At Pediatric Dental Centers, our mission has always been simple: provide every child with the highest quality dental care using the latest technology, evidence-based dentistry, and a compassionate approach. As pediatric dentistry continues to evolve, so do the tools available to help dentists make accurate diagnoses and communicate findings more clearly with families.
That is why we are proud to announce the implementation of Overjet, one of the most advanced dental artificial intelligence (AI) platforms available today, across all Pediatric Dental Centers locations.
This exciting advancement represents much more than adding new software—it establishes a standardized approach to diagnosing tooth decay throughout our entire organization. Whether your child visits our office in Miami, Broward, Homestead, West Kendall, Miami Gardens, Liberty City, Miami Shores, North Lauderdale, Palmetto Bay, River Landing, or any future Pediatric Dental Centers location, every provider will evaluate dental X-rays using the same advanced technology and consistent clinical standards.
What Is Overjet?
Overjet is an FDA-cleared artificial intelligence platform designed specifically for dentistry. It analyzes dental X-rays and assists dentists by identifying areas that may represent cavities, bone loss, existing restorations, and other important findings.
It is important to understand that Overjet does not replace your pediatric dentist.
Instead, it serves as an additional layer of analysis that helps dentists review radiographs with greater consistency and confidence. Every diagnosis is still made by your child’s pediatric dentist after a complete clinical examination and professional evaluation.
Think of Overjet as having another highly trained set of eyes reviewing every X-ray alongside your dentist.
Why Are We Implementing Overjet?
As one of Florida’s largest pediatric dental organizations, Pediatric Dental Centers believes that every child deserves the same high standard of care regardless of which office or provider they visit.
Historically, dentistry has relied heavily on each clinician’s individual interpretation of radiographs. While all licensed dentists receive extensive training, small variations in interpretation can naturally occur.
By implementing Overjet across our practices, we are creating a standardized diagnostic process that promotes consistency throughout our organization.
This means our providers use the same technology and follow the same evidence-based approach when evaluating dental radiographs.
Standardizing the Diagnosis of Tooth Decay
One of the greatest benefits of Overjet is the ability to standardize how cavities are identified.
When reviewing dental X-rays, Overjet highlights suspicious areas using color-coded indicators that help dentists identify lesions that have progressed into dentin and are more likely to require restorative treatment.
Within Pediatric Dental Centers, this technology supports a unified diagnostic philosophy across all providers. Rather than relying solely on individual interpretation, our dentists combine their clinical expertise with advanced AI-assisted analysis to help ensure consistent recommendations.
The goal is simple:
- – Consistent diagnoses
- – Consistent treatment recommendations
- – Consistent quality of care
- – Greater transparency for families
Better Communication With Parents
One of the most common questions parents ask is:
“Can you show me where the cavity is?”
Sometimes, early decay can be difficult to recognize on a traditional dental X-ray, especially for someone without dental training.
Overjet helps bridge that communication gap.
The software visually highlights areas of concern directly on the radiograph, making it much easier for parents to understand what the dentist is seeing.
Instead of simply hearing that a cavity exists, families can participate in the discussion while viewing the same information as the dental team.
This creates greater transparency and helps parents make informed decisions about their child’s dental care.
Supporting Evidence-Based Dentistry
At Pediatric Dental Centers, our philosophy has always been to provide treatment only when it is clinically necessary.
Artificial intelligence helps reinforce this philosophy by supporting objective, evidence-based evaluations.
By combining advanced technology with the expertise of our pediatric dentists, we can make treatment recommendations that are more consistent and easier to explain.
Our goal is never to perform more treatment.
Our goal is to perform the right treatment at the right time.
What This Means for Your Child
Parents can expect several important benefits from the implementation of Overjet.
Greater Consistency
Regardless of which Pediatric Dental Centers office your family visits, our providers follow the same standardized diagnostic process.
Increased Confidence
Knowing that every X-ray is reviewed by both your pediatric dentist and advanced AI technology provides another level of confidence in the evaluation.
Improved Transparency
Parents can see exactly what the dentist sees during treatment discussions.
Better Education
Visual explanations help children and parents better understand dental conditions and preventive care.
Earlier Detection
Artificial intelligence can assist providers in identifying subtle findings that deserve closer attention, allowing for earlier intervention when appropriate.
Technology That Aligns With Modern Dentistry
Many dental insurance companies already use artificial intelligence to review radiographs during claims processing.
By implementing Overjet in our offices, Pediatric Dental Centers is embracing the same level of advanced technology used throughout the dental industry while ensuring that all treatment decisions remain in the hands of experienced pediatric dentists.
This alignment helps create greater consistency between clinical documentation, radiographic findings, and treatment planning.
Prevention Will Always Come First
Although Overjet is an exciting technological advancement, prevention remains the foundation of everything we do.
No software can replace healthy habits such as:
- – Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- – Flossing daily
- – Limiting sugary snacks and drinks
- – Routine professional cleanings
- – Regular dental examinations
- – Fluoride treatments when indicated
- – Dental sealants for cavity prevention
Technology helps us diagnose disease more accurately, but preventing cavities before they develop remains our ultimate goal.
Our Commitment to Innovation
Pediatric Dental Centers continually invests in technology that improves patient care, enhances safety, and supports clinical excellence.
The implementation of Overjet is another example of our commitment to innovation and our promise to provide families with modern, evidence-based pediatric dental care.
As dental technology continues to evolve, we will continue adopting tools that improve diagnosis, strengthen communication, and help us deliver the highest standard of care to every child.
