VJ, (founder of 21D): This AI Dentistry System Replaces Teeth in 2 Hours | DSH #1771

We’re at the AI4 Conference with VJ, founder of 21D (21st Century Dentistry) — and the numbers he shares are hard to ignore. VJ explains how full-mouth restoration used to take months, multiple surgical visits, and complicated steps — but with modern workflows and AI-driven planning, it can now be done in about 2 hours with precision down to 10 microns. He breaks down how their system uses CT scans, intraoral scans, and 3D face scans to build a complete digital model, run biomechanics calculations, and show patients exactly what’s happening, what’s possible, and why — in a way that reduces fear and increases transparency. We also get into the bigger mission: making this care more accessible, expanding into the U.S., and using AI to shift healthcare toward early diagnostics and prevention, not surprise treatment.
