Strategic investment underscores commitment to advanced technology solutions built for dentists

Pearl, the global leader in dental AI solutions, today announced that the American Dental Association (ADA), the nation’s leading dental organization, has made a strategic investment in Pearl’s dental AI platform. The investment reflects the ADA’s commitment to supporting visionary companies whose disruptive technologies empower dental professionals to advance patient care and public health. The investment was led by the organization’s Innovation Advisory Committee, dedicated to identifying and supporting novel solutions that elevate dentistry.

“To evolve and serve the dental profession and the public, we focus on forward-thinking businesses that are re-envisioning the needs of the industry, both from a technology and clinical practice perspective,” said Roger Liew, Chair of the ADA’s Innovation Advisory Committee. “Investing in Pearl represents our ongoing commitment to transformational dentistry that positively impacts the industry as well as the oral and overall health of the public.”
