Why top dental schools trust Videa to elevate education and care

In the evolving landscape of dental education, institutions face growing pressure to equip future clinicians with advanced technical capabilities and the ability to foster patient trust. That’s why leading academic dental centers are turning to Videa—the most FDA-cleared dental AI platform on the market—to help them achieve both.

Whether you refer to it as a dental school clinic, dental teaching practice, or academic dental center, the need is the same: accurate diagnostics, better communication, and scalable learning environments. Videa delivers on all three.

Clinically Proven and Educationally Ready

With 34 FDA-cleared indications (as per May 22, 2025), including pediatric models starting at age 3, Videa has set the benchmark for clinically validated dental AI. Our platform is powered by one of the world's most extensive dental image datasets, continuously refined to support high-accuracy detection across caries, periodontal conditions, and restorative needs.

But what sets Videa apart in academic settings? 

Our platform includes education-friendly interfaces that support instructor-led training, alongside patient-facing visuals that help students communicate findings clearly and effectively. These features are crucial for both learning and real-world readiness. As seen in private teaching practices like Brookline Dental Specialists, these features boost diagnostic confidence and build stronger patient-provider relationships.

“It was incredible how quickly the tool pointed out everything. I found it so much easier to finally understand what is going on,” shared a 35-year-old patient after experiencing Videa's AI in action.

Beyond Detection: A Platform for Coaching & Consistency

In academic dental clinics, the goal isn’t just detection—it’s growth. Our VideaInsights platform provides program directors and faculty with data-driven visibility into clinical performance across all students and providers. By identifying trends and surfacing care gaps, schools can elevate standards, mentor more effectively, and track progression over time.

“VideaInsights gives us the ability to clearly identify dental issues and track how we’re addressing them,” said Dr. Mitch Ellingston, Chief Clinical Officer at Gen4 Dental Partners. “These features improve diagnostic accuracy and enable more timely scheduling, helping minimize patient complications.”

This structured feedback loop is compelling in educational settings, where consistency and calibration are key.

Designed for Minimal Disruption, Maximum Adoption

Videa is built for seamless integration. While compatibility may vary by institution, we work with over 90% of the most common imaging and practice management platforms today, including a complete Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend embedment. Our approach ensures low-friction onboarding, allowing faculty and students to focus on care and learning rather than navigating clunky tech transitions.

Leadership with Academic Roots

Videa’s mission is grounded in a deep commitment to innovation, education, and real-world impact—values shaped by our founder and CEO, Florian Hillen.

Florian began his journey as a graduate researcher at MIT, where he envisioned using AI to close care gaps in dentistry and improve patient outcomes. His academic path spans some of the world’s most rigorous institutions and disciplines, reflecting a rare blend of technical, clinical, and business expertise.

Florian holds:

• Dual Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and Technology & Policy from MIT
• A medical doctorate (Staatsexamen) from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
• A BSc in Management & Technology from the Technical University of Munich
• An honors certificate in Technology Management from CDTM
• Visiting Scholar Experience at UC Berkeley

Most recently, Florian was appointed an Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School, where he teaches and advises future leaders on healthcare innovation, joining a select group that includes figures such as the CEO of Microsoft.

This unparalleled foundation fuels his leadership at Videa, where academic rigor meets entrepreneurial drive to transform dentistry through the power of AI. His research-driven mindset fuels Videa’s focus on rigor, impact, and scalability—qualities that closely align with those of academic institutions in preparing the next generation of oral health leaders.
