Performance Engine 01
Fragmented practice and financial data becomes executive-grade business intelligence, with CFO/COO-level visibility for a doctor-owned business.
Positioning

Why it matters
Financial, operational, revenue-cycle, payer and growth performance in one executive view rather than five vendor portals.
Provider productivity, hygiene performance, labor efficiency and location performance compared to relevant peer sets.
Every review surfaces quantified opportunities, owners and timelines — not a dashboard nobody opens.
Pento AI Insights™
Pento continuously analyzes financial, clinical, operational, payer, revenue-cycle and growth data — then tells the owner what happened, why it happened, what it is worth and what to do next.
Revenue Cycle
HighInsurance AR over 90 days increased 14% this month. Delta Dental and MetLife account for 61% of the increase.
Payer Performance
HighEffective reimbursement for crowns is 18% below comparable practices in your region.
Provider Productivity
MediumDoctor production per clinical hour is 11% below your peer benchmark, driven by lower restorative mix on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Hygiene
HighHygiene capacity is running at 76% of available chair time.
Treatment Acceptance
High$184,000 of diagnosed treatment remains unscheduled from the past 90 days.
Patient Reactivation
Medium427 active patients are overdue for hygiene.
RCM
HighFirst-pass claim acceptance has fallen below the Pento benchmark. Largest rejection category is missing attachments for periodontal procedures.
Staffing
MediumClinical payroll is 3.2 percentage points above comparable Pento practices.
Technology
WatchOverlapping functionality across three patient-communication platforms.
Growth
MediumCurrent new-patient demand supports approximately 1.3 additional doctor days per week without additional marketing spend.
What happened
The change detected in the practice this period.
Why it happened
The drivers behind the movement, isolated in the data.
What it is worth
A quantified financial impact, not a vague trend.
What to do next
A recommended action with an owner and a priority.
Pento Clinical Intelligence™ · 01
Pento helps practices access and implement leading AI-powered clinical decision-support technologies — then connects what they surface to the rest of the operating workflow.

Illustrative Clinical AI InterfaceIllustrative interface. Original artwork. Not a patient image, not diagnostic output, and not an FDA-cleared device. Clinical AI capability is delivered by third-party technologies evaluated and implemented with Pento.
Illustrative findings surfaced for clinician review
Potential interproximal caries
Radiolucency flagged for clinician review — #30 mesial
Bone level measurement
CEJ-to-crest 4.1 mm — distal #19

AI-assisted insights support — not replace — the treating dentist's clinical judgment. Pento does not diagnose caries, periodontal disease or any other condition.
Pento Clinical Intelligence™ · 02
Pento doesn't just help practices access AI. Pento connects clinical intelligence to the rest of the dental operating workflow.
Third-party clinical AI surfaces a radiographic observation for review.
The treating dentist evaluates the image, the patient and the clinical context.
Diagnosis is determined by the clinician — never by the platform.
Plan captured in the practice management system with codes and sequencing.
Findings translated into a chairside visual the patient can understand.
Coverage, remaining benefit and estimated patient responsibility surfaced.
Financing, scheduling and follow-up handled through Pento Growth.
Acceptance tracked by provider, procedure and presentation channel.
Production, collections and EBITDA impact measured in Pento Intelligence.
Pento Clinical Intelligence™ · 03
AI-assisted clinical tools can give dentists additional decision support and make radiographic findings easier for patients to understand.
Pento helps practices evaluate and implement appropriate clinical AI technology while keeping the dentist fully responsible for diagnosis and treatment decisions. The value compounds when those findings flow into benefit intelligence, treatment coordination and performance measurement.

Pento Clinical Intelligence™ · 05
A DSO doesn't only use AI to analyze one radiograph. Corporate clinical leadership studies aggregated patterns across providers and locations. Pento aims to give independent practices and emerging groups comparable visibility where technically, contractually and legally permitted.

Pento Insight
“Provider C's restorative treatment patterns differ materially from the peer benchmark. Consider clinical calibration and case review.”
Pento never overrules a clinician. Variation is surfaced as decision support so clinical leadership can investigate documentation habits, radiographic quality, scheduling patterns or genuine differences in patient population.
