Would you trust your smile to a robot? As technology rapidly advances, the concept of robotic dentistry is becoming a reality. We are on the brink of a new era of dentistry where artificial intelligence and robots are no longer just an idea, but a real option.
Imagine going into a dentist’s office, sitting in the chair, and having highly accurate robotic systems handle your dental treatment in a fraction of the time it takes today.
But the intersection of technology and healthcare raises important questions about trust, safety, and the future of patient care.

The world’s first fully automated dental treatment
As a groundbreaking development, InsightfulA Boston-based company has successfully completed the world’s first fully automated human dental procedure in Barranquilla, Colombia. The groundbreaking achievement was achieved using an AI-driven robotic system. The technology brings together advanced 3D imaging, artificial intelligence, and robotics to increase the precision and efficiency of dental procedures, potentially transforming the patient experience and establishing a new standard of care in the industry.

How does a dental robot work?
Perceptive’s dental robotic system integrates AI-powered 3D imaging software and robotic arms designed to perform restorative dentistry and other dental procedures with unparalleled speed and precision. The process begins with an optical coherence technology (OCT) scan, capturing a detailed 3D image of the patient’s mouth, including below the gum line.
These images are analysed by AI algorithms to plan and execute procedures with high precision. This innovative approach aims to reduce the time required for procedures such as crown placement from several hours to just 15 minutes, significantly improving efficiency and patient flow.

The impact of dental robots on dentistry
Perceptive’s technology aims to make quality dental care more accessible by reducing manual work and the chance of human error. Capable of detecting cavities with over 90% accuracy without the ionizing radiation of traditional x-rays, the system further enhances patient safety and quality of care. This advancement is backed by significant funding and partnerships with leading institutions. We reached out to Perceptive, who had this to say:
“We are pleased to have successfully completed the world’s first fully automated robotic dentistry. This medical breakthrough will increase the precision and efficiency of dental care, democratizing access to better dental care and improving patient experience and clinical outcomes. We look forward to evolving our system and pioneering scalable, fully automated dental care solutions for our patients.”

Issues and future prospects for dental robots
Despite its promising potential, the technology is still about five years away from receiving regulatory approval in the U.S. The company continues to refine its system to ensure safety and reliability in situations with high patient movement. As robotic surgery becomes more common in other medical fields, incorporating such technology in dentistry could revolutionize treatment protocols and patient care.
