# VELMENI

> VELMENI is a Sunnyvale-based dental AI platform that uses computer vision and deep learning to analyze 2D and 3D dental radiographs in real time. Its FDA-cleared flagship product, VELMENI for DENTISTS, is the first dental AI approved to detect pathologies in panoramic X-rays — catching caries, bone loss, and other findings that experienced clinicians miss roughly one-third of the time. Beyond diagnostics, the platform automates insurance claims, enables voice-assisted periodontal charting, interprets CBCT scans, and delivers VR-based patient education, all from a single integrated workflow. Founded in 2020 by CEO Mini Suri and Chief Dental Officer Dr. Arvin Oberai, the company has been beta-tested by over 1,300 dentists across 500+ practices in 50+ countries.
