AI for dental treatment plans, explained inside the practice.
A treatment plan is the document a patient takes home before deciding whether to go ahead: what is wrong with each tooth, what the dentist recommends, the options and what it will cost. Writing it clearly takes time the appointment book does not have. An Ermos unit drafts it from the chart and your fee schedule on hardware inside the practice, and the dentist checks it before the patient sees it.
How it works on the unit
The examination findings, radiographs report, medical alerts and the dentist's recommended items are indexed on the unit with your fee schedule.
Each stage is explained in words the patient can follow, with the options the dentist discussed and the fee estimate for each.
The unit drafts the estimate and the financial consent wording your practice uses, so the patient has the cost in writing before treatment starts.
The dentist checks the clinical content and the options before the plan is printed or sent through your practice software.
The boundary, stated plainly
The unit explains a plan the dentist has already made. It does not diagnose, choose treatment or set fees. The Dental Board's Code of conduct asks for informed consent, including financial consent, and that conversation stays between the dentist and the patient.
Why on-premise matters here
A treatment plan combines the patient's dental findings, medical alerts, health fund details and often a note about what they can afford. Pasting it into a cloud tool to make it friendlier sends all of that to a third party. On the unit it stays with the patient record.
