Molar Town
An independent, AI-native general dentistry practice · Novi, MI

Dentistry born digital, centered on you.

Opening Spring 2027 at 23890 Novi Road. General dentistry rebuilt from a blank page — standardized imaging, AI-assisted diagnostics, and records that belong to you. Designed on paper first, down to the outlet, and built for people who notice the details.

What we’re building — “The Difference”

The kind of dentistry you’d want for your own family.

A Molar Town treatment chair
01

Never rushed by design

Every appointment has real time in it — time to understand your full history, your concerns, and your goals, not just today’s problem. No conveyor belt. No clock treated as the patient.

02

Shown, not told

Your imaging goes on the screen beside you, and Dr. McQuirter walks you through exactly what she sees — what’s urgent, what can wait, what’s optional — in plain English. Then the decision gets made together, with second opinions welcome. No countdown.

03

Modern diagnostics

High-resolution, low-radiation digital imaging with an AI-assisted second look on every scan. Technology that catches problems earlier and makes them visible — sharpening the clinician’s eye, never replacing her judgment.

04

Your records, your property

Every x-ray, photo, scan, and clinical note we create is yours — organized, readable, and delivered digitally after every visit. No request forms, no waiting, no fees. We even incorporate your old records from previous offices.

05

Private, truly

Personal treatment suites where you control the lighting, music, and temperature. Conversations about your medical, dental, and financial information happen behind a door — never across an open bay.

06

Honest, in writing

Fees in writing before treatment. Referrals to specialists when a specialist will genuinely do it better. The option of “watch and wait” when that’s good dentistry. We’d rather earn trust slowly than sell quickly.

The treatment suites

Six rooms. One standard of care. Each its own kind of wonder.

Every suite is built to be as close to the same as possible — the same imaging, the same technology, the same patient controls — so there’s no “good room” and no room anyone dreads. The only intended difference is theme and name: each is named for a field of science and a mind who moved it forward, wrapped in original art drawn from the Molar Town palette.






Ink · Gold · Marble · Silver · Baltic

Suite 1Astronomy & space

Curiosity

Carl Sagan

“Cosmic Vista” — a sweeping, star-speckled deep field with swirling nebulae and bursts of gold and silver light, inviting you to look up.

“The sky calls to us.”

— Carl Sagan

Suite 2Engineering

Innovation

Elon Musk

“Blueprint” — clean geometric lines and a futuristic grid in metallic tones, with subtle tooth silhouettes standing for a solid foundation.

“The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur.”

— Elon Musk

Suite 3Physics & electricity

Energy

Nikola Tesla & Richard Feynman

“Electro Flow” and “Particle Trails” — lightning arcs and luminous particle tracks on deep dark, evoking raw power and precision.

“What I cannot create, I do not understand.”

— Richard Feynman

Suite 4Computer science & AI

Connection

Turing · Wolfram · Hassabis · Karpathy

“Digital Nexus” — an abstract network of interconnected nodes and circuit pathways in black, silver, and a touch of gold.

“Solve intelligence, then use it to solve everything else.”

— Demis Hassabis

Suite 5Biology & genetics

Helix

Rosalind Franklin

“Genomic Fusion” — the iconic DNA double helix rendered in glowing gold, white, and silver, the dance of nucleotides made art.

“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.”

— Rosalind Franklin

Suite 6Chemistry & materials

Catalyst

Dmitri Mendeleev

“Periodic Prism” — the periodic table reimagined as a luminous, interlocking mosaic that reveals the hidden order of the elements.

“The edifice of science not only requires material, but also a plan.”

— Dmitri Mendeleev

Molar Town — created with curiosity. Built for care.

The build, underneath the art

Under the wonder, an instrument.

The suites live inside a former bank at 23890 Novi Road — a building designed from day one to protect what’s valuable. We kept the spirit and rebuilt the contents. Every decision below is already in the specification set our build team works from, documented room by room, down to the outlet.

01

Enclosed and soundproofed

Real walls, real doors that close, sound isolation in the construction. Privacy here is built with framing and insulation — not implied by a curtain.

02

Identical by specification

Same chair, same imaging, same technology, same layout in all six suites. There is no “good room.” The theme on the walls is the only variable — everything clinical is a constant.

03

Controls at the chair

Lighting, music, and temperature are yours to set from where you sit. The room adapts to the patient, not the other way around.

04

The recessed tech wall

Equipment lives in a built-in wall behind lockable glass — present when it’s needed, invisible when it’s not. Calm rooms for people, secured storage for technology.

05

Unit-dose, every time

Supplies are opened fresh for each patient — a per-visit sterile workflow written into the operating standard, not left to habit.

06

Companion seating, built in

A real seat for the person you bring is in the floor plan of every suite. Support isn’t an accommodation here — it’s a design requirement.

How a visit works

Diagnosis first. Decisions second. Pressure never.

1

We listen.

Your history, your past dental experiences, your goals — before anyone looks in your mouth.

2

We look, carefully.

Standardized imaging and a comprehensive exam, including oral-cancer screening, on the same protocol every time.

3

We show you everything.

Findings on screen, options explained, fees in writing — and your complete records delivered digitally when you leave.

Every decision here is a conversation — you, your dentist, and whoever you want in your corner, second opinions included. Take the plan home, sit with it, talk it over. The math doesn’t change based on how fast you say yes.

What it’s like to be a patient here

Why we’re different on purpose

Independent, on purpose.

Molar Town is an independent practice. We never signed the insurance-network contracts that force shorter visits, compressed materials, and volume schedules — so every clinical decision here is made between you and your dentist, with no third party in the room.

Your benefits can still help: we hand you a complete coded superbill plus your imaging and notes after every visit, and as a courtesy we submit out-of-network claims whenever possible — so reimbursement comes straight back to you.

For the technical reader

One specification. Six instances. A practice that doubles as a testbed.

Molar Town is engineered the way good hardware is: specified, versioned, and built to replicate. Suite 1 is the product; Suites 2 through 6 are proof the product replicates. The same decisions that make it better for patients make it a genuinely rare thing in medicine — a controlled environment for clinical data.

01

Standardize

Identical suites and one imaging protocol mean every scan is captured in the same geometry, on the same equipment, under the same conditions. Consistency isn’t a policy here — it’s poured into the walls.

02

Consent

Patients own their records, and nothing enters the research layer without permission. The Ground Truth dataset for oral health is being built ethically from day one — visit by visit, with consent as the front door, not the fine print.

03

Translate

DentalDNA, the patient-understanding layer, turns clinician-approved findings from exactly these visits into plain language a patient can actually use. It’s an early-stage prototype built by a dentist — and it’s not hypothetical formatting.

The full report a patient would receive is published on this site as a readable sample — chart, findings, urgency, glossary, and the provenance trail behind every line. If you build clinical AI, imaging systems, or practice software, that page is the fastest way to understand what this practice is for.

Meet the founder

DM
Diana McQuirter, DDS

Hi — I’m Dr. Diana McQuirter.

I was born and raised in Detroit and trained at the University of Michigan, where my path into dentistry started in a research lab studying oral cancer — learning to look closely, question everything, and never settle for “probably fine” when the evidence can tell you more. I’ve spent over a decade chairside since, and somewhere along the way I fell in love with imaging, systems thinking, and the math behind how everything fits together.

I’m building Molar Town because I noticed something I couldn’t ignore: today’s dental technology is incredible, but the way most offices organize around it is fragile and rushed. Patients still experience dentistry as mystery and fear, while clinicians carry the burnout. My work lives in that gap.

“I’m building dentistry where your mouth isn’t a mystery, your data belongs to you, and AI does the homework — so we can focus on trust, clarity, and care.”

Outside the clinic, I write original AI songs about dentistry and my life on YouTube (Molar Town Radio), publish my prototypes and research at dianamcquirter.com, and live with my family in Novi.

Learn something

From “just trust me” to “let me show you.”

Original patient guides written by Dr. McQuirter — understanding your x-rays, the honest cavity guide, the second-opinion playbook — plus a plain-English dental glossary and, yes, genuinely catchy dental music. Informed patients make the best decisions. That sentence is the whole practice.
