Most dental X-rays get reviewed the same way they did 30 years ago by eye alone. At Westside Dental Center, we use Overjet AI, the FDA-cleared artificial intelligence platform in dentistry that can detect cavities and measure bone loss directly on your X-rays in real time. That means earlier catches, fewer surprises, and more confident decisions for you.

WHAT IS OVERJET AI?
What Is Overjet AI And Why Does It Matter for Your Teeth?
If you've ever left a dental appointment wondering whether everything was actually caught on your X-rays, you're not alone.
This is where AI comes into play. Now using Overjet, an FDA-cleared artificial intelligence (AI) platform that was purpose-built for dental diagnostics. It analyzes your X-rays in real time, automatically identifying and outlining areas of concern including early cavities, bone loss, calculus (hardened plaque), and periapical lesions and overlays those findings directly onto your images so both you and your dentist can see them clearly.
Note: Overjet AI is a diagnostic support tool. All clinical decisions are made by Dr. Uttma Dham, DMD.
HOW OVERJET AI WORKS AT WESTSIDE DENTAL CENTER?
Nothing changes about how your X-rays are captured. We use our existing digital radiography system to take your bitewing or periapical X-rays, just as we always have.
The moment your X-rays are captured, Overjet's AI engine goes to work. Within seconds, it scans each image, identifies areas of clinical interest, and generates precise visual annotations color-coded outlines around suspicious areas directly on the X-ray images.
Rather than reviewing your X-rays on a screen by herself and explaining findings to you from memory, Dr. Uttma Dham, DMD walks through the annotated images with you side by side.
Based on the findings alongside Dr. Uttma Dham's clinical experience, a treatment plan is designed specifically for your teeth.
WHAT OVERJET AI CAN DETECT?
Overjet is FDA-cleared to detect caries the technical term for tooth decay at both early and more advanced stages. Catching a cavity when it's small means a simple filling instead of a crown down the line. That's better for your teeth and better for your wallet.
Gum disease affects more adults than most people realize, and bone loss is often silent until it's significant. Overjet measures bone levels around each tooth and precisely shows if bone loss is present.
Calculus, or tartar, is hardened plaque that attaches to the tooth surface and can be difficult to spot without close examination. Overjet identifies and outlines calculus deposits on radiographs, supporting a more thorough cleaning and periodontal assessment.
Overjet also identifies existing fillings, crowns, and other restorations on your X-rays — creating a clear radiographic record that makes monitoring changes over time far more reliable.
Overjet is the only dental AI platform FDA-cleared for both caries detection and bone level measurement.
WHY AI DIAGNOSTICS MATTER FOR YOU
Earlier Detection = Simpler Treatment— The single biggest predictor of how complicated (and costly) dental treatment becomes is how early a problem is treated. A cavity found at Stage 1 is a filling. Found at Stage 3, it might be a crown or a root canal. Overjet's AI is specifically designed to catch issues earlier — and that changes outcomes.
Objective Findings You Can See for Yourself — One of the most common frustrations patients express about dentistry is not being able to truly understand what's going on. With Overjet, your X-rays have clear, AI-generated annotations on them. You're not taking anyone's word for it — you can see the finding with your own eyes.
More Confident Treatment Decisions — When Dr. Uttma Dham, DMD recommends a treatment, it's now backed by both her 15+ of clinical experience and objective AI-generated data. That combination is genuinely more powerful than either alone — and it's the standard of care we believe every patient in Plantation deserves.
