Sample Output

What Sia produces after every visit

Here is an actual clinical note generated by Sia during a crown preparation appointment. Ready for your review in under two minutes.

Clinical Note

Patient: Maria Garcia

D2740 — Crown Prep

Chief Complaint

Patient presents for crown preparation on tooth #19. Reports intermittent sensitivity to cold on the lower left side over the past three weeks. No spontaneous pain. Patient reports discomfort when chewing on that side.

Clinical Findings

Existing large MOD amalgam restoration on tooth #19 with recurrent decay at the distal margin. Radiograph confirms decay extending to the DEJ. Tooth is vital, responsive to cold testing with lingering response of 4 seconds. No percussion sensitivity. Periodontal probing within normal limits (2-3mm).

Treatment Performed

Crown preparation completed under local anesthesia (2% lidocaine with 1:100K epi, 1.7mL IAN block). Existing amalgam and recurrent decay removed. Build-up placed with resin-modified glass ionomer. Preparation refined for PFM crown with adequate reduction (1.5mm occlusal, 1.0mm axial). Margins placed at gingival crest. Impression taken with PVS material. Shade A2 selected.

Materials

Temporary crown fabricated and placed with TempBond CE. Occlusion checked and adjusted. Patient comfortable at dismissal.

Patient Instructions

Avoid sticky foods on the temporary crown. Mild sensitivity to temperature is normal and should resolve within a few days. If the temporary comes off, contact the office. Ibuprofen 400mg as needed for any discomfort. Return in 2 weeks for permanent crown cementation.

Features

What Sia does for your Open Dental practice

Every feature is designed to give you back the hours you spend on documentation — without sacrificing accuracy.

Real-Time Documentation

Sia listens during the appointment and generates notes as you work. By the time you are done, the note is ready for review.

Patient History Context

Sia pulls the patient history from Open Dental so notes reference prior treatments, existing conditions, and relevant allergies.

ADA-Code Aware

Sia understands dental procedure codes and includes them in notes automatically — D2740 for a crown, D1110 for a prophy, and everything in between.

Template Compatible

Works with your existing note templates in Open Dental. Sia fills in the sections you need without changing your workflow.

Review Before Save

Every note goes through your review before it is saved to the patient chart. Sia suggests — you approve. Nothing is written without your sign-off.

HIPAA Compliant

All audio processing and note generation happens in a HIPAA-compliant environment. Patient data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

Your evenings belong to you again

Dentists spend an average of 10 to 15 minutes per patient on clinical documentation. For a 14-patient day, that is over two hours of charting — often done after the last patient leaves, cutting into personal time and contributing to burnout. The notes written at the end of a long day are rarely as detailed or accurate as they should be.

Sia eliminates that burden by documenting in real time. As you explain findings to the patient, discuss treatment options, and perform procedures, Sia captures everything in a structured clinical note with correct terminology and ADA codes. By the time the patient leaves the chair, the note is ready for a quick review and one-click save to Open Dental. Practices report saving an average of 2.5 hours per day on documentation — time that goes back to patient care, or simply going home on time.
