Real Practices, Real Time Saved

Behind every new innovation in dentistry is one question: does it actually work in practice?

Since introducing clinical AI notes, we’ve heard from practices across Australia who’ve woven the tool into their daily routines - saving time, improving consistency, and lightening the end-of-day workload.

Here’s how they’re doing it, what they’ve learned, and a few tips if you’re ready to start.

How are Australian clinicians using AI notes?

For most clinicians, the biggest advantage is that AI notes feel natural. It’s integrated into Dentally, Henry Schein One's cloud-based dental PMS, so there’s no need to switch tools or disrupt existing workflows.

Common use cases include:

• Between appointments - Quickly dictating summaries while the room is being reset.
• Routine check-ups - Capturing standard exams in seconds with pre-set templates.
• Complex cases - Recording detailed notes accurately without typing every word.
• Multi-clinician teams - Sharing templates to keep notes consistent across dentists, hygienists, and specialists.
  

What tips are clinicians sharing from early use?

Australian clinicians who have already enabled clinical AI notes shared a few practical tips for getting started:

1. Start with simple appointment types. Build confidence with routine exams first.
2. Speak naturally. The AI handles formatting - you don’t need to dictate like a report.
3. Review before saving. You’re still the author; always check details for accuracy.
4. Refine templates. Customise to your practice’s phrasing and layout.
5. Share learnings. Encourage your team to discuss what works best.

Most users find that after a few days, using AI notes becomes second nature.
