Why Choose Us
We craft a custom AI model that analyzes your historical procedure data, patient visit patterns, and external factors like local health trends. Unlike off-the-shelf tools that ignore dental-specific nuances, our solution predicts demand for everything from gloves to X-ray films with pinpoint accuracy. It's flexible, scalable, and owned by you—no endless subscriptions.
What Makes Us Different:
Proven Benefits for Your Dental Practice
Minimize Waste and Maximize Efficiency
Our forecasting cuts expired supply waste by 35%, based on industry benchmarks from dental and ambulatory surgery centers using similar AI. Imagine redirecting those savings—up to $12,000 annually—to advanced diagnostic tools like digital X-ray systems or specialized staff training in infection control, ensuring your facility operates with precision and minimal downtime.
HIPAA-Safe and Regulatory Compliant
Built with patient privacy at the core, our system encrypts all inventory data end-to-end using AES-256 standards. Dental and medical practices report 100% audit success under HIPAA and OSHA guidelines, avoiding fines that average $50,000 for non-compliance. Focus on patient care, not endless documentation for Joint Commission reviews.
Boost Cash Flow with Optimal Stock Levels
Predict demand to avoid overstocking, freeing up to 25% of your budget tied in unused inventory such as excess vaccine doses or suture kits. One ambulatory clinic saw $20,000 in recovered capital within six months, enabling investments in patient-centric upgrades like electronic health record enhancements or telemedicine integration.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd run out of bonding agents and composite resins mid-week, delaying restorative crowns and frustrating patients during peak seasons. Their custom forecast integrated seamlessly with our Dentrix software and cut our material shortages by 60% in just three months. It's like having a dedicated supply chain expert on staff without the salary overhead."
Dr. Emily Chen
Lead Dentist, SmileCare Clinic
"Manual tracking was a nightmare during flu season—masks and flu vaccines stockpiled everywhere but not where we needed them for urgent care visits. Now, the AI predicts based on our appointment logs and historical patient data, and we've saved over $8,000 on expired waste this year. Implementation was smooth, and it's fully HIPAA-compliant with automated audit trails."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, Coastal Dental Group
"We were overstocked on nitrile gloves and orthodontic brackets post-pandemic, tying up cash we needed for new intraoral scanners. AIQ's system analyzed our ortho procedures, seasonal adolescent patient influxes, and supplier lead times, reducing excess inventory by 45%. Patients notice the streamlined workflows, and our team loves the real-time mobile alerts for reorders."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting ensure HIPAA compliance in dental practices?
We design every component with HIPAA in mind, using end-to-end encryption for all data flows between your EHR and our AI models. Patient-related procedure data that influences forecasts is anonymized and access-logged. In our builds, we've helped practices pass audits without issues, as the system generates compliance reports automatically. This regulatory awareness prevents the $1.5 million average fine for breaches, letting you focus on care. Implementation includes a compliance review with your legal team.
What makes this different from generic inventory software for dental offices?
Generic tools apply retail logic, ignoring dental realities like unpredictable emergency extractions or seasonal whitening demands. Our custom AI is built around your workflow—analyzing appointment types, supplier variabilities, and even local flu patterns. For instance, it predicts composite needs based on your crown schedules, achieving 40% better accuracy than off-the-shelf options. We own the code, so it's flexible for your growth, not locked into a vendor's template.
How quickly can we see results after implementation?
Most practices notice improvements within the first month. After data mapping, we deploy a baseline model that starts forecasting immediately. One clinic reduced stockouts by 50% in week four by integrating with their scheduling software. Full optimization takes 60-90 days as the AI learns from real-time data, but you'll get quick wins like automated alerts reducing manual checks by 15 hours weekly right away.
Can this system handle multi-location dental practices?
Absolutely. We scale the AI to consolidate data across sites, factoring in location-specific demands like urban vs. rural patient volumes. For a three-office group, we built unified forecasts that balanced central stocking while alerting individual sites for locals like implants. It integrates with shared EHRs, ensuring HIPAA compliance across the board, and provides location-based dashboards for managers.
What data do you need to build the forecasting model?
We start with your historical inventory logs, procedure codes from EHR, supplier invoices, and appointment calendars. No sensitive patient PII is required— we use aggregated trends. If you have sales data on prosthetics or orthodontics, that's gold. Our team handles secure data import, anonymizing everything. Practices typically provide 12-24 months of data for robust training, ensuring predictions align with your unique rhythms.
How do you handle unexpected events like supply chain disruptions?
Our models incorporate external variables, pulling from reliable sources on global dental supply issues without compromising security. For example, during shortages, it simulates scenarios and suggests alternatives, like swapping vendors for gloves. A client navigated a 2023 resin shortage by rerouting forecasts, avoiding procedure delays. We also build in buffers for emergencies, customizable to your risk tolerance.
