Your best work happens chairside, not at the keyboard. But when notes are written up at the end of the day, from memory, details slip and admin eats into your evening.
Dentally now brings AI tools into your clinical notes. Record the visit as it happens, dictate your findings, or summarise the conversation in seconds into a structured draft for you to review as soon as the patient leaves surgery.
Every appointment now has its own clinical note in the clinical sidebar. Use it however suits you; record the conversation, dictate your findings or type straight into the note. Dentally uses your templates to structure the draft, so the note follows the way you already work.
Treatment item notes stay exactly where they are. Appointment notes sit alongside them, so treatment-specific detail is where you expect it, and the whole visit has a note of its own.
Some clinicians prefer to record the whole conversation. Others dictate as they go, or type straight into the note. Whichever you choose, Dentally can summarise what's captured into a draft built from your template, so you can switch between methods across the day depending on the appointment.
The draft is a starting point, not the final word. You review it, edit anything that needs changing, and select 'Complete' when you're happy. Nothing is final until you say so. If something needs amending later, you can add the change in the note, and the history is kept in the audit trail.
As a clinician running a busy practice, this means fewer loose ends. Notes are captured during the appointment rather than at the end of the day, and your task list shows which notes are still waiting for review.
All AI tools are free for a limited time. We'll share pricing early next year, so you can plan ahead while you try them out.
Please note: If you are an enterprise customer your will need to get in touch with your account manager to find out more about enabling AI tools for your practice.
Clinical AI is only useful if clinicians and patients can trust it, so we've built our AI tools with compliance at the centre. Dentally's clinical AI notes are classified as a Class I medical device under UK MDR and soon under EU MDR (2017/745).
Transcripts are kept in the audit trail, audio is never stored and patient data isn't used to train third-party AI models. Data is hosted in AWS Europe for UK and Irish practices.
Before the first recording with each patient, Dentally asks you, the clinician, to confirm they've agreed. That confirmation lasts six months and is logged in the audit history. You still need to tell the patient verbally. The AI is a documentation tool only. It doesn't make clinical decisions or recommend treatment, and you're always the author of the final note.

This is the next step in clinical charting simplified, and there's more on the way. We're exploring voice-led perio charting, tooth-first charting, and ways to turn your notes into patient summaries and further correspondence.
See what's coming in our latest Your Next Chapter, where we show clinical charting simplified in action.
