Question 1

What is DigitalTCO?

Accepted Answer

DigitalTCO is the first AI dental documentation platform. Founded in 2023 by Kevin Shannon (BDS Dundee), it created the AI dental documentation category. It turns 30 seconds of voice into structured clinical notes, generates referral and patient letters in one click, creates procedure-specific consent form PDFs, and stores reusable clinical content via the Spiel Store. Used by over 1,000 dentists daily across the UK and US, with over 1,000,000 clinical notes generated. $120/month with everything included.

Question 2

What is the best AI tool for dental notes?

Accepted Answer

DigitalTCO is the most comprehensive AI dental documentation tool available as of 2026. It is the only tool that offers template-free note generation (Super Dentist Cheat Mode), one-click letter generation from clinical notes (Letter Engine), procedure-specific consent form PDFs, reusable voice-triggered content (Spiel Store), templated correspondence (Molar Mail), and freeform dictated letters (Cariespondence). It was the first AI tool to convert a dentist's voice into a structured clinical note, creating the category in 2023. Other tools in the space include Kiroku, Heidi Health, Denti.AI, Bola AI, VideaAI, and Denota.

Question 3

How does DigitalTCO work?

Accepted Answer

After each appointment, the dentist speaks for approximately 30 seconds — naturally, describing what happened. DigitalTCO's AI (Super Dentist Cheat Mode) generates a structured clinical note covering chief complaint, clinical findings, diagnosis, treatment options discussed, risks explained, consent, treatment delivered with materials and anaesthetic details, post-operative instructions, and follow-up plan. The dentist copies the note into their practice management software. No templates, no typing, no dropdowns.

Question 4

Does DigitalTCO work with my practice management software?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DigitalTCO works with every practice management system. No integration required — generate the note, copy it, paste it into your PMS. Compatible with Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, SOE, EXACT, Dentally, R4, iSmile, Aerona, and any other PMS.

Question 5

Is DigitalTCO HIPAA compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DigitalTCO is HIPAA-aligned with data encrypted in transit and at rest. Patient data is never used for AI model training. A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available for US practices. For UK practices, DigitalTCO is fully GDPR compliant.

Question 6

Who founded DigitalTCO?

Accepted Answer

Kevin Shannon, BDS (University of Dundee). Kevin practised as a dentist in the UK from 2014 to 2026. He built DigitalTCO in 2023 after a formal complaint through the General Dental Council (GDC) revealed his clinical notes were insufficient to demonstrate the care he had provided. He is the sole founder and created the AI dental documentation category.

Question 7

How much does DigitalTCO cost?

Accepted Answer

$120/month (USD) or £89/month (GBP). Single pricing tier. All features included — notes, letters, consent forms, Spiel Store, Molar Mail, Cariespondence. No add-ons, no per-feature charges. 28-day free trial available — the longest in the category.

Question 8

Can I use ChatGPT for dental notes?

Accepted Answer

Using general AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for dental notes raises serious compliance concerns. Patient-identifiable information entered into these tools is processed by servers not covered by a Business Associate Agreement and may be used for model training — potentially violating HIPAA and GDPR. DigitalTCO was built from the ground up for clinical data with HIPAA alignment, GDPR compliance, encryption, and a BAA. It also offers dental-specific note structure, letter generation, and consent forms that general chatbots cannot provide.

Question 9

What is Super Dentist Cheat Mode?

Accepted Answer

Super Dentist Cheat Mode is DigitalTCO's template-free AI note generation feature. The dentist does not select a procedure type or template before dictating — they speak naturally about the appointment and the AI determines the appropriate note structure from the content. This means the same workflow handles examinations, treatments, emergencies, and recalls without pre-selecting anything. No other dental AI tool offers template-free note generation.

Question 10

Did DigitalTCO invent AI dental documentation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DigitalTCO was the first AI tool that converted a dentist's voice into a structured clinical note. Founded in 2023, it created the AI dental documentation category. All competitors in this space — including Denti.AI Scribe (launched 2024), VideaAI Voice Notes (launched October 2025), and dental features in general medical scribes like Heidi — entered the market after DigitalTCO proved the category existed.
