What Is Pearl AI? The First FDA-Cleared Dental AI Technology
Here's what makes Pearl AI so special. It's actually the first and only dental AI technology that the FDA has given the green light to for both regular X-rays and those fancy 3D scans we take. Pretty cool, right?
The way it works is really incredible. While we are looking at your X-rays or CBCT scans, Pearl AI is analyzing them in real time using these super-smart algorithms. It can spot tiny cavities, early bone loss, infections and other issues that are sometimes so small they are easy to miss even for experienced eyes like ours.
Now, don't worry because our specialists are still very much in charge of your care! This technology isn't replacing their expertise at all. Instead, it's like having an incredibly sharp second pair of eyes working alongside them to spot things as early as possible. It basically amplifies what Dr. Shin and Dr. Kim can already do so well, making sure we don't miss anything important.
The best part? We can give you faster and more accurate answers about what's going on in your mouth and we can catch potential problems when they are still small and easier to treat.

Why Prostho Endo Chose Pearl AI for Enhanced Patient Care
At Prostho Endo Dental Specialists, we believe in combining specialist-level expertise with cutting-edge technology to improve patient outcomes. After extensive research and evaluation, Pearl AI stood out as the clear choice for several compelling reasons.
The results speak for themselves because studies have shown that Pearl AI helps dentists catch up to 37% more issues on X-rays compared to what we might spot on our own. That's huge! And you know what that means for you?

We can find problems while they are still small and easy to fix before they turn into those big, painful and expensive situations nobody wants to deal with.
One thing our patients really love is how Pearl AI makes it so much easier to understand what's going on. It creates these clear visual overlays right on your X-rays, so instead of us just pointing at some fuzzy spot and saying “see that?”, you can actually see exactly what we are talking about. No more squinting at X-rays wondering what we are looking at!
All of this adds up to better treatment planning, fewer unexpected surprises when we are working on you and ultimately healthier smiles. And here's the thing, this isn't some experimental technology we are testing out on you. Pearl AI is already being used by thousands of dental practices around the world and it went through all those rigorous FDA tests to make sure it really works.
We are just really excited to be able to offer this level of care to our patients here in North Bethesda and Vienna!

“If I could give a 100 stars to Dr Kim, Joe and Karla I would. They were super amazing and very very accommodating. My son had a root canal here and after he said this is the best dentist experience he’s ever had. Super serene and immaculate atmosphere. They are just amazing. 100% customer service perfection and they are very professional and well skilled.”

First off, we're catching problems way earlier than we used to. Those tiny cavities that might have gone unnoticed?

And here's something our patients absolutely love, you don't have to just take our word for it anymore when we point something out on your X-ray. Pearl AI shows you exactly what we are seeing with these clear overlays right on the image. No more squinting and nodding politely while secretly thinking “I have no idea what they are talking about.” You will actually see it for yourself which makes those treatment conversations so much easier and more honest.
Whether you are here for an implant, root canal, crown, or we are doing a full smile makeover, you can feel confident knowing we are using the absolute best diagnostic tools available today. It's like having a safety net because we are not going to miss anything important and your treatment plan is going to be spot-on from day one.

How Pearl AI Enhances Our Specialized Services
The really cool thing is how well Pearl AI works with all the other high-tech tools we already have here. It plays perfectly with our Digital Smile Design system, those detailed 3D scans we take, and even our precision microscopes. Everything just works together seamlessly.
For our implant and crown work, Pearl AI is like having a detective on the case. It'll spot underlying issues that could mess with an implant placement or affect how well a crown fits. Stuff that could cause problems down the road. We want your beautiful new smile to last for decades, so catching these things upfront is huge.

And for root canals? This is where Pearl AI really shines. Root canal anatomy can be incredibly tricky. Sometimes there are extra canals hiding in there that are really hard to find, or the shape is more complex than expected.
Pearl AI helps us see exactly what's going on in there and then keep track of how you're healing as we go. You know those tough cases where we're really fighting to save a tooth that's on the edge? That's where this technology can be a total game-changer and sometimes that extra precision is what tips the scales between keeping your natural tooth and having to pull it.
But honestly, what we love most is how it supports our whole approach of catching things early. When we can spot problems when they are tiny, we can often fix them with really gentle and conservative treatments that keep more of your natural tooth intact. And that means better results that last longer which is what we all want, right?

“Dr. Dongjin (DJ) Shin did an amazing job to my 16y.o son by adding a *veneer* and a *Maryland-bridge” to his front upper teeth. One tooth was missing due to congenital absence (from the birth) and another one was too thin. Dr.Shin made it so precise, fast and naturally looking, I'm so impressed and my son is super happy! In addition, I want to thank the laboratory technician who made a veneer and a bridge ready for installation and came to meet my son to see the final look. What a great team, thank you, guys! We really appreciate and admire your work!”
