Discover how AI-powered imaging boosts case acceptance by 40% and transforms patient education with Pearl AI's Jared PoVey. Mike Dinsio and Paula Quinn sit down with Jared Povey, Senior Partner Executive at Pearl AI, to explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing dental practice management and patient care.

• Why 35+ years of clinical experience still benefits from AI's second set of eyes
• How Pearl AI catches pathologies, fractures, and decay that human eyes miss—especially at 4 PM on Friday
• The critical difference between dentists who adopt AI versus those who get left behind
• Real-world implementation: training, team adoption, and integrating AI into daily workflow
