DIANA MCQUIRTER, DDS

A University of Michigan trained dental surgeon and technologist with more than a decade of clinical experience, focused on AI-native dentistry. I combine rigorous imaging standards, explainable AI, and truly patient-owned data with clear storytelling and thoughtful design so dental care becomes clearer, kinder, and more precise.

It is dental care designed from day one for digital data, standardized imaging, and decision support. Software and clinicians work together, patients control their data, and everyone can see the same clear picture of what is happening in the mouth.

I focus on three big ones: confusing imaging, fragmented data, and fear. Most people never really understand their x rays or scans, their records live in disconnected systems, and the whole experience often feels stressful. My work is about earlier detection, clearer visuals, and workflows that reduce anxiety instead of adding to it.

DentalDNA is a patient first app concept that stores and analyzes dental records, gives people real ownership of their imaging, and uses AI assisted visuals to explain what is going on in their mouths in plain language.

Molar Town is my vision for an AI native dental clinic and research environment. It focuses on standardized imaging, rigorous data quality, and clinic workflows that plug directly into tools like DentalDNA and future robotics.

It is the creative layer around my clinical and technical work. Think music, videos, and playful media projects (including dentistry inspired music videos as @dianamcquirter) that turn frontier tech and dental science into stories regular humans can actually enjoy.

Yes, in addition to seeing select patients, my current focus is on building tools, research, and creative projects for AI native dentistry.

No. I design systems where AI and humans do what each does best. AI can help with pattern recognition, risk detection, and visualization. Dentists bring judgment, experience, context, and care. The goal is a smarter partnership, not a replacement.

Patient consent and control are non negotiable. The systems I design are built around transparent data use, clear explanations of how AI is involved, and giving patients access to and ownership of their own records whenever possible.

For clinicians who are curious about AI, for builders and researchers who care about health, and for regular humans who want tech that feels more human and less mysterious. It is a public lab notebook for AI native dentistry and a hub for people who might want to collaborate.

No. Those names reflect the kind of engineering culture and long term thinking I admire, not formal affiliation.

No. Everything here is for education, inspiration, and collaboration. It is not a substitute for personal medical or dental care. For individual concerns, you should always talk to your own dentist or healthcare team.
