Veneer

Works with Open Dental

Tell it what you need. Veneer enters it in Open Dental.

Veneer sits on top of the software your office already runs. Ask for a chart entry, a note or a follow-up, and watch it fill in. Nothing saves until you approve it.

Runs on your office PCs. No migration, no new chart to learn.

Veneer’s voice bar at the bottom of the chart screen, transcribing a spoken request to chart a composite, plan a crown and book a follow-up.The plan for review: a completed procedure on tooth 14, a crown added to the treatment plan for tooth 19 and a follow-up booking, each with its details.Veneer typing into the Enter Treatment form while a progress panel shows one change verified, one being entered and one up next, with a Stop button.The chart after saving, with a confirmation that three changes were saved and verified, an Undo button and a list of background tasks.

Open Dental is powerful. It’s also a lot of clicking.

Every chart entry, note and booking is a trip through menus and dialogs, often with gloves on and a patient in the chair. Veneer turns that into one sentence and one approval.

How it works

One request, four steps, all on the screen you already use.

  1. Veneer’s voice bar at the bottom of the chart screen, transcribing a spoken request to chart a composite, plan a crown and book a follow-up.

    Ask for it

    Press F9 and type what you need. Voice and a foot pedal are on the way. Veneer knows which patient and screen you’re on.

  2. The plan for review: a completed procedure on tooth 14, a crown added to the treatment plan for tooth 19 and a follow-up booking, each with its details.

    Check the plan

    See exactly what will change: tooth, surfaces, code, fee, time slot. Approve it, edit it or cancel.

  3. Veneer typing into the Enter Treatment form while a progress panel shows one change verified, one being entered and one up next, with a Stop button.

    Watch it work

    Veneer fills in Open Dental’s own screens while you watch. Say “stop” at any point.

  4. The chart after saving, with a confirmation that three changes were saved and verified, an Undo button and a list of background tasks.

    Saved and checked

    Veneer reads the result back from Open Dental to confirm it saved correctly, with undo where Open Dental allows it.

Charting

Chart by tooth and surface in one sentence.

“Completed MOD composite on 14, crown planned on 19.” Veneer turns that into the right codes from your own procedure list and shows the fee before anything posts.

  • Completed, planned or existing work
  • Surfaces checked against each tooth
  • Ledger charge shown before you approve
A tooth chart with tooth 14 marked as a completed MOD composite and tooth 19 marked for a planned crown, beside a “Review before saving” card listing both procedures with their codes and fees, $185.00 added to the ledger and $1,150.00 estimated, and Approve, Edit and Cancel buttons.

Nothing saves without your OK.

Veneer was built for clinical records first and speed second. These rules are enforced in the software, not left to the AI.

  • You approve the exact change

    The plan you see is the plan that runs. If anything differs, it stops.

  • Right patient, every time

    It checks the patient ID on screen before every entry, and asks when two names look alike.

  • Verified after saving

    Each change is read back from Open Dental. A mismatch is shown, never hidden.

  • Things it will never do

    Sign notes, send claims, post payments, edit fees or delete patients.

  • Your login stays yours

    Veneer never sees or stores Open Dental passwords. It works as the person signed in.

  • A record of everything

    Every action is logged with a screenshot, and every note it writes is marked “via Veneer.”

Coming next

What we’re building now. Founding practices get each one first.

  • A voice bar transcribing “Book her back in three weeks with Dr. Lee, afternoon if possible,” above cards for a foot pedal (hold to talk, tap to approve) and a headset or F9 key.

    In development

    Voice and a foot pedal

    Hold the pedal, say what you need, tap to approve. Built for gloved hands and a patient in the chair.

  • A perio exam grid for the upper right with “Four, three, five, bleeding” spoken for tooth 3, the depths 4, 3 and 5 filled in, a bleeding point marked and the read-back shown.

    In development

    Perio charting by voice

    Call out depths and bleeding as you probe. Veneer fills the grid and reads each tooth back to you.

  • A photo of a sample dental insurance card next to an “Add insurance” card with the carrier, subscriber, member ID, group number and plan filled in, and an Approve button.

    In development

    Insurance from a card photo

    Snap the card at the front desk. Veneer fills in the plan details and waits for your OK.

  • A Background panel listing insurance entry running, two claims flagged for review, hygiene appointments queued and recall reminders done.

    In development

    Background work

    Hand off routine entry and keep working. Veneer runs it out of sight and flags anything that needs a person.

Questions

Does Veneer replace Open Dental?

No. Open Dental stays your system of record. Veneer fills in its screens for you, the same way your team would.

What can it do today?

Find and open patients, book and cancel appointments, add clinical notes, and chart procedures by tooth and surface.

How is patient information handled?

Veneer runs on your office PCs. To understand requests it uses an AI service, and we sign a business associate agreement with every practice before any real patient data is involved.

Do we need new hardware?

No. It runs on the Windows PCs you already have. A headset and a USB foot pedal are optional for hands-free use.

What if it gets something wrong?

You see the plan before anything saves, and Veneer checks every result. If something doesn’t match, it stops and shows you.

We don’t use Open Dental.

Tell us what you run in the form. Support for more practice software is planned.
