Quick note for patients and visitors:
⚠️ Note for Patients: This is a PERSONAL WEBSITE focused on dental technology and AI projects. This website is not affiliated with any dental clinic, office, or healthcare organization. Please contact your dental office directly for care or scheduling.
🚀 Researchers / collaborators: This is a portfolio for dental AI and technology collaborations. I’m bridging the gap between caring clinical reality and AI. I am actively scouting for collaborators building truth-seeking models, agentic workflows, and computer vision for the next generation of patient care.
Hi! I’m Diana, a University of Michigan trained dentist with over a decade of clinical experience. I geek out on technology and AI and bring that energy into dentistry to make care safer and more precise.
My goal is to help build a world where your dental data works for you.
What I’m focused on:
Dentistry sits at an awkward intersection of high stakes, messy data, insurance pressure, and real people who are often anxious. My work lives in that gap.
In practice, I use advanced imaging, extensive data, and creative design to spot problems early, make them easy to see, and treat people with the same curiosity, rigor and honesty I’d want for my own family.
My current focus areas:
- Clarity: helping patients understand what they are seeing and why it matters
- Trust: making recommendations easier to explain and easier to evaluate
- Workflow: tools that reduce cognitive load for clinicians and teams
- Education: making dental knowledge easier to learn and easier to teach
We can move dentistry from “just trust me” —> “let me show you”, so dental care is transparent, personalized and calm instead of confusing or scary.
This site is a ‘public lab notebook’ that I plan to use to share my exceptional projects, prototypes and super cool ideas.
For AI, Robotics, & Research Teams
I’m building an AI-native dentistry testbed: an app, multimodal educational music and videos, and clinic operations designed with technology as the foundation.
I’m especially interested in training humanoid robots to support clinical teams. I want to use years of clinical intuition and empathy for patients to build safety-first software frameworks that protect people and improve treatment decisions.
I plan to build the Ground Truth dataset for oral health. Dentistry is full of edge cases that break current models. I want to properly and accurately document them.
Mission
To design technology-driven healthcare that is smarter, more transparent, and deeply human.
With patient-owned data at the center.
THE STACK
Layer 1: Data
The software/records
DentalDNA
Patient-Owned Dental Intelligence
Your smile, your data, your control.
DentalDNA is an AI-powered platform that gives people full ownership of their dental images, records, and AI analysis. It turns raw data into clear insights and connects users to real dentists for guidance, early detection, and smarter decisions.
Layer 2: Interface
The human-readable output/media
Molar Town Radio + Molar Town Universe (YouTube)
Science Meets Storytelling
Where frontier tech becomes fun.
Music, videos, and playful media projects that translate dentistry, robotics, and AI into stories everyone can enjoy and actually understand. This is the creative engine of the Molar Town ecosystem, education wrapped in joy.
Layer 3: Hardware
The physical implementation
Molar Town Office Blueprint
AI-Native Dental Office Blueprint, Designed for Humans.
A science-inspired dental experience.
Molar Town is a digital AI-integrated dental office blueprint and innovation center. Every workflow is built around advanced imaging, explainable AI, and calm, patient-centered design. It’s where dentistry becomes clearer, more precise, and more kind.
“I’m building the next era of dentistry where your mouth isn’t a mystery, your data belongs to you, and AI beautifully does the homework so we can focus on trust, clarity, and care.”

What I Build
DentalDNA (Phone/Desktop App)
Your mouth’s data, translated into plain language.
A patient first app that stores and analyzes dental records, gives people real ownership of their imaging, and uses AI assisted visuals to explain what is happening in their body. Think of it as a personal, ad-free, super user-friendly, control center for your teeth and mouth.
Molar Town (AI-native Dental Office Blueprint)
Smart tools, kind people, more certainty.
An AI native dental clinic and center of excellence designed around standardized imaging, rigorous data quality, and fully digital workflows that plug directly into DentalDNA and future robotics.
Molar Town Universe (YouTube)
Where dental science gets a plot and a soundtrack.
The creative studio that keeps my energy going. Music, videos, and visual experiments that turn frontier tech, dental science, and robotics into stories regular people can enjoy.
Featured Projects: Molar Town Radio
A genre hopping music series built around an anthem called “Welcome to Molar Town.” Songs and lyric videos that sneak real dental AI concepts into catchy hooks.
Science and Math Are My Default Setting
I like taking systems apart, not to break them, but to see how they could work better.
I map the hardest problems in dentistry, then build software prototypes and design the hardware configurations and workflows that can solve them.
I use art, AI tools, passion, accurate science, and storytelling to turn those systems into something people can feel, not just read about.
Human Expertise. Machine Intelligence. Dentistry without Fear.
I focus on systems where human expertise and machine intelligence work together by catching problems earlier, explaining them visually, and building trust instead of anxiety.
This site is a living lab notebook.
A public lab notebook for AI native dentistry, a place to share prototypes, ideas, and dreams in plain language.
Wander, click, and build with me.
Browse the projects, listen to the music, and watch the AI robots and software take shape.
If something sparks, whether you are a researcher, engineer, or clinician, reach out and let’s build the future of the mouth together.
Clinically trained, future focused, human first.
I continue to practice clinical dentistry, while developing these technologies in my private lab and private time. The next era of dental care has to be more accurate, patient centered, and radically explainable.
