A Single-Dentist Practice Uses AI Perio Charting, X-Ray Annotations and an AI Receptionist

Naples Dental Boutique's hygienist charts perio exams by voice without an assistant, AI annotations explain x-rays to patients, and an AI receptionist answers calls. Oryx reports perio production up 114% and per-patient production up 42%.

Explain it simply

A small dental office uses three AI features in its practice software. The hygienist speaks gum measurements aloud and the software fills in the chart, so no assistant has to take notes. AI marks up x-rays so patients can see the problem, and an AI receptionist answers the phone and saves call recordings to each patient's chart.

What was done

The practice moved from Dentrix to Oryx, a cloud practice-management system, and switched on its AI features when they launched in 2025.

The single hygienist dictates periodontal charting by voice, so no dental assistant is pulled in to take notes.

AI annotations on radiographs (through Oryx's Pearl integration) are used to show patients what the x-rays show.

An AI voice receptionist (through Mango Voice) answers calls, and call recordings are added to charts as progress notes.

How it went

Oryx reports perio production up 114% and average hygiene production per patient up 42%, collections up 63% over three years, and Dr. Klose able to run three chairs at once because an assistant isn't needed in every appointment.

  • This is Oryx's own case study, so it's promotional: Oryx sells the software.
  • The page dates the 114% figure two ways: "first six months of 2026" and the first six months of using the AI annotations.
  • The practice opened in 2023 as an effective startup, so growth figures mix AI effects with a young practice ramping up.
  • No figures are given for the AI receptionist beyond fewer missed calls.

Prompt

PromptWritten by our editors from the source
I run a [number]-chair dental practice on [practice software]. List the AI features it offers or integrates with for (1) voice perio charting, (2) radiograph annotations and (3) phone answering.

For each, tell me: what it changes in a one-hour hygiene appointment or at the front desk, what it costs if published, what patient data it stores and where, and what I should test in the first two weeks.

Say where you're unsure instead of guessing, and link the vendor pages you used.

Setup notes

  1. Pilot voice charting with one hygienist and compare charting time on a few appointments before rolling it out.
  2. Check where call recordings and annotations are stored and how they fit your patient-privacy obligations.

Business fit

Who this helps, and how:

  • Single-location dental practices: free the assistant from note-taking during perio exams.

    Local & service

  • Hygiene teams: use annotated x-rays to explain findings and support case acceptance.
