Dental Monitoring

The most value
per visit.

Dental Monitoring is an app that lets Dr. Sytek check your teeth from your phone, so you spend more time living your life and less time in our chair.

The system, explained

How Dental Monitoring works.

You get a small scanbox that fits over your phone camera. Once a week, you take a quick guided scan of your teeth from home. The app's AI reviews it, and so does Dr. Sytek. If everything's on track, you carry on. If something needs attention, she catches it early and tells you what to do.

A scanbox for your phone

We set you up at your appointment and show you how to use it. It clips onto your phone camera and guides each scan.

AI plus a real doctor

The app's AI flags anything unusual, but Dr. Sytek reviews the scans herself. You're not being watched by software alone.

The only one in the area

We're the only practice in the immediate area using it. For families driving in from Hillman, Rogers City, or further out, that changes how treatment fits into your life.

How Dr. Sytek uses it

Not a gimmick, part of the plan.

Dental Monitoring lets me evaluate remotely on a weekly basis. That is like a weekly appointment without you having to come into the office. It lets me cheer you on, but also be your coach for better brushing and rubber band wear. It means we are reachable around the clock for questions and concerns. Fewer trips, and more value out of every in-office appointment.

The patient experience

What it looks like for you.

For families in Hubbard Lake, Hillman, Rogers City, and the towns further out, this can mean the difference between a monthly drive and a couple of key visits a year.

  1. Get your scanbox

    We set you up and show you how to scan at your first appointment. It takes a few minutes to get comfortable with it.

  2. Scan weekly from home

    A guided scan of your teeth from wherever you are. It takes a couple of minutes and slots easily into your week.

  3. Get feedback

    The app and Dr. Sytek review each scan. You hear back if anything needs adjusting, and you can message us with questions anytime.

  4. Come in only when it counts

    In-person visits happen when they'll actually make a difference, not on a rigid calendar. Your time and gas count for something.
