New: GoodNote now supports Orthodontics & Oral Surgery — book a live demo
AI dental scribe

Focus on patients.
We’ll handle the notes.

GoodNote listens to the visit and drafts accurate clinical notes, CDT codes, and treatment plans — purpose-built for dentists and specialists, not retrofitted from medicine.

HIPAA-first design. Works with your PMS.

Built for every corner of the practice

Why practices switch

Evenings back. Notes done. Revenue captured.

Documentation is the hidden tax on dentistry. GoodNote removes it — accurately, and in your voice.

Care workflow

With you from first chart review to claim paid

One intelligence layer across the whole dental visit — not a dictation app bolted on at the end.

Before the visit

Walk in prepared

GoodNote pulls together history, prior images, perio baselines, and outstanding treatment — so you start informed, not catching up.

  • Chart + radiograph summary
  • Outstanding treatment plans
  • Recall and risk flags
During the visit

Stay with the patient

Ambient capture follows the conversation — findings, odontogram updates, perio entries — while you keep eye contact, not screen time.

  • Dental-native understanding
  • Tooth-level precision (#1–#32)
  • Patient-friendly explanations
After the visit

Done before you sit down

Finalized notes, CDT specificity, treatment plans with estimates, referrals, and claim-ready documentation — waiting for one-tap review.

  • Notes + CDT codes drafted
  • Treatment plans with estimates
  • Referrals & patient summaries
Differentiators

Not a medical scribe with a dental sticker on it

Generic AI scribes misunderstand dentistry. GoodNote was trained on the language, codes, and workflows of the operatory.

🦷

Dental-native language model

Understands quadrants, surfaces, classifications, and specialty vocab — from endo diagnoses to ortho mechanics — out of the box.

🧾

CDT coding, built in

Every note arrives with specific CDT codes matched to documented findings — so clean claims go out the first time.

📋

Perio & odontogram aware

Pocket depths, bleeding, mobility, and restorations flow straight into the chart. No re-typing, no transcription gaps.

📝

Treatment plans that sell care

Phased plans with plain-language explanations and cost estimates patients actually understand — and accept.

🔗

Plays well with your PMS

Designed to slot into Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental workflows. Your front desk changes nothing.

🎛️

Your voice, your templates

Notes come out sounding like you — specialty, style, and templates tuned per provider, refined with every review.

Customers

Loved in the operatory

General dentists, specialists, and practice owners across the country run their full day with GoodNote — and keep it. Here's what they tell us.

I used to chart until 8pm. Now my notes are waiting when I walk out of the operatory — in my words, with the right codes attached.
Dr. Amanda L.General Dentist, Texas
It understands ortho mechanics better than any scribe we've tried. Adjustment notes, wire changes, staging — all captured without me repeating myself.
Dr. Jocelyn L.Orthodontist, Florida
Our case acceptance went up because treatment plans finally read clearly. Patients stop asking 'wait, what does that mean?' — it's already explained.
Dr. Arnold B.Oral Surgeon, California
I used to spend my lunch break catching up on notes. Now everything is documented before my next patient sits down. It sounds like me, not some generic template.
Dr. Melissa R.General Dentist, Arizona
Root canal notes used to take forever. Now the canals, working lengths, irrigation, and obturation details are all there. I just review, make any edits, and sign.
Dr. Kevin M.Endodontist, New York
Between managing kids and talking to parents, the last thing I want is more paperwork. Now the visit is captured without me having to remember every little detail afterward.
Dr. Sarah T.Pediatric Dentist, Georgia
It picks up on the details that matter — probing depths, grafting procedures, follow-up instructions. My notes are more consistent, and I’m spending way less time behind a screen.
Dr. Daniel P.Periodontist, Colorado
I used to stay an extra hour every day just finishing charts. Now my notes are ready before the patient leaves. I finally get to leave the office on time.
Dr. Rachel K.General Dentist, California
It actually understands what we're doing during adjustments. Wire changes, bracket repositioning, elastics — everything shows up in the note without me explaining it twice.
Dr. Michael S.Orthodontist, Texas
My attention is finally on the kids instead of the computer. It captures what we discuss with parents and turns it into a clean note I can review in seconds.
Dr. Jennifer A.Pediatric Dentist, Florida
I can finish a full day of extractions and implants without a mountain of notes waiting for me. Even the surgical details are organized exactly how I need them.
Dr. Brian T.Oral Surgeon, Washington
I was skeptical it could keep up with endo terminology. But it picks up working lengths, canal anatomy, and obturation details. My documentation has never been this easy.
Dr. Emily C.Endodontist, Illinois
My notes used to feel like a second job. Now the clinical findings, treatment recommendations, and follow-up plans are already structured when I'm done with the appointment.
Dr. Nathan P.Periodontist, North Carolina
Complex restorative cases involve so many little details. It captures the materials, shade selections, bite adjustments, and lab instructions without slowing down the appointment.
Dr. Olivia M.Prosthodontist, Massachusetts
The biggest difference isn't just saving time. It's knowing every conversation, every treatment recommendation, and every clinical detail is documented while it's still fresh.
Dr. David H.General Dentist, Colorado

FAQ

GoodNote is designed to fit Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental workflows. Notes, codes, and treatment plans flow into the chart where your team already works.

No. Your data is never used to train shared models, and we sign a BAA with every practice. Encryption, access controls, and audit trails come standard.
