A general LLM writes a confident answer. We show you the evidence.
ChatGPT and other general-purpose models generate clinical answers from memory, which is why the citation is sometimes real and sometimes not. Dental Evidence retrieves the research first, answers only from what it found, and links every claim back to the passage it came from.
Retrieval first. Every answer is composed from passages pulled out of a curated dental corpus at query time, so there is a document behind each sentence.
General LLM
Recall from training weights. The answer is generated from a statistical memory of text, with no document to point back to.
References
Dental Evidence
Inline references sit in the sentence they support. Open the citation and read the passage the claim came from.
General LLM
Citations are generated like the rest of the text. Titles, journals, and DOIs can look right and not exist.
What is in scope
Dental Evidence
Peer-reviewed dental literature, admitted only under licences that permit us to serve the passage. Curated one clinical topic at a time.
General LLM
Whatever was on the open web when the model was trained: forums, marketing pages, and SEO content sit beside the journals.
Who checked it
Dental Evidence
Dentist-founded and dentist-reviewed. Sources are admitted by clinicians, and a topic is not live until real clinical phrasings return the right evidence.
General LLM
General safety tuning by non-clinicians. Nothing in the pipeline was reviewed by a dentist.
What colleagues are doing
Dental Evidence
Social search shows curated posts from vetted clinicians beside the answer — verbatim, attributed, and never blended into the evidence.
General LLM
Anecdote and evidence arrive in the same confident paragraph, with no way to tell which is which.
When the evidence is thin
Dental Evidence
The answer says so. Disagreement between studies, small samples, and lab-only findings are stated rather than smoothed over.
General LLM
A fluent answer either way. Confidence does not move with the strength of the underlying evidence.
Bench data vs. patient outcomes
Dental Evidence
Laboratory work is admitted as laboratory work and never used to support a claim about what happens to a patient.
General LLM
In-vitro results and clinical outcomes are routinely collapsed into a single recommendation.
Materials and products
Dental Evidence
Brand-to-brand comparisons grounded in the material record, with the evidence for each claim attached.
General LLM
Brand knowledge frozen at the training cutoff, with discontinued products and old formulations presented as current.
Chairside output
Dental Evidence
Chart notes, insurance narratives, post-op handouts, and cited step-by-step workflows, built from the same referenced evidence.
General LLM
Generic drafts that you have to verify line by line before anything reaches a chart or a payer.
How it works
Six things a general chatbot does not have.
RAG framework
Retrieval before generation
Your question is expanded into the vocabulary the literature actually uses, matched against the corpus semantically and by term, and the winning passages are what the model is allowed to read. It answers from those passages or it says it cannot.
References
Every claim opens to its source
References are inline, not a bibliography bolted on at the end. Each one resolves to the passage behind the sentence, so you can judge the study yourself before you act on it.
Social search
Vetted clinicians, kept separate
Posts from a reviewed roster of clinicians surface beside the answer, quoted verbatim and attributed to the account that wrote them. They are provenance, not proof — nothing from the social lane reaches the evidence or the answer.
Dentist reviewed
A clinician decides what gets in
Sources are admitted per clinical question by dentists, and opinion polls and awareness surveys are rejected. A topic counts as covered only after we probe it with the phrasing clinicians use and inspect the result passage by passage.
Dentist founded
Built by someone who works chairside
Dental Evidence was founded by a dentist, and accounts are limited to dentists. The questions we test against are the ones asked between patients, not benchmark prompts.
Clinical judgment
The answer is yours to make
We do not diagnose or treat. We put the strongest available evidence, its limits, and its sources in front of you quickly enough to use before the patient is numb.
