Pearl and Seattle Study Club have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at expanding clinician education on the practical application of artificial intelligence throughout dental practices.
Under the agreement, Pearl will serve as a Gold Tier partner and collaborate with Seattle Study Club through educational programming, conference participation, and clinical content initiatives. The organizations said the effort is designed to help dentists understand how AI can be implemented across examinations, patient communication, scheduling, documentation, insurance workflows, and practice operations.
According to the announcement, the partnership is based on a shared belief that the future of dentistry depends not only on technological advancement but also on clinician education focused on integrating new technologies into patient care.
The organizations noted that while AI adoption in dentistry continues to grow, many practices still need guidance on implementation, workflow integration, and clinical best practices. The partnership is intended to address those needs through educational experiences centered on real-world application, clinical excellence, and operational outcomes.
“At Seattle Study Club, we believe exceptional dentistry starts with continuous learning,” said Gary Dickenson, CEO of Seattle Study Club. “AI is becoming an increasingly important part of modern practice, dentistry needs meaningful education around how these technologies support better care, stronger patient communication, and more efficient practice operations. Pearl brings both the technological leadership and the practical perspective to help make that education valuable for our members.”
Pearl, founded in 2019, develops dental AI technologies designed to support patient care and practice workflows. The company said its platform supports clinical decision-making, patient understanding, imaging quality assurance, insurance preparation, documentation workflows, and operational intelligence. Pearl also noted that its AI technology has received regulatory clearance in 120 countries.
The company said its approach to embedding AI within everyday workflows is intended to help practices improve diagnostic confidence, standardize communication, reduce administrative burden, and create a more connected experience for clinicians and patients.
“Dentistry reaches its highest standard when great clinicians are equipped with both powerful tools and the education to use them well,” said Ophir Tanz. “Seattle Study Club has built one of the most trusted educational communities in dentistry, and we’re excited to work together to help clinicians better understand how AI can elevate every aspect of practice, not just diagnostics, but the broader systems that support exceptional patient care.”
Seattle Study Club, founded in 1992 by Dr. Michael Cohen, provides dental education through a global network that offers hands-on learning opportunities, case discussions, and access to speakers from across the profession.
The organizations said they will deliver educational initiatives throughout the year focused on helping dental professionals navigate the evolving role of AI in dentistry while maintaining an emphasis on clinical judgment, patient trust, and practical implementation.
