Periodontics
Record the exam or dictate a 30-second memo. Speak the probe readings into a six-site chart. ToothNote.ai drafts the letter back to the referring dentist, the clinical note, and the patient's plain-language recap from the same reviewed case. You approve every one before it leaves the office.

Plain-language recap
Evidence supports documentation, not diagnosis. The PMS remains the official record.
The work a perio practice repeats
A comprehensive periodontal exam produces a chart, a note, a letter to the dentist who sent the patient, and something the patient can take home. ToothNote.ai treats them as outputs of one reviewed exam.
Comprehensive exam
Draft what you found, what you are planning, and when the patient returns from the recorded exam and confirmed chart, in the clinician's writing style and with the saved ink signature.
See referral lettersProbing
Keep recession, BOP, suppuration, mobility, furcation, implants, and missing teeth beside the six depths. Confirm once, then preserve the dated chart as part of the case.
Review the chart capabilitiesSRP, osseous, graft, or implant
Prepare a procedure-shaped note with the tooth, materials, findings, and follow-up kept together, ready to copy into the chart of record.
See clinical notesDenied treatment
Build the appeal from the confirmed chart and note, including pocket depths, BOP, and bone-level support, with each claim linked to its source for review.
See insurance appealsCore specialty capabilities
ToothNote.ai combines the recorded exam, health history, radiograph and clinical-photo findings, and periodontal measurements. Speak the readings or use the keyboard-first grid. The source stays visible for review.
Scoped teeth, automatic site advance, voice or keyboard. Site-level bleeding and suppuration, mobility, furcation, implant mode, and missing teeth stay beside the six depths.
Surface documented diabetes, tobacco use, medications, allergies, and other systemic context for review beside the periodontal findings.
For enabled Practice workflows, visible restorative and prior-treatment findings are proposed with tooth, source, and confidence for periodontist confirmation.
CAL and AAP stage and grade are drafted only from complete charted data. Missing measurements produce an insufficient-data state, not a guess.

One reviewed case
The practice gets a periodontal record ready to copy or download into the PMS. The referring dentist gets a concise account of the reviewed findings and plan. The patient gets a clear explanation of what happens next.

Two directions, two jobs
Return findings, treatment plan, timing, and next steps to the dentist who sent the patient. The approved letter can go by email from the practice's verified domain without requiring the recipient to use ToothNote.ai.
See the return-letter workflowSend the patient to another office, such as an endodontist for a cracked tooth or an oral surgeon for a full-arch case. The patient copy and office copy keep the destination and clinical request explicit.
See outbound referralsPrepare a practice-branded summary in plain language with what was found, what is planned, and what to do before the next visit.
See patient recapsPrefill a one-page physician form for prophylaxis, anticoagulant interruption, permitted antibiotic, and additional precautions from the approved case.

See Doctor ChartClinician-controlled by design
ToothNote.ai uses recordings, documents, images, and periodontal measurements to propose documentation evidence. It does not turn a radiograph or chart finding into an autonomous diagnosis. The clinician confirms what belongs in the record and determines diagnosis and treatment.
Works with your PMS
The PMS stays the official chart, schedule, and ledger. Approved letters go by email from the practice's verified domain. Approved notes and the periodontogram copy or download into nearly any PMS. Direct Open Dental integration is entering controlled release for supported patient, referring-doctor, and periodontal-chart workflows.
See the three delivery pathsFrequently asked questions
No. A 30-second dictated memo after the patient leaves is enough to draft a complete letter to the referring dentist. Recording the exam adds the SOAP note, chart context, and patient take-home from the same capture.
Yes. Voice-driven and keyboard capture both feed the same six-site grid, and every site passes through clinician confirmation before it becomes part of the record.
It drafts a stage and grade only when the required charted inputs are present, and only for review. This is in early access on the Practice plan. It never becomes a diagnosis without the clinician.
Open an appeal case with the payer, claim, denied code, and denial reason. ToothNote.ai assembles the confirmed chart sites, clinical note, and radiograph support into a case-specific appeal for review. The practice submits it, and the payer decides.
Yes. A team member with write access can capture the chart. The periodontist confirms it before it becomes part of the reviewed record. Pricing is per provider.
