Dentist Arne Gipling: simpler clinical documentation with Dentio
At Bakke Tannlegekontor AS, Arne Gipling describes a practical change in how the team handles clinical documentation. Previously, the secretary had to sit and type notes. With Dentio, he says, the information goes straight in, saving the team time. His story brings together three things that matter when a clinic changes its working habits: less typing, useful notes and a tool that feels straightforward to learn.
Less typing for the team
Documentation is part of every appointment, but entering it manually can occupy a team member while the clinical work continues. Arne’s account focuses on that everyday task. He describes a workflow in which Dentio takes on more of the writing, rather than the secretary having to type the information throughout the visit.
For a clinic considering a similar workflow, the useful question is where manual entry happens today: during treatment, between appointments or after the last patient. That gives the team a concrete starting point for deciding where documentation support would help.
Better notes, with the clinician in control
"I feel the clinical notes are much better."
That is Arne’s assessment of the notes in his own work. Dentio’s general documentation workflow starts with the patient conversation and turns it into a structured draft. Dental terminology and the clinic’s templates help organize the information into a format the practitioner can review.
The draft still needs clinical judgement. The treating clinician checks what was captured, corrects wording and adds anything necessary before approving the record. A useful note supports that review by making the relevant information easier to work through.
A straightforward place to start
Asked what he would tell other dentists, Arne’s advice is to try it. He describes Dentio as simple and straightforward, and says you quickly get the hang of it.
For a team introducing AI documentation, starting with a familiar appointment type can make the workflow easier to assess. Review the draft against what happened in the consultation, adjust the template where needed and agree who checks the final note. Dentio’s guide to AI clinical documentation explains the process in more detail.
