Nurvivo Dental vs Kiroku: Which Dental AI Scribe Should You Choose?
Quick answer
Kiroku is a well-regarded UK-built AI dental note-taking app focused on fast, accurate clinical notes. Nurvivo Dental is a Canadian-built full clinical platform — notes plus perio, radiograph AI, drug interactions, treatment plans, and Canadian-specific codes — with data hosted in Canada.
What is Kiroku?
Kiroku is an AI dental scribe originally built in the UK. It listens to patient consultations and generates structured clinical notes. It's well-liked for its note quality and template flexibility. Public pricing starts around USD 47.95 per user per month (May 2026).
Bottom line
Pick Nurvivo if you want a full Canadian clinical platform (notes + perio + Rx + radiograph + treatment plans) with PHIPA-aligned hosting. Pick Kiroku if you only need a focused, fast AI note-taker and you don't require Canadian data residency or ODA codes.

Why Canadian practices choose Nurvivo
- ✓Built in Canada for Canadian dental practices — ODA codes, FDI tooth numbering, and the Canadian drug formulary are built in, not bolted on.
- ✓PHIPA-aligned by design with data hosted on AWS Canada (Toronto). Your patient data never leaves Canadian soil.
- ✓Zero-training policy: your clinical notes are never used to train external AI models.
- ✓Full clinical platform — SOAP, DARE and narrative notes, perio charting, post-op instructions, drug interaction checks, and treatment plans in one workspace (radiograph AI coming soon).
When Kiroku might fit better
- →You only need an AI note-taker — not a full clinical platform.
- →You're a UK or international practice and don't require Canadian data residency.
- →You already have separate tools for perio, radiograph reading, and treatment planning.
Frequently asked questions
Is Kiroku available in Canada?

What does Kiroku cost compared to Nurvivo Dental?
Kiroku's public pricing starts around USD 47.95 per user per month (May 2026). Nurvivo Dental's founding-member rate is CAD 29 per month, locked for life.
Does Kiroku do perio charting and radiograph analysis?
Kiroku focuses on AI clinical note generation. Perio charting, AI radiograph analysis, drug interaction checks, and treatment-plan generation are not part of its core feature set. Nurvivo Dental includes all of these in one platform.
Is Kiroku PHIPA compliant?
Kiroku is GDPR and UK-DPA aligned. It does not publicly position itself as PHIPA-compliant or Canadian-resident. For Ontario practices that need PHIPA-aligned vendors with Canadian hosting, Nurvivo Dental is the safer fit.
