DentScribe is DentScribe Inc.’s AI scribe for dental practices: it listens during the visit, writes a dental SOAP note and publishes it to Dentrix, Eaglesoft or Open Dental. The vendor also sells it as a follow-up tool, with prompts about unresolved treatment, a morning huddle view, voice perio charting and patient after-care summaries. Pricing is on request, and the vendor says no long-term contract is required (checked October 23, 2026).
Quick verdict
DentScribe suits a practice on Dentrix, Eaglesoft or Open Dental that wants SOAP notes written from the chairside conversation and also wants the rest of the team, from hygienists to the treatment coordinator and front desk, working from the same visit record. Its pages lean on two things: notes that go straight into the PMS, and follow-up prompts built from those notes.
The weak spot is evidence. No published study names DentScribe, we found no user reviews to count, and the time and completeness figures on its site come from an unnamed practice in the vendor’s own case study. Before you sign, ask for the price, ask whether a provider can review and edit a note before it is published to the PMS (the saved pages don’t say), and read the BAA, which the vendor says is available “for qualifying clients”.

What is DentScribe?
DentScribe is software that turns what a dentist says during an appointment into a SOAP note in the practice’s PMS. The vendor calls it “a clinical AI platform” and says notes are generated in real time from “natural narration”, typically within seconds of the visit ending, and that you don’t need to change how you speak.
The vendor describes six steps. You talk during the visit, the SOAP note is written in real time, and the note syncs to the PMS without copying and pasting. Then CoPilot surfaces unresolved treatment and follow-up, a morning huddle view called GPS lists the day’s opportunities, and the patient gets an after-care summary. The FAQ calls GPS the Guided Production System.
Most of the site is about what happens after the note. DentScribe says CoPilot flags “missed treatment, incomplete diagnoses, and follow-up opportunities” in the chart, and that hygienists get prompts about perio, recare, whitening, occlusal guards and restorative work. How CoPilot decides what to flag isn’t explained on the pages, and nothing in our sources tests it, so ask the vendor to walk you through its prompts in a demo.
The vendor also publishes a case study of “a multi-provider GP practice using Dentrix” with charting time down 1.6 hours a day, note completeness up 38%, follow-up captured up 24% and after-hours work near zero. No practice is named, and the page doesn’t say how any of it was measured. As for the ROI calculator on the home page, it carries the vendor’s own note that its figures are “illustrative models”.
Key features
DentScribe’s main features, as the vendor lists them, are SOAP notes from narration, PMS publishing, voice perio charting and a set of follow-up tools for the wider team. All of the following are the vendor’s descriptions:
- SOAP notes: generated in real time from chairside narration, with dental terminology, ready to publish into the PMS
- Custom Vocabulary: adapts to each dentist’s terminology, shorthand, templates and style
- Voice perio charting: hands-free charting of pockets, recession, bleeding, mobility, furcation “and more” during the exam
- CoPilot: chairside prompts about unresolved treatment, findings and next actions
- GPS Morning Huddle: follow-up and production opportunities listed before the first patient arrives
- Patient value view: outstanding treatment, recall status, follow-up history and patient value signals in one place
- Treatment Coordinator Notes: financial discussions, objections, insurance context and next steps, kept apart from the clinical SOAP note
- Patient documents: after-care summaries in patient-friendly language, and referral-ready specialist reports from the visit record
- PMS: Dentrix, Eaglesoft and Open Dental; the FAQ says DentScribe “integrates natively” with all three, and the home page says notes can be published from anywhere, even away from the office
- Mobile app for iOS and Android, built for chairside use
- Patent: the vendor says its technology is covered by U.S. Patent No. 12,597,495 B2; we didn’t check the patent record
- Onboarding: guided setup, team training and ongoing support from a customer success team
DentScribe vs. what a clinical notes tool should have
DentScribe’s pages cover four of the five must-haves on our clinical notes checklist. The missing one is clinician review: the pages describe publishing a finished note to the PMS but never say whether a provider can edit it first. Public pricing, other languages and any published accuracy evidence are also missing.

FDA status and privacy
We found no FDA listing for DentScribe: we searched the FDA’s 510(k) and PMA databases on October 23, 2026 and found none under the vendor’s name. On privacy, DentScribe says it has a HIPAA self-attestation report, makes BAAs available to qualifying clients and encrypts customer data in transit and at rest.
The FDA search used openFDA’s 510(k) and PMA device databases, with “DentScribe” as the applicant in both and as the device name in the 510(k) database. Neither of the two saved DentScribe pages mentions the FDA.
Asked “Is DentScribe HIPAA compliant?”, the vendor’s FAQ says yes and offers its latest self-attestation report on request through its Trust Portal. A self-attestation is the vendor’s own statement. On the home page, DentScribe adds role-based access controls, security and policy documentation, and “HIPAA-aligned handling of PHI”, and the FAQ says infrastructure is hosted on AWS with regular backups. We found no SOC 2, HITRUST or other certification in our sources, and we didn’t review the Trust Portal.
DentScribe records the conversation in the operatory, so before anyone uses it with patients, ask the vendor in writing what “qualifying clients” means for the BAA, where audio and transcripts are stored and for how long, whether patient audio is used to train its models, and what patient consent it expects you to collect.
Pricing
DentScribe pricing is on request; neither of the vendor’s saved pages shows a price (checked October 23, 2026).
The FAQ says DentScribe is sold by subscription, that pricing scales with the size of the practice, and that no long-term contracts are required. To get a figure you book a demo, and the vendor says its team will model the ROI for your practice. Ask what “size” means (providers, operatories or locations), whether voice perio, CoPilot and GPS cost extra, what onboarding costs and how cancellation works.
Who it’s for
DentScribe fits a practice on Dentrix, Eaglesoft or Open Dental where dentists catch up on charting after hours and the owner also wants treatment follow-up tracked across hygiene, the treatment coordinator and the front desk. The vendor says it is built for the whole practice and for teams across several locations.
If you only need notes written, compare it with other AI scribes we have reviewed, such as Denti.AI Scribe; much of DentScribe’s pitch is the follow-up layer, so ask whether the notes can be bought on their own. Practices on another PMS, practices that need a language other than English and buyers who want independent accuracy data or published prices should get answers before booking a demo.
FAQ
How much does DentScribe cost?
Pricing on request. DentScribe’s saved pages show no prices as of October 23, 2026. The vendor says it sells a subscription that scales with practice size and requires no long-term contract.
Is DentScribe FDA cleared?
No FDA listing for DentScribe was found in the FDA’s 510(k) and PMA databases, searched October 23, 2026 under the vendor’s name. DentScribe’s saved pages don’t mention the FDA.
Does DentScribe work with Dentrix, Eaglesoft or Open Dental?
Yes, according to DentScribe, which says it integrates natively with Dentrix, Eaglesoft and Open Dental and publishes notes straight into the PMS. Those are the only three systems its pages name. Confirm that your PMS version is supported during the demo.
Is DentScribe HIPAA compliant, and does it sign a BAA?
DentScribe says it has attained HIPAA compliance, based on a self-attestation report available on request, and that BAAs are available for qualifying clients. Those are the vendor’s statements; we found no SOC 2, HITRUST or other certification in our sources. Ask for the BAA and the report before recording patients.
How accurate is DentScribe?
No independent accuracy figure is available. We found no study naming DentScribe in PubMed, searched October 23, 2026, and the vendor’s pages give no accuracy rate. The 38% gain in note completeness on its site comes from the vendor’s own case study of an unnamed practice.
Does DentScribe decide treatment for the dentist?
No. DentScribe writes up what the dentist says and, per the vendor, flags treatment and follow-up it finds in the chart; the diagnosis and treatment plan stay with the dentist. The saved pages don’t say whether a provider can edit a note before it is published to the PMS, so ask to see that step in a demo.
How this review was put together
We didn’t use DentScribe ourselves. This review is built from two of DentScribe’s pages, the home page and the FAQ, both checked October 23, 2026. We also searched the FDA’s 510(k) and PMA databases and PubMed on October 23, 2026. No user reviews were in our data, so the review has no pros and cons from users, and the testimonials and case study on DentScribe’s site were not counted as reviews.
