BeamReaders

What BeamReaders does

BeamReaders is a US-based, founder-led dental teleradiology company that provides expert interpretation of CBCT, MRI, and other dental imaging scans for dental practices across all 50 US states and all 10 Canadian provinces. The company's core product is a per-report radiology service delivered by a network of 70+ board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologists (OMRs), priced on a tiered per-report basis ranging from $89 to $119 with no subscriptions or monthly minimums. Customers include orthodontic, endodontic, implant, sleep/airway, university, and imaging-center practices; the company states it supports 10,000+ doctors and has evaluated 900,000+ patient scans cumulatively.

The service is delivered through VoxDental, a HIPAA-compliant web platform that handles DICOM upload, report delivery, secure storage (VoxVault), direct asynchronous radiologist communication (Rad Chats), and doctor-to-doctor file sharing (BeamReaders Collaboration). Distribution is a hybrid of a self-serve PLG portal and OEM-style embedding: as of February 2026, BeamReaders is integrated directly into DEXIS DTX Studio (v4.7+) and Carestream Dental CS Imaging v8, allowing dentists to submit cases without leaving their primary imaging software. The company is privately held, was founded in 2008 by Dr. David Hatcher, Tom Hatcher, and Craig Dial, and is led by CEO Cory Hatcher; ownership remains closely held by the founding family with no disclosed institutional investors, M&A activity, or external equity participants in the available data. The company also operates BeamReaders Academy, an education business offering CE-accredited live, on-demand, and 1:1 CBCT training, and publishes clinical IP including the Traffic Light Protocol and ECAA pediatric airway protocol.

Product overview

BeamReaders offers a dental radiology reporting platform built around a team of 70+ US- and Canada-based oral and maxillofacial radiologists (OMRs).

The platform is integrated into third-party dental imaging software including DEXIS DTX Studio v4.7+ and Carestream Dental CS Imaging. BeamReaders Academy provides CE-accredited education including courses, webinars, and the Traffic Light Protocol eBook framework. The company also publishes clinical protocols such as the ECAA (Early Childhood Airway Assessment) for pediatric airway analysis. Pricing is per-report with tiered volume discounts and no subscriptions or minimums.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• DEXIScoreTechnology or Integration · 11 February 2026DEXIS, a global leader in dental imaging, integrated BeamReaders directly into its DTX Studio Clinic v4.7 platform. Dentists can now submit CBCT scans for expert oral and maxillofacial radiology interpretation without leaving the DEXIS imaging software, eliminating manual exports and separate platform logins. DEXIS also listed BeamReaders as a key partner in its expanded integration network alongside CephX and Qlone.
• Carestream DentalcoreTechnology or IntegrationBeamReaders integrated with Carestream Dental CS Imaging version 8 software, enabling dental practitioners to submit CBCT cases directly to BeamReaders from within the Carestream platform, streamlining the referral workflow.
• DDI Imaging CentersminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerCraig Dial, BeamReaders founder and chief technologist, is co-owner of DDI Imaging Centers. This represents a strategic alignment between BeamReaders and a specialized imaging center operation, though it appears to be a founder-level connection rather than a formal corporate partnership.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Real Radiology: Teleradiology services company providing remote radiology interpretations to healthcare providers. While primarily medical rather than dental, it represents the broader teleradiology business model that BeamReaders operates in.
• Dentsply Sirona: Largest dental equipment and technology company globally, including 3D imaging systems (Orthophos, Axeos). Broad incumbent that could integrate or compete with dental teleradiology services through its imaging portfolio.
• Carestream Dental: Major dental imaging equipment and software provider whose CS Imaging platform integrates with BeamReaders. Competes indirectly by offering its own imaging ecosystem, and could disintermediate BeamReaders through in-house interpretation services.
• Vatech: Dental imaging equipment manufacturer offering CBCT and panoramic X-ray systems with embedded software. Broad incumbent in the dental CBCT market whose installed base overlaps with BeamReaders' potential customer pool.
• Planmeca: Dental equipment manufacturer with a 3D imaging product line and Romexis software platform. Competes in the dental imaging ecosystem that BeamReaders serves, with potential to add interpretation services.
• DEXIS (Envista Holdings): Global dental imaging platform serving 50,000+ clinics, owner of DTX Studio in which BeamReaders is integrated. As both a distribution partner and a broad dental imaging incumbent, DEXIS is a key peer that could expand into radiology interpretation.

Direct peers

• Diagnocat: AI-powered dental imaging analysis platform that provides automated CBCT and panoramic radiograph interpretation. Directly competes with BeamReaders in dental radiology interpretation, though via AI rather than human radiologists.
• 3D Diagnostix: Dental and maxillofacial radiology interpretation service providing CBCT, MRI, and CT reports from board-certified radiologists. Closest direct competitor to BeamReaders in human-driven dental teleradiology.
• Pearl (Second Opinion AI): AI dental imaging interpretation company providing FDA-cleared pathology detection in dental radiographs. Competes with BeamReaders on dental image interpretation services, primarily through AI rather than human specialists.

Emerging players

• CephX: AI-powered cephalometric and dental imaging analysis platform, listed alongside BeamReaders as a DEXIS DTX Studio integration partner. Emerging AI-based peer in the dental imaging interpretation space.
