Episode notes
The Largest AI Deployment in UK Dentistry What happens when AI moves from experimentation to infrastructure across the UK's largest dental organisation? This is that conversation. What does it actually take to deploy AI at scale across a national dental network? Not in a pilot. Not in a handful of practices. Across an entire operating estate. In this episode, Dr Randeep Singh Gill sits down with Dr Nyree Whitley, Chief Clinical Officer at MyDentist, and Dr Gordon Barfield, Clinical Director at Overjet, to examine the most significant AI deployment in the history of UK dentistry. This is not a product conversation. It is a systems conversation. It covers the governance that had to be built before a single practice went live, the change management required across 3,000 clinicians, the liability questions no one in dentistry has formally answered yet, and what boards most dangerously misunderstand about AI risk. Gordon introduces the concept of the Diagnostic Consistency Index, a forward-looking metric he believes will define the highest-performing DSOs by 2030. Nyree explains why the patient education moment, not the clinical moment, is where AI creates its most immediate impact.
