Smarter, faster clinical notes are here – powered by AI

Shared by Amy • November 13, 2025

We know your days are packed with back-to-back appointments, constant charting, imaging and notes to catch up on. That’s why we are excited to bring you clinical AI notes. Built to help save you time and stay focused on what matters most: your patients.

Now live across all regions (excluding Northern Ireland & Republic of Ireland), clinical AI notes lets you speak or type your observations and instantly generate a clear, structured note right inside Dentally. All you need is a microphone to get started and you never have to stay late to catch up on admin again!

With up to five minutes saved per patient, you’ll have more time for meaningful conversations, extra appointments and a better work-life balance.

AI notes are rolling out from today across Dentally sites in England, Wales and Scotland. You’ll be notified in-app once it’s available to use – and for sites in Canada and Australia you already have access to AI notes!

Simply navigate to your clinical sidebar to get started. Just talk, summarise, and save!

Identify last-minute empty slots in seconds, and send automated SMS messages to fill them! This is a game-changer for practices currently relying on tedious manual processes – no need for constantly maintaining a physical list, and no more endless calls to fill a single slot. You can identify, contact and fill in just a few clicks!

💡 Click the jigsaw icon in the calendar to view your short notice filler!

  • Add appointments to your short notice list in a couple of clicks
  • Identify empty slots in the next five working days
  • Send automated SMS messages to fill gaps – we'll contact the most suitable patients first, and the automation will stop as soon as the slot is filled
  • Patients reply with “BOOK” to confirm they want it – the first to reply will be moved to that slot instantly!

Why use the short notice filler?

This is more than a list – the short notice filler does the thinking for you.

  • Efficient – No need to trawl through multiple days to identify empty slots. View at a glance any slots that need filling, as well as how many appointments on your short notice list match the criteria for the slot.
  • Smart – We suggest only appointments which fit the bill, so you don’t waste time. We even list them in priority order so you can start with the ones that will best optimise your chair time!
  • Automated – Confirm the patients you want to contact and we’ll do the rest! We contact patients one at a time, in an optimised order, so you’re in complete control and can focus on other tasks while we work in the background. As soon as the slot is filled, we’ll stop the automation and let any unsuccessful patients know.

Turn this week’s empty slots into opportunity - stay in complete control, while maximising your calendar, reducing admin burden and helping patients to be seen sooner!

Your latest Dentally Vision update is here

Shared by Anke • August 05, 2025

We’re excited to announce the launch of Dentally Vision v120, packed with enhancements to give your team more control and clarity in your imaging workflows. Here's what’s new:

AI detection confidence slider for Dentally Vision AI

You can now control how certain Vision AI should be before it shows potential findings on your images. Set the slider to Low, Medium, or High - the higher the setting, the more confident the AI needs to be before displaying a result. Your selection will be remembered between exams.

📘 Learn more about the new confidence slider here.

Simplified procedure names

Clearer, consistent naming across all image types - terms like ‘Intraoral Full Mouth Images’ are now simply ‘Full Mouth Series’, making image types easier to recognise at a glance.
