Advanced Dental Diagnostics in Provo, UT: Pearl AI, CBCT, and DIAGNOcam in Provo, UT

Advanced Dental Care in Provo uses three advanced dental diagnostic tools together: Pearl AI software provides a second read on bitewing and periapical X-rays, cone-beam CT (CBCT) delivers 3D imaging of bone, nerves, and sinuses for implants and endodontic planning, and DIAGNOcam uses infrared transillumination to detect early cavities between teeth without additional radiation. The dentist remains the decision maker on every finding.

FAQ

AI questions answered.

What patients ask when they hear we use AI.

  • What is 'advanced dental diagnostics'?
    Advanced dental diagnostics means layering more than one tool over the dentist's exam: digital X-rays, 3D cone-beam CT for complex planning, DIAGNOcam transillumination for early cavity screening, and Pearl AI software that provides a second computer-vision read on your 2D X-rays. A dentist still makes every clinical decision; the extra tools just reduce blind spots.
  • How does CBCT (cone-beam CT) help my dental care?
    Cone-beam CT shows your jaw, teeth, airway, nerves, and sinuses in 3D. We use it when a flat X-ray cannot answer the clinical question: implant planning, impacted teeth, airway screening, TMJ evaluation, and some endodontic cases. Doses are low and targeted; we only take CBCT when it will change the plan.
  • Is DIAGNOcam safe? Does it use radiation?
    No. DIAGNOcam uses safe infrared light transillumination to look between the teeth for early demineralization and cracks. There is no ionizing radiation. It is especially useful for pediatric and pregnant patients and for monitoring small lesions over time without repeated X-rays.
  • Does Pearl AI replace the dentist?
    No. Pearl Second Opinion is FDA-cleared software that flags possible findings on bitewing and periapical X-rays as a second pair of eyes. Your dentist still interprets every image, confirms or dismisses each finding, and discusses options with you. The AI never writes the treatment plan.
  • Is this in addition to my dentist?
    Yes. Pearl AI is a tool. It flags areas of interest. Your dentist makes every diagnosis and recommends treatment. Think of it as a second set of eyes, not a replacement.
  • Does it cost more?
    No. Pearl AI is included with your X-ray. No additional fee, no separate billing.
  • Is my data private?
    Yes. Pearl is FDA-cleared and HIPAA-compliant. Your radiographs are processed and not used to train external models without consent.
  • Does it ever find things my dentist missed?
    Occasionally. And that's the point. More often, it confirms what your dentist already saw and adds confidence to the diagnosis.
  • Why don't more practices use this?
    Cost and workflow integration. We invested in it because we believe early catch matters more than convenience for us.

INSURANCE & PAYMENT

Straight answers on cost and coverage.

The money question matters as much as the clinical one. Here is how it works at Advanced Dental Care.

  • Out-of-network, not out of reach

    We are out-of-network with dental plans, and you can still be seen here. Many PPO plans pay toward care at out-of-network offices.

  • We file the claim

    Our front desk submits your dental claims and helps with anything your insurance company asks for.

  • The number, in writing

    After the exam you get a written plan and cost. Nothing begins until you approve it.

  • Financing available

    CareCredit financing and in-house payment options can help spread out larger treatment.
