What Pearl Artificial Intelligence Can Detect
At The Foleck Center, our integration of Pearl AI with modern dental technology allows for advanced diagnostic precision that enhances every stage of restorative dentistry. Using FDA-cleared artificial intelligence, Pearl AI scans and interprets your digital X-rays with exceptional clarity—identifying even subtle changes invisible to the human eye. This artificial intelligence tool supports your dentist’s clinical expertise, ensuring that every patient in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, and across the Hampton Roads region receives an accurate and confident diagnosis for early intervention and long-term oral wellness.

Bone loss or density changes that affect tooth stability
Root infections that may compromise oral health
Jawbone changes related to bite alignment or tooth loss
- Other potential oral health concerns requiring restorative dentistry or preventive treatment
