Webinar on-demand: How AI tools like Diagnocat are helping early adopters improve diagnosis, enhance patient communication and boost practice efficiency.
Earlier this month, Dr.Elaine Halley from Cherrybank Dental Spa hosted an exclusive webinar for registered SOBP clients where she presented Diagnocat – an all-in-one AI software that uses advanced algorithms to analyse 2D and 3D dental images. This cloud-based solution helps identify pathologies and potential treatment areas with high precision. It provides accurate screening reports using data from x-rays, CBCT scans and panoramic images, offering results in minutes, allowing you to provide faster, more reliable diagnoses.
Why is Diagnocat the right choice for modern dental practices?
- Improve diagnostic accuracy
- Reduce human error
- Increase the speed of image analysis
- Improve patient communication
At Spot On Business Planning, our commitment to integrity, accuracy, and innovation is at the heart of our core values. As such, we want to share and provide access to innovative, cutting-edge technologies like Diagnocat.
This is an exclusive webinar for existing SOBP clients. If you’re not an existing SOBP client and want to watch the webinar, please fill in this form to request access.

Life, death and taxes: The dental market in 2025 and what you need to know
An article by Dean Barker, Managing director of Dental Practice Sale
Benjamin Franklin once said, "In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes." While we can't control the former, understanding and planning for tax liabilities is within your reach.
As a dental practice owner, you may face Asset Disposal Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax when selling your practice. With significant changes to these taxes expected in the next 15 months, now is the time to take action.
The expert team at Dental Practice Sale (DPS) can advise you on:
- The right time to sell relating to both tax liabilities and the current value of your practice
- Key factors to consider in preparing your practice for sale
- The impact of recent tax changes on sale timelines
- Insights into who is likely to buy your practice
- What happens to you post-sale
Understanding the latest trends in the dental sales market has an important bearing on how you can plan your exit strategy to the best effect.
