AI in Dentistry: A Glimpse Into the Future of Patient Care

By Ramy Bahu, DDS | Blog | Comments are Closed | 30 April, 2025 | 0

As your dentist, part of my job is to keep an eye on new technology that could make your visits easier, safer, and more effective. One of the biggest innovations on the horizon is artificial intelligence, or AI. While we currently utilize AI tools in a limited way, I would like to take a moment to share how this technology could impact dentistry in the future and what that might mean for you.

Diagnostics

One exciting possibility is how AI could help with early diagnosis. New programs are being developed that can scan dental X-rays and imaging to spot issues like tiny cavities, hairline fractures, or early gum disease — even before they become visible to the human eye. This would allow us to catch problems much sooner, giving you more treatment options and a better chance to avoid more complicated procedures later on.

Treatment Planning

Treatment planning could also see big improvements. Imagine having a custom dental plan that takes into account not just your teeth, but your entire dental history, health factors, and even genetics. AI systems being tested right now are learning how to create truly individualized treatment strategies, helping dentists make even more precise recommendations for braces, implants, restorations, and preventive care.

Office Visits

AI could even make some of the behind-the-scenes parts of your visit smoother. In the future, virtual assistants powered by AI might help with appointment scheduling, reminders, insurance approvals, and answering quick questions, making the experience from check-in to check-out faster and more convenient for you.

While many of these advances are still in development, I’m excited about the possibilities they offer. Technology will never replace the personal care and trust we’ve built, but I believe it can make your experience even better. I’ll be keeping a close watch on how AI continues to evolve, and as always, my priority will be choosing new tools that truly benefit your health and comfort.

If you have any questions about how new technologies might improve your dental care, or if you’d like to schedule your next appointment, please contact us right away at 312.943.6444. We’re always here to help you stay informed, comfortable, and confident in your dental health journey.

Sincerely,

I have been a patient for nearly 8 years and I have never had a complaint. I am not a fan of going to the dentist, yet I never have had a bad experience. Professional, friendly and always on time!

Dr. Bahu and his staff have created a warm and relaxing environment that makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. The front office staff are extremely courteous and always greet patients with smiles. Laura takes extra care in providing a very thorough and comfortable cleaning while showing sincere interest in her patients – not just their teeth. Dr. Bahu delivers care with utmost professionalism. He clearly explains what he observes during an exam and, if needed, provides reasonable recommendations for treatment while being genuinely friendly and respectful. I am very fortunate to have found Dr. Bahu and his staff almost 12 years ago.

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Ramy Bahu and Aesthetic & Reconstructive Dental Associates. I drive about 40 miles each way because of the level of care I receive here. Dr. Bahu is an expert that truly makes you feel cared for. Laura delivers the most amazing cleanings I’ve ever had with a gentle touch. The entire team is welcoming and friendly. Thank you all for your professionalism and concern throughout the entire process.

The staff at Dr. Bahu's office are excellent. The minute I walk through the door the staff greets me. Dr. Bahu is knowledgeable and excellent at his craft. Laura (the hygienist) makes you feel at ease and educates me on dental care on every visit.

Found Dr. Bahu through ZocDoc and scheduled an appointment as a new patient. From the confirmation of my appointment, handling my insurance to guiding me through the labyrinth of hallways, all of my expectations were exceeded before I even sat in the dentist's chair. His dedicated staff made every assurance that I was comfortable and was informed of every procedure that was taking place as a new patient. I'm confident that Dr. Bahu and his team have the experience and expertise to make every visit an enjoyable one!

All the good reviews you may read here would be FAKE!!! So sad to consult doctors like Ramy and wonder how would they manage to get 5 start reviews!!! Gone there for the TMJ pain and he and his team has to google what is Bruxism..LOL. Can you believe that a dental professional had to do this? He has diagnosed Trismus from a panoramic x-ray of the tooth that has no visibility of lockjaw. It is a shame to the medical profession that some people are so GREEDY and dont even bother about their patients. We tried calling him but does not want to come online nor he returned out calls. 07/29/2019 - RESPONSE TO DR. RAMY BAHU'S PHONE CALL & TO MY BELOW RESPONSE BY THE OWNER. After my phone calls to the clinic and Kim. The doctor called me after seeing my emails. He told me that noone has told him to call me back even after the reminders with Claudia that I would like to speak with the Dr.Ramy Bahu (can be a excuse). First of all Doctor had no clue whether my wife has TMJ or Trismus or lockedJaw. So I asked whether they treat people with lockedjaw and TMJ and Kim said YES. But the doctor does not have an equipment to scan/xray the Jaw except an PANAROMIC XRAY. HE ADMITTED OVER THE PHONE THAT HE HAS NOT FIXED ANYONE WITH THE TMJ OR LOCKEDJAW........WHY DO THEY LIE OVER THE PHONE AND MISLED PEOPLE? My frustration is that because I have called them a few times before the appointment and asked them (Kim) to confirm with the doctor whether he treats/fix TMJ and LockedJaw here and KIM SAID YES, but we need to see the patient before determining. IF THEY DONT TREAT (FIX) LOCKEDJAW/TMJ why would they ask us to come waste our time? HE IS NOT A DOCTOR FOR TMJ/TRISMUS/LOCKEDJAWS. (NOW THEY HAVE REMOVE THAT FROM THE WEBSITE!!) NOTHING MORE THAN GREEDINESS !! STAY AWAY FOLKS. but it reports say she has by his report even after we have told that my wife has TMJ/LockedJaw issue but the email he sent my wife I have spoken to the doctor regarding what he has diagnosis.

Wow I'm so impressed by Dr. Bahu. I explained to him I had some dental anxiety and had been avoiding the dentist for a while due to this. He saved me from a root canal and was very helpful in keeping costs manageable. The dentist is still not my favorite but I know I am in great hands with Dr. Bahu

I've been to a number of dentist offices, and this experience was hands down the best I've ever had. The entire staff is fantastic. They were very considerate of my comfort levels and treated me with respect as they explained everything that they were doing step by step.

I went to Dr. Bahu for general dental needs and he quickly made me feel comfortable by explaining everything that was going on with my teeth and even showing me pictures. I felt comfortable enough on the first visit to have a procedure done. Having some patience with the front desk staff will be well worth the care from Dr. Bahu!

Actually love going to the Dentist! Dr. Bahu is such a talented, caring professional. He leads an amazing team, including Laura, the best hygienist on the planet.

I visited for an emergency root canal on my girlfriend's referral, and I owe her one, because I had a very good experience. Pricing was fair, especially considering the service was excellent: the turnaround from the time I called to getting into the office was amazingly fast, and Dr. Bahu was as thorough, friendly, and as informative as could be. Sandra was awesome, too, she explained every step of the process, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Both of them are total pros and I felt like trusted them from the moment I sat down. One thing I appreciated in particular about Dr. Bahu was his ability to focus on what my treatment plan is, and what may have caused my issues, and not on preachy, condescending lecturing. I already know I've made some bad choices and my general anxiety about dentists doesn't help. Visiting my previous dentist's office was like going to confession at Catholic Church (except it cost money and physical pain in addition to guilt and shame, so it was worse). BUT! I felt 100% comfortable at Dr. Bahu's office and honestly, I look forward to going back to continue my treatment plan with gusto. I haven't felt actual optimism about a dentist in a long time. Big thanks to both Dr. Bahu and Sandra for all their efforts!

I'm not proud to say that it's been awhile since I've been to a dentist, but coming to see Dr. Bahu and his staff has been a wonderful experience! The office is extremely clean and cozy, and the staff are very doting and welcoming! I'm so glad they took my concerns about dental anxiety to heart, I am very scared of needles and this is the first office to ever ask about it AND ensure my comfort regarding them going forward. I'm extremely grateful for it! Dr. Bahu has a wonderfully kind and smart chairside manner, he laid out my treatment that was necessary and explained the long-term benefits of it, and it really put into perspective how it would affect me later. He was able to explain it to me in a way that didn't make me feel guilty for walking in the door like some offices do to people. I feel more confident in my care here than anyplace I've been to in a long time; I feel actually listened to and not like a walking sack of potential money like most places have treated me. Thank you Dr. Bahu and staff! :)

It had been many years since I had been to the dentist. Dr. Bahu and his staff were very friendly and professional. I appreciated the care they took to make sure I was informed of procedures and felt comfortable. It was a very positive experience.

Total rip off!!! Offered a face mask treatment while waiting for services (declined) Told I only had to pay an additional $40 on top of what was covered by insurance. Was sent a $250 bill for X-ray services (they use OLD Xray technology) and then threatened collections.

DO NO COME HERE. TRIED TO CHARGE ME $25 COVID FEE. This is the most dishonest scammy dental practice I have ever been to. I came in for my yearly dental cleaning that is completely covered by insurance, expecting to pay nothing. They fail to tell you that at the end of your visit you will be charged $25 "PPE" fee that you have to pay everytime you visit. ??? Why would I ever come back? Their reasoning is because they are "OSHA Complaint". So you expect me to PAY for abiding by minimal federal regulations?? LOLOL. what a joke. A box of mask and lysol does not cost that much. Dr. Ramy Bahu was trying to hard sell me extra services and procedures during the visit. "Invisalign is only around $5,000+." "I think you need to get a few fillings here and there." I asked how much a filling would cost. "Not a lot, only about $40... for each filling." so 40 x a couple = hundreds. How entiteled and privileged do you have to be to define how much "a lot" means to someone. I'm going to get a second opinion on his diagnoses, won't be surprised if his diagnoses was embellised just so he can get some more cash.
