Would You Let a Robotic Dentist Work on Your Teeth?

It's said to offer enhanced "precision and efficiency" compared to human dentists.

Robot dentists are about to become a thing after an A.I. company called Perceptive pulled off the first fully automated dental procedure. A robotic arm controlled by A.I. shaved down a guy’s tooth for a crown. It works by 3D mapping the inside of your mouth. Then it clamps onto your jaw, and a drill moves in circles to grind your tooth down. They claim it offers enhanced “precision and efficiency” compared to human dentists. Getting a crown normally requires two visits, one hour each. But, they say it’ll be able to do a full crown procedure in about 15 minutes. They say they’re still five years away from FDA approval.
