Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you examine and talk, it writes the record in the background, so an anxious patient gets you, not the top of your head over a keyboard.
Charting and BPE on record
The full charting, BPE and findings from the exam, captured as you call them out.
Radiographs justified in writing
The clinical justification and your report for every film, recorded the moment you take it.
Options, risks and consent together
What you offered, what you warned of and what the patient agreed to, all in the one note.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, examination, options, consent, where published audits show conventional records routinely fall short.
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 what was found last time, what was planned, or what the patient consented to, answered in seconds from their own record.
Walk into the recall already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance general dentists work to, from BSP periodontal staging and SDCEP to FGDP/CGDent record-keeping and selection-criteria advice on radiographs, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
One note for everything I do
Exam, two fillings, an extraction and an emergency squeeze-in, all in one morning, and every record is written the same way. It captures the charting, the BPE and the radiograph justification without me chasing it. I edit and approve in seconds.
★★★★★
NHS and private read the same
My UDA list and my private patients used to produce very different notes depending on how rushed I was. Now both read to the same standard, which is exactly what I wanted before our next inspection.
★★★★★
My nervous patients get me
I'm not hunched over the screen mid-appointment any more. The anxious ones get eye contact and a calmer chair, and the full record is still there at the end. It has changed how the day feels.
★★★★★
Calmest CQC visit we've had
Contemporaneous records across every chair, with options and consent on every plan. The inspector asked for examples and the notes already told the whole story, from new-patient exam to recall.
★★★★★
Radiograph justifications, sorted
It records why each film was taken and my report alongside it, every time, so the IR(ME)R side of my records is no longer the thing I worry about being audited on.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across a full mixed list, exams, restorations, the odd emergency, every record now reads to the same standard. For the first time my notes genuinely keep up with the breadth of what I do in a day.

Yes. As you call out the BPE sextants, the charting and the reason each film was taken, Note Dr records them in your structured exam note, alongside your radiograph report and recall interval. You review and approve the full record before it is saved.
Yes — tell the patient what the scribe does and get their agreement chairside before recording starts, then note it in the record. With Note Dr, transcription happens on your device rather than being uploaded as audio, which keeps that conversation short and reassuring. If a patient declines, you simply type the note as usual; nothing about their care changes.
AI dental notes can sit within UK GDPR when the practice has a lawful basis, tells patients how their data is used, and the tool handles audio carefully. Note Dr transcribes speech on your device, so consultation audio is not uploaded; the draft note is then written for your review. Your practice remains the data controller, and you approve every record before it is saved.
A note drafted during the appointment and approved before the patient leaves is made at the time — which is what contemporaneous record-keeping asks of dentists. Note Dr writes the draft while you examine and talk, so the charting, BPE, options and consent discussion are captured as they happen, not reconstructed at the end of the day. You review and approve the record chairside.
You are — the treating dentist remains responsible for the patient record, whoever or whatever drafted it. That is why Note Dr is built around review and approval: it drafts the examination, treatment options and consent discussion, and nothing enters the record until you have checked, amended and approved it. The scribe documents your consultation; the clinical judgement stays yours.
Yes. Note Dr drafts every appointment to the same structured standard whether it is a UDA-banded NHS course or a private plan, so a busy morning list and a relaxed private session produce records of the same depth, rather than thinning out when you are rushed.
Yes. Note Dr sits beside whatever practice software you already run. You paste or export the finished note straight into SOE Exact, CS R4+, Dentally or your own records, with no integration project and nothing to rip out and replace.
