Trust AI Secures $6M for AI Dental Platform Isaac
Trust AI, an innovative AI-first dental technology company, has officially emerged from stealth, announcing a substantial $6 million in seed funding. This significant investment, touted as the largest seed round ever secured by a dental technology startup, propels Trust AI’s mission to fundamentally transform the dental industry with its specialized AI platform, Isaac. The funding, which was oversubscribed in just 45 days, comes from a strategic consortium of dental industry leaders, including Wehrle Implant Immersion Center, Goetze Dental, Rockwood Programs, and a network of dentists collectively representing over $100 million in practice revenues. This investor composition underscores a deep understanding of the industry’s critical needs and a strong belief in Trust AI’s solution.
At its core, Trust AI aims to address pervasive challenges within dentistry, notably the administrative burden, fragmented workflows, and the alarming exodus of over 7,000 dentists annually, often attributed to burnout and outdated technology. Co-founder Dr. Divian Patel articulated this frustration, stating that dentistry was never intended to navigate a “maze of disconnected apps, endless logins and fragmented workflows,” a chaotic landscape Isaac is designed to simplify. The company’s vision is to rebuild dentistry itself, enabling practitioners to dedicate more time to patient care by offloading complex administrative and clinical tasks to AI.
Isaac, hailed as the “ChatGPT for dentists,” is the world’s first dental-specialized large language model (LLM). This intelligent platform acts as a real-time clinical partner, offering an array of advanced functionalities. It provides sophisticated diagnostic support, analyzes radiographic images, assists with personalized treatment planning, streamlines insurance verification, and automates various administrative tasks. Available 24/7 via web, voice call, or even WhatsApp, Isaac allows dentists to engage in intelligent conversations about complex patient cases, ask follow-up questions, and refine their treatment decisions with nuanced, context-aware insights. Unlike general AI, Isaac is meticulously trained on vast amounts of dental literature, clinical protocols, and real-world case studies, ensuring its recommendations are evidence-based and clinically relevant.
The platform has already demonstrated remarkable traction since its quiet launch. In just weeks, over 3,000 dentists have adopted Isaac, with approximately 500 new users joining weekly, driven entirely by word-of-mouth referrals. This rapid adoption signals a significant shift within the dental sector, with Trust AI positioning itself to become the industry standard by 2026, democratizing access to advanced clinical intelligence by offering its core platform free globally.
Trust AI was founded by a trio of visionary leaders: Dr. Bernard Casse, CEO and an experienced AI entrepreneur with a background spanning Silicon Valley; Dr. Divian Patel, a clinical founder and multi-site dental practice owner in both the UK and US; and Dr. Shervin Molayem, a renowned Beverly Hills periodontist and dental tech advocate with 15 years of clinical experience. Their combined expertise in deep technology and hands-on clinical care provides a unique foundation for developing solutions that truly meet the industry’s needs.
This infusion of capital and the rapid embrace of Isaac align with broader industry developments where artificial intelligence is increasingly revolutionizing dental care. From enhancing diagnostic accuracy to enabling more personalized treatment plans and streamlining practice management, AI is poised to elevate patient outcomes and overall efficiency. As Dr. Shervin Molayem aptly puts it, “Smart dentists aren’t worried about AI taking their jobs. They’re worried about being the last practice in town without it.” Trust AI’s Isaac represents not a replacement for dental professionals, but a powerful augmentation, designed to empower them to deliver superior, more consistent care and restore trust in a profession grappling with evolving demands.
