That explains why T-800s always had such perfect teeth.

All robots in healthcare aren't autonomous. Robot in healthcare is a tool with operator. Here the operator is a dentist -- living failsafe switch in case stuff goes wrong.
I read the article and this one seems to not have an operator.
At this point, the (human) dentist and patient can discuss what needs doing – but once those decisions are made, the robotic dental surgeon takes over. It plans out the operation, then jolly well goes ahead and does it.
High precision human-controlled robotic surgery is already advancing in leaps and bounds, taking the traditional need for an incredibly steady hand out of the picture – and as we're seeing in the humanoid space, the minute you start teleoperating a robot, you're potentially training it to take over and perform the same job autonomously at some point. So this is probably an idea you'll need to get used to in the coming years.
(implying this one is not human-controlled, I think)
I admit I did not watch the video though.
I'll just give you an example: just because CNC machine doesn't "need" a person to function, for some reason there are no operator-less stations where you can just upload AI generated design and pickup your part later
So even when machine is claimed to be "fully-autonomous" there's a guy with controller, watching and making decisions -- just like a surgeon/dentist would
