Course Offerings

Curious about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is showing up in dental practices but not sure where to start? This introduction course is designed to teach clinical dental professionals the basics of AI in a clear and practical way.

You will learn what AI is, how it works in simple terms, and how it's being used right now in dental diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient care. The course will guide you through real-life examples of AI tools used in radiograph analysis, charting, and even scheduling while highlighting how these tools support, not replace, your clinical expertise.

By the end of this course, you will feel more confident in understanding the role of AI, how to evaluate its benefits and limitations, and how to begin integrating it into your practice at your own pace. This is your first step toward embracing the future of dentistry.

Course Objectives
