Kells

What is Kells?

KELLS is a digital dental second-opinion service named after Charles Edmund Kells, the pioneer who introduced dental radiography and ran one of the first dental practices equipped with electricity. The service combines artificial intelligence with the expertise of remote dentists to provide unbiased second opinions on dental conditions and proposed treatment plans. You submit your dental records, such as X-rays, and the service analyzes them to identify potential issues and offer personalized treatment advice.

Pricing is $49 per case for the standard plan. The enhanced plan costs $79 and adds perks like teledental consultations and chat support.
