Product
Dental Robotics is developing Claire, a 19.9 kg portable dental system for professional care outside fixed clinics. Its treatment unit combines suction, an ultrasonic scaler, a micromotor and an intraoral camera, with a portable chair, stool and tablet control.
Four clinical tools in one 8.6 kg unit
The treatment unit integrates 300 l/min suction, a 28 kHz ultrasonic scaler, a micromotor running up to 20,000 RPM and a 1920 × 1080 intraoral camera in one compact system.
Complete 19.9 kg treatment setup
The full setup combines the 8.6 kg treatment unit with a portable dental chair and 1.5 kg folding stool. The stool supports up to 150 kg and the unit attaches to the chair with one click.
Plug-and-play, tablet-controlled workflow
Clean and waste-water reservoirs plus mains power remove the need for fixed dental plumbing. Tablet control supports setup and image capture for documentation and remote dentist review.
Market Overview
Oral diseases are largely preventable, yet routine care remains difficult to access where dental workforces and facilities are limited. WHO identifies untreated caries in permanent teeth as the world’s most common health condition, while many low- and middle-income countries lack sufficient oral-health services for prevention and treatment.
In the United States, regulation and provider models are widening the settings where preventive dental care can be delivered. Most states allow some form of dental-hygienist direct access, while operators such as Onsite Dental use mobile and workplace models, creating an established provider base for portable equipment.
WHO estimate for people affected by oral diseases worldwide, close to half the global population.
ADA estimate of national US dental expenditure in 2024, up $7 billion in real terms from 2023.
43 of 50 states permitted some form of dental-hygienist direct access in 2025.
Onsite Dental says its 275 licensed clinicians serve more than 400,000 members across 15 states.
