From complex assessment to approved note

Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you assess the wear, work through the plan and explain a long course of treatment, it writes the record in the background, so a patient facing major rehabilitation gets you, not the top of your head over a keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

The case that holds
under scrutiny

  • Sequencing justified

    Why the cause was stabilised first and why posterior support preceded the anteriors, the reasoning behind the order on record.

  • Multidisciplinary handovers logged

    What you referred for and what came back across periodontics, endodontics and the laboratory, captured as the plan unfolds.

  • Staged consent captured

    What the patient agreed to at each phase of a years-long rehabilitation, recorded contemporaneously and revisited after the trial.

Holding the complex case together

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, diagnosis, full-mouth planning and sequencing, options and staged consent, where published audits show conventional records routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

Audits referenced: Cole & McMichael (Primary Dental Care, 2009), Hayes et al (Dental Update, 2017) and, on radiograph evaluation under IR(ME)R, a hospital audit (Kiu et al, Clinical Radiology, 2010).

    Ask Note Dr, Gerald Whitcombe
    What did we plan for Gerald's tooth wear, and what has he consented to so far?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the complex assessment on 2 June, Gerald was diagnosed with severe multifactorial tooth wear, worst on the upper anteriors. You recommended a staged, reorganised full-mouth rehabilitation at an increased vertical dimension, having discussed monitoring and a localised approach. Consent was recorded for the diagnostic and stabilisation phase, with definitive consent to be revisited after the trial, and the bite changes, biological cost and lifelong maintenance explained.

    The evidence for
    complex care, to hand

    For severe tooth wear, hypodontia management or restoration at an increased vertical dimension, Note Dr surfaces the relevant guidance from bodies like the British Society for Restorative Dentistry and the published literature, with the source cited. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why restorative dentists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    Complex plans, fully captured

    Dr Anita R

    Full-mouth cases used to take me an age to write up. Now the diagnosis, the aetiology, the sequencing across periodontics and prosthodontics, and every option are written while I talk to the patient. The transcription holds up even with suction running, and I edit and approve in seconds.

    ★★★★★

    Staged consent, always on record

    Dr Callum H

    Long courses of treatment live and die by consent at each phase. Note Dr logs what the patient agreed to at every stage, and revisits it after the trial, so the consent trail through the whole rehabilitation is always there.

    ★★★★★

    Patients facing big treatment get my full attention

    Dr Imogen S

    Someone weighing up a year of treatment doesn't want me typing. Now I can assess, plan and explain, and the complex assessment is still written in full. It has genuinely changed how these consultations feel.

    ★★★★★

    Sequencing I can defend

    Dr Marcus E

    The order of treatment matters in these cases, and now it is documented, why we stabilised the cause first, why posterior support came before the anteriors. When records are reviewed, the reasoning reads exactly as it should.

    ★★★★★

    Hypodontia and oncology cases, captured in full

    Dr Yusuf D

    My hardest mouths, hypodontia rehabilitations and patients restored after head and neck cancer, span years and multiple teams. Note Dr keeps the whole story in one place, the referrals, the dependencies, the consent, without me thinking about it.

    My records have never told the story this clearly: the diagnosis, the sequencing, the multidisciplinary handovers and the staged consent, all in one thread. For a years-long rehabilitation, that coherence is everything when a case is reviewed.

    Restorative dentist FAQs

    Is an AI scribe GDC-compliant for dental record keeping?

    Note Dr helps restorative dentists keep the contemporaneous, complete and accurate records the GDC expects, drafting the presenting complaint in the patient's own words, the diagnosis, the options and the staged consent as the appointment happens. It does not replace your judgement: you review and approve every note before it reaches the record, so the account of care stays yours.

    How do I document treatment planning and sequencing for a complex restorative case?

    Note Dr records the whole plan as you talk it through: the diagnosis, the options weighed, and the sequence you chose, why aetiology is stabilised first, why periodontal and endodontic work precedes definitive restoration. The rationale behind the order is captured contemporaneously, so a long rehabilitation reads as one coherent record.

    Can I use an AI scribe without integrating it with my dental software?

    Yes. Note Dr works alongside any practice management system rather than plugging into it, so there is nothing to integrate and no restorative record leaves your control. It drafts the full-mouth rehabilitation note, treatment plan or peri-implant review, and once you have reviewed and approved it, you paste or export the finished note straight into the patient's chart.

    How does it handle consent for long, staged restorative treatment?

    Note Dr logs consent phase by phase: the options and costs set out, the risks explained, bite changes, biological cost, restoration failure, lifelong maintenance, and the time given to consider before commencing. It records that definitive consent is revisited after the trial, so the consent trail follows the patient through years of care.

    Can it record tooth-wear management and a monitored, reorganised approach?

    Yes. Note Dr captures the tooth-wear assessment and grading, the aetiology you identified, erosion, attrition or parafunction, and whether you are monitoring, repairing or reorganising at an increased vertical dimension. The diagnostic wax-up, trial phase and the patient's adaptation are documented at each visit, so progression is tracked over time.

    Does it document multidisciplinary liaison across periodontics, endodontics and the laboratory?

    Yes. When a rehabilitation spans specialties, Note Dr records who you referred to, what you asked for and what came back: periodontal stabilisation, endodontic prognosis, orthodontic alignment, laboratory prescriptions. The handover points and dependencies in the treatment sequence are written down, so the coordinated plan is auditable end to end.

    Can it write implant and hypodontia reconstruction records to my templates?

    Yes. Note Dr drafts implant-based reconstruction notes, restorative-driven planning, hypodontia space management, peri-implant review and prosthesis maintenance, with radiograph justification and marginal bone comparison against baseline. Each note follows your own template and is reviewed and approved by you before it reaches the patient record.
