General dentists document 15–25 patients per day. Every minute spent on notes at the end of an appointment adds up to hours stolen from your evening. ButterNote listens during the visit and generates the note before the patient leaves the chair. The AI understands general dentistry workflows. It recognizes tooth numbers in Universal and Palmer notation and structures output for your preferred note format.
Frequently asked questions
Does ButterNote work with general dentistry procedures?
Yes. ButterNote's AI is trained on the full range of general dentistry procedures: composites, amalgam, crown preps, buildups, prophys, exams, sealants, and more. It recognizes ADA procedure codes and dental terminology used in everyday general practice.
Can I use ButterNote if I run a solo private practice?
Absolutely. Solo and small-group private practices are exactly who ButterNote is built for, and they are where it counts most, because there is nobody else to hand the documenting to. One subscription covers your entire documentation workflow. No per-note fees, no per-staff licenses.
How does ButterNote handle multi-procedure visits?
When a patient has multiple procedures in one visit (a prophy plus two composites, for example), ButterNote captures the full conversation and generates a single coherent note covering all procedures performed.
