Pearl and RipeGlobal Partner to Transform Dental Excellence Worldwide Through AI-Powered Education and Clinical Intelligence
Integration provides global dental professionals with hands-on education and resources to effectively implement AI, elevate patient care, and optimize practice performance
April 2, 2026
“Integrating with Pearl allows us to help dentists not only understand AI technology, but also apply it in ways that elevate both the standard of care and the quality of their day-to-day operations.”
This partnership comes at a time when the dental industry is facing a critical challenge: While dental schools graduate competent clinicians, new dentists can only perform 6 percent of general dentistry procedures proficiently at graduation. This skills gap costs the industry billions in lost productivity and compromises patient care quality.Â
The collaboration combines Pearl’s expertise in AI-driven clinical innovation with RipeGlobal’s proven educational model to help dentists and their teams learn how to apply AI to elevate diagnostic accuracy, optimize practice operations, and enhance the patient experience. Through the partnership, all new and existing Pearl subscribers will receive six months of complimentary access to RipeGlobal’s premium educational features, enabling clinicians and staff to explore on-demand courses, live workshops, and community learning experiences focused on the effective use of AI in everyday practice.Â
The partnership will be particularly impactful for multi-location and enterprise dental groups, which often attract early career clinicians and face the enduring challenge of delivering standardized care across multiple dental offices. By integrating Pearl's FDA-cleared diagnostic AI with RipeGlobal's DSO essentials DAPPr (Dental Associate PowerUp Program) platform, the two companies are creating an unprecedented pathway for DSOs to empower their teams to achieve elite performance levels even when staffing clinics with recent dental school graduates.Â
“AI is transforming every aspect of dentistry from diagnosis and case presentation to patient communication and operational efficiency. Practitioners gain an outsized advantage by becoming fluent in AI; that AI fluency is what we are delivering with RipeGlobal,” said Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl. “Our partnership with RipeGlobal creates a new standard where AI-enhanced diagnostics and elite training converge, ensuring that dental professionals everywhere can confidently adopt AI and transform both their performance and patient outcomes.”
RipeGlobal’s immersive learning environment will serve as a foundation for equipping Pearl users and the wider dental community with the practical understanding necessary to integrate AI tools into clinical and administrative workflows. The initiative will include new courses and live education events centered on AI literacy, adoption strategies, and measurable outcomes in dental practice performance.
“When it comes to AI, knowledge is the bridge between innovation and impact. To that end, this partnership represents a quantum leap in dental education technology,” said Dr. Lincoln Harris, Founder and CEO of RipeGlobal. “Integrating with Pearl allows us to help dentists not only understand AI technology, but also apply it in ways that elevate both the standard of care and the quality of their day-to-day operations.”
