CATEGORY 46 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST Cosmetic dentistry is experiencing a technological breakthrough, with artificial intelligence (AI) already transforming how treatment plans are designed and executed. Today, dental professionals are harnessing AI-powered tools to analyse patient records and digital data, generate hyper-realistic smile simulations, and streamline workflows, creating a more precise, efficient, and personalised patient experience. This shift is not a distant possibility – it is happening now, reshaping the way cosmetic dentistry is practiced across the globe. Current AI innovations allow practitioners to design treatment plans that seamlessly integrate facial structure, dental proportions, and individual patient goals. Advanced algorithms can predict outcomes with remarkable accuracy, empowering patients to visualise their future smiles and make informed decisions with greater confidence. The next evolution in cosmetic dental care is to ensure objective options are provided to the patient. These options must be impartial autonomous and are tailored to the wants and needs of the patient. The clinicians’ challenges are not to be influenced by slick third party AI driven software providers with self-interest and/or financial bias to the treatment outcome provided. The clinician needs to uphold the best interest of the patient in demonstrating the pros and cons of all treatment modalities with software that is unbiased and balanced. The limitations in doing so may be that current software providers breakthroughs have been created by major corporations with an objective to not only assist the patient – clinician engagement but to influence their products to do so. There are many current examples of this in the dental implant world and clear aligner world where visualisation of outcomes is based on tools provided by the product being recommended. Our responsibility is to create visual informed consent that transcends treatment modality bias for new technology. This article delves into how AI is revolutionising cosmetic dentistry today and imagines the exciting advancements that lie ahead with patient focus principles for predicable and autonomous visual informed consent. Currently we are seeing AI generated software that are product driven like Invisalign with their smile architect and DSD or digital smile design or smile-fy. These products are revolutionising the digital workflow and patient presentations. But these products a product bias. There is self-interest to promote clear aligner or orthodontic or restorative or veneer workflows solutions. There is no software that can assist and promote the end in mind then allow objective and transparent multi-disciplinary treatment options without commercial bias. Smile Geni is an example of an autonomous software to provide an AI generated smile simulation within seconds. Using advanced AI algorithms, Smile Geni can instantly enhance the patient’s smile to optimal facial aesthetic in seconds. Smile Geni allows the clinician to create an emotional connection with their patients to visualise their optimal potential smile transformation before undergoing any procedures. Smile Geni is easy to use within seconds. Simply upload a “selfie” photo of the patient’s face with a smile and let our AI technology do the rest.
