Pearl develops FDA-cleared AI software that reads dental x-rays in real time, helping dentists detect cavities and other pathologies and show patients the evidence behind a diagnosis. Founded in 2019 by Ophir Tanz as a spinout of his computer-vision company GumGum, the Los Angeles-based company holds more than two dozen FDA clearances, and its Second Opinion and Practice Intelligence platforms are used by dental practices in over 120 countries. Pearl raised a $58 million Series B led by Left Lane Capital in July 2024, the largest funding round in dental AI at the time.
