More than transcript cleanup

A specialist note needs the exam and the findings around it.

The conversation matters, but it is not the whole clinical record. ToothNote.ai keeps supported charting, measurements, imaging context, and the patient history available to the same reviewed documentation workflow.

Capture the actual encounter

Record the chairside conversation so the note starts from what happened, not from a memory exercise hours later.

Use the practice's house format

Choose SOAP-Compact, Narrative, or APSO and keep the clinician's established writing style in the draft.

Bring reviewed findings with it

Supported perio, endodontic, OMFS, and imaging context can remain attached to the case and available during review.

Keep the doctor in control

The note remains a draft until the clinician reviews, edits, and approves it.

One connected workflow

Capture once, review once, hand off the approved note.

ToothNote.ai handles the specialist documentation work around the official record. The practice keeps its PMS for scheduling, billing, and chart-of-record responsibilities.

  1. 01

    Record the encounter

    Capture the exam or procedure in the room while the clinical work is happening.

  2. 02

    Assemble the case context

    Use the conversation plus the patient-bound findings and evidence available to the workflow.

  3. 03

    Review the structured note

    The clinician confirms the history, findings, assessment, plan, tooth numbers, and specialty details.

  4. 04

    Move the approved work forward

    Copy or download the approved note into nearly any PMS, then build supported downstream documents from the same case.

Clear boundaries

Keep your PMS as the official system of record.

Today, approved clinical notes can be copied or downloaded into nearly any PMS. Direct Open Dental integration is entering controlled release for supported patient, referring-doctor, and periodontal-chart workflows; we describe direct write-back only where it is enabled.

Plan availability

Start with the work you need.

SOAP, exam, procedure, and treatment-note workflows begin with Pro. Practice adds structured measurements, imaging context, appeals, and comprehensive analytics.

Common questions

SOAP and clinical notes questions specialists ask.

Is ToothNote.ai an AI scribe for dentists?

It does the scribe job and more. Most AI scribes only listen to the conversation. ToothNote.ai combines the exam conversation with structured specialty findings such as perio charting, measurements, and imaging context, so the note is drafted from a reviewed clinical story rather than from audio alone.

Does it write SOAP notes for periodontics, oral surgery, and endodontics?

Yes. ToothNote.ai is built for specialist practices and supports SOAP, exam, procedure, and treatment notes across periodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and endodontics.

Does it integrate with my practice management system?

Approved clinical notes can be copied or downloaded into nearly any practice management system today. Direct Open Dental integration is entering controlled release for supported patient, referring-doctor, and periodontal-chart workflows. Your practice management system remains the official chart of record.

Do I have to record the entire visit?

No. A short dictated memo is enough to produce documentation. Recording the encounter adds the SOAP note, chart context, and patient take-home from the same capture.

Who is responsible for the final clinical note?

The treating clinician. ToothNote.ai drafts documentation for doctor review. It does not replace clinician judgment and it does not autonomously diagnose. Every document is reviewed and approved before it is used or delivered.
