AI is everywhere right now, but most of what oral and maxillofacial surgeons hear about it is vague, overhyped or completely irrelevant to how an OMS practice actually operates day to day. This session is different. Instead of theory and buzzwords, the speaker will walk through the specific, practical ways AI is already being used inside real OMS practices to save time, reduce administrative burden and improve patient flow. The session will cover how AI can help with faster clinical documentation so notes get completed the same day instead of piling up after hours. Attendees will learn how practices are using AI to tighten the gap between referral received and patient scheduled, reducing the leakage that silently kills production. The speaker will show how automated insurance verification and claims workflows are cutting days off collection cycles. And he will speak honestly about what AI can’t do yet, so you can separate the tools worth adopting from the ones that are still just marketing slides.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Identify practical AI applications that reduce administrative workload in an OMS practice without requiring technical expertise.
Understand how AI-assisted documentation can improve same-day operative note completion and reduce after-hours charting.
Evaluate which AI tools are ready for real-world OMS adoption versus which are still unproven.
Develop a simple framework for introducing AI into an existing practice workflow without disrupting current operations.
