Dental AI Readiness · Strategy First · Practices & DSOs
Where is your practice leaking — and is AI even the fix?
Most dental "AI" starts with the tool. We start with strategy. Find where your practice leaks capacity — recall, verification, no-shows, phones — and whether AI, a process change, or nothing at all is the right move. It sits on top of your PMS, not instead of it. Score it in five minutes.
the question the AI vendors skip
Strategy first. Then AI. Then automation.
Every week a new tool promises to "transform" your practice with AI. The honest question comes first: where is capacity actually leaking, and is AI even the right fix? Sometimes it's a scheduling-rule change. Sometimes it's a front-desk script. Sometimes it's governed automation. This scan tells you which — grounded in your own answers, not a vendor's demo.
One guardrail we never cross: the licensed dentist diagnoses — not us. RIG doesn't read radiographs, doesn't detect caries, and isn't an FDA-cleared device. We govern the administrative workflow around your team — hygiene recall, insurance verification, schedule-gap fills, and phones — so clinicians spend more time on care and less on admin. It runs on top of your PMS (Denticon, Dentrix, or Open Dental), never a rip-and-replace, with a human in the loop and an audit trail of what ran and who could override it.
the 5-minute readiness scan
Where's your leak — and how big?
Five questions across the places dental practices lose capacity. Answer honestly — if you're already running lean, the scan tells you plainly and we don't sell you anything.
I'll send a personalized readiness report by email — human-delivered, like the assessment, not a static PDF: your leak ranked worst-first, a plain call on where AI is the fix and where a simpler process change wins first, and modeled/illustrative reclaimable-time ranges cited to public benchmarks. Every figure is modeled or publicly cited — never a RIG client result.
the four places dental capacity leaks
Find the one costing you most.
Hygiene recall gap
Patients who fall overdue or leave without the next visit booked. Every unbooked recall is future production sitting idle — and the quietest leak, because nothing looks broken.
Manual insurance verification
Eligibility and benefits checked by hand, often the day of. It pulls the front desk off patients and shows up later as day-of surprises, rework, and avoidable write-offs.
No-shows & schedule gaps
Last-minute cancellations and no-shows that leave a chair — and a clinician — idle when a same-day fill list could have kept it producing.
Missed & after-hours calls
New-patient and existing-patient calls that hit voicemail at peak, lunch, or after close. An unanswered new-patient call is a booking that went to the practice down the street.
The report scores which one is costing you most, grounded in your own answers — not a generic "AI maturity" score. Multi-location practices get a fifth view: which site is leaking, and where.
what the benchmarks show
The gap is bigger than it feels.
Every figure here is a public benchmark or a modeled range — labeled, and explicitly not a RIG client result. Ranges are directional, meant to be checked against your own numbers, not a promise for your practice. The report grounds them in your answers instead of an industry average.
Sources: ADA Health Policy Institute dentist workforce/hiring surveys (hygienist staffing, directional). PPO write-off range is a commonly cited dental practice-management benchmark, directional — confirm against your fee schedule and payer mix. Reclaimable-hours figure is a modeled/illustrative estimate, not a measured RIG outcome.
strategy first, then governed AI
How RIG closes the gaps.
The free readiness scan is the top of a short, plain-priced ladder: free 30-min assessment → $2,500 refundable opportunity brief → fractional CAIO ($5–25k/mo) → governed build ($25–150k). We name the leak, say whether strategy, AI, or automation is the right fix, then build governed automation that reclaims the hours safely — a human in the loop and an audit trail, not a black box. It runs on top of your PMS (Denticon, Dentrix, Open Dental), never a rip-and-replace. The goal is more capacity from the team you already have.
RIG runs its own operation on 100+ governed agents across 24 internal systems — our own build, shown as the mechanism, not a client testimonial. RIG is pre-first-external-client, so you'll find no practice names, logos, or case studies here by design — only the machinery and clearly labeled ranges.
questions
Dental AI readiness, answered.
Will AI diagnose cavities or read my X-rays?
No. RIG does not diagnose, does not read images, and is not an FDA-cleared device. The licensed dentist makes every clinical decision. RIG governs the administrative automation around your team — hygiene recall, insurance verification, scheduling, and phones — so clinicians spend more time on care and less on admin.
Do I have to replace Dentrix, Denticon, or Open Dental?
No. RIG builds on top of your existing practice-management system, never a rip-and-replace. Governed automation runs alongside your current tools with a human in the loop and an audit trail of what ran and who could override it.
What does the free readiness check actually give me?
A leak band across four capacity leaks — hygiene recall, insurance verification, no-show and schedule gaps, and front-desk and after-hours calls — plus a strategy-first read on whether AI is even the right fix or a simpler process change wins first. It's human-delivered by email, not a static PDF.
Is AI always the answer for a dental practice?
No, and we'll tell you when it isn't. The order is strategy first, then AI, then automation. If your practice is already running lean, the scan says so and we don't sell you anything.
The licensed dentist diagnoses — RIG does not. RIG does not detect caries, read radiographs, or make clinical decisions, and is not an FDA-cleared device. RIG governs administrative automation on top of your existing PMS, with human oversight and an audit trail.
Every figure on this page is modeled/illustrative or cited to a public benchmark (e.g. ADA Health Policy Institute) — not a RIG client result. Directional ranges should be confirmed against your own numbers before you rely on them.
RIG is pre-first-external-client: no practice names, logos, or testimonials appear here, by design. The only capability proof is RIG's own build — 100+ governed agents across 24 internal systems.
