Figuring out the most accurate AI tool feels a bit like picking the best pizza place in New York City. Everyone swears by their own favorite, but can we objectively say which one truly stands out? With artificial intelligence, especially in 2025, the answer isn't straightforward. But let's give it a try.

Running a solo dental practice isn't just about fillings and fluoride. You're not only the clinician but also the admin team, the scheduler, the marketing department, and sometimes, the IT support. When the waiting room's quiet, you're chasing follow-ups. When it's busy, you're mentally juggling which voicemail needs a callback first. It's no surprise that many solo dentists feel like they're one missed call away from burnout.

Emotions are running high about AI technologies. In this 2-parter, I do my best to make a rational case on the reality of AI, and how we can respond to it. This is part one; part two next week. We seem to be struggling to have pragmatic discussions about advancements in Artificial Intelligence. It's hard to hear calmer voices over the detractors and breathless enthusiasts. Today, I want to make a reasoned, evidence-based case for the potential of this technology, glance at present and future applications, and offer some practical examples for implementing AI within an organization.
