AI Dental Scribe for Periodontists
Document SRP, crown lengthening, gingivectomy, and implant procedures from the conversation. ButterNote generates complete periodontal notes so your charts are done before the next patient walks in.
How it works
Record the visit
Tap record on your iPhone or Apple Watch at the start of the appointment.
AI transcribes
On-device speech recognition converts your verbal documentation to text.
Generate perio note
AI structures a complete periodontal note with procedure specifics and findings.
Review and chart
Review the note, make edits, and paste directly into your EHR.
Quadrant-by-Quadrant Documentation
SRP notes need to capture which quadrants were treated, anesthesia used, instruments, and tissue response. ButterNote structures this accurately from your verbal documentation.
Scale Your Practice Without More Staff
Periodontal practices are documentation-heavy. ButterNote eliminates the need for a scribe at a fraction of the cost, with no scheduling complexity or training overhead.
Referral-Quality Records
Your notes go back to referring GPs. ButterNote generates professional, complete notes that reflect the quality of care you provide and support continuity with the referring practice.
Periodontal procedures supported
ButterNote generates structured notes for the full scope of periodontal practice:
- check_circleScaling and root planing — per quadrant (D4341/D4342)
- check_circleAdult prophylaxis and periodontal maintenance (D1110, D4910)
- check_circleCrown lengthening — hard tissue (D4249)
- check_circleGingivectomy / gingivoplasty (D4210/D4211)
Periodontal specialist visits involve longer conversations, more complex findings, and more detailed treatment narratives than most general dentistry appointments. ButterNote handles that complexity — capturing probing data, bone loss staging, tissue response, and surgical detail — so the note reflects the full scope of what happened at each visit.
Frequently asked questions
Can ButterNote document scaling and root planing by quadrant?
Yes. ButterNote understands quadrant-based periodontal procedures. When you verbally document which quadrants were treated, the AI generates separate or combined notes capturing the full SRP series accurately.
Does ButterNote support periodontal surgical procedure documentation?
Yes. Crown lengthening, gingivectomy, frenectomy, and osseous surgery are all supported. ButterNote generates structured surgical notes capturing pre-op diagnosis, procedure details, materials used, and post-op instructions.
How does ButterNote handle periodontal re-evaluation visits?
Re-evaluation visits (D4910, perio maintenance) generate appropriately different notes from initial SRP visits. ButterNote structures re-eval notes to reflect the continued care and tissue response since prior treatment.
