Compliance & Regulatory
No, provided you use the widget as designed. Here's why.
The GDC's Guidance on Advertising requires that information about dental services is "legal, decent, honest and truthful" and that you do not "raise expectations which cannot be fulfilled." The test is whether a reasonable patient would be misled.
Dentalreel produces a clearly-labelled aesthetic simulation, not a treatment plan or a guarantee of results. Every image carries a permanent, non-removable disclaimer stating it is a simulation and that actual results depend on clinical assessment. Every patient ticks a consent box before seeing their image confirming they understand this. Every interaction is audit-logged with timestamp and IP.
The precedent is settled: Invisalign SmileView has been running on UK practice websites since 2019 using the same architecture (AI simulation, prospective patient, marketing tool). It is used by thousands of GDC-registered practices. There has been no GDC enforcement action against the tool or the practices using it. Dentalreel is built to the same compliance standard with stricter disclaimers and full audit logs.
