dentistry, lays the groundwork for a broader pipeline of AI-powered innovations focused on better outcomes.
Aspen Dental Chairman and CEO Bob Fontana and Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Arwinder Judge are both founding members of VideaHealth’s AI Leadership Council, which convenes dental leaders from the nation’s most influential DSOs to help guide responsible adoption of AI across the dental industry.
Together, VideaHealth and Aspen Dental are setting a new standard for AI-powered dentistry. The collaboration focuses on scaling AI, continuous innovation, and developing intelligent tools that enhance diagnostic confidence, streamline documentation, and improve the provider and patient experience. This approach helps build trust and accelerate treatment planning.
With the rollout to its network of more than 1,100 offices now complete, Aspen Dental is addressing key disparities in dental care across urban, rural, and underserved communities, helping to close critical gaps and bring equitable oral health solutions to those who need it most.
Benefits to Patients
- Patients benefit from real-time diagnostic support, ensuring conditions are identified earlier and with greater precision, leading to quicker and more effective treatment plans.
- With AI-assisted visualizations, patients can easily see and understand their diagnoses through clear, chairside explanations, building trust and confidence in their treatment decisions.
Benefits for Clinicians
- VideaAI integrates directly into Aspen Dental’s existing ecosystem to provide real-time diagnostic support and consistent clinical documentation.
- Dentists can review images before an exam, use AI-assisted visualizations chairside, and guide patients through findings that are easy to see and understand.
Aspen Dental offices have already reported measurable benefits since adopting VideaAI, including more confident diagnostics, enhanced documentation accuracy, and increased same-day treatment acceptance. Aspen Dental pilot offices have seen a 12% jump in patients accepting recommended care, proof that clearer visuals and simpler explanations drive informed choices. This is most evident in recommendations for non-invasive treatment that can reverse early-stage cavities. By highlighting early decay in color right on the X-ray, VideaAI lets dentists catch issues sooner, helping patients opt for gentler care today and avoid more invasive and time-intensive procedures.
“Our collaboration is about more than scaling AI,” Hillen added. “It’s about shaping a smarter, more connected model of dentistry that restores time to clinicians, strengthens patient relationships, and paves the way for continuous innovation.”
