Overjet AI: A Second Set of Expert Eyes on Every X-Ray
At Suburban Essex Dental, we use Overjet — the FDA-cleared, artificial-intelligence platform purpose-built to help dentists read X-rays more accurately. Every X-ray taken in our West Orange, NJ office is automatically analyzed by Overjet AI, giving Dr. Feldman a powerful second opinion that helps catch dental disease earlier and explain findings more clearly.
How Overjet AI Works
When a digital X-ray is captured, Overjet’s AI algorithms instantly review the image and highlight areas of decay, bone loss, calculus, and other findings, with measurements down to the millimeter. The AI has been trained on millions of dental X-rays and FDA-cleared for the detection of caries (cavities) and quantification of bone loss. Dr. Feldman reviews the AI’s analysis alongside his own clinical exam — never replacing the dentist’s judgment, but enhancing it.
Why This Matters for Your Health
Early detection is everything in dentistry. A small cavity caught early can often be treated conservatively; the same cavity caught a year later might require a crown or even a root canal. AI helps catch subtle changes — early demineralization, slight bone loss around an implant, hairline issues under existing restorations — that a busy clinician might otherwise miss. The result: less invasive treatment, lower long-term cost, and better outcomes.
Clearer Conversations About Your Care
Overjet also makes it easier for you to understand what’s happening in your mouth. Instead of a grainy X-ray and a verbal explanation, we can show you the AI’s color-coded overlay — exactly where decay is, exactly how much bone has been lost, exactly why a treatment is being recommended. Patients consistently tell us this transparency builds trust and makes treatment decisions easier.
The Best of Human and Machine
Combining Dr. Feldman’s 40+ years of clinical experience with Overjet’s AI gives our patients a level of diagnostic precision that simply wasn’t possible a few years ago.
