Revolutionizing Dentistry: How Robotics Are Transforming Implant Procedures

Imagine a world where dental surgeries are faster, more precise, and consistently successful. Thanks to Yomi, the first and only FDA-cleared robotic assistant for dental surgery, that world is no longer a distant future but a present-day reality.

In a recent episode of the Full Arch Secrets Podcast, host Chayden Young sat down with Alon Mozes, CEO of Neocis, the innovative company behind Yomi, to explore how robotics is reshaping the landscape of implant dentistry.

From Engineering Marvels to Dental Mastery

Alon Mozes’s journey to revolutionizing dentistry is as intriguing as the technology itself. With an engineering degree from MIT and a background in cutting-edge technology (he helped develop the NFL’s iconic yellow first-down line), Mozes transitioned into the healthcare space by working on robotic systems for orthopedic surgeries.

The success of these systems, such as the Mako robot, inspired Mozes to look beyond orthopedics. With dentistry offering a unique combination of complexity and opportunity, the idea for Yomi was born. Today, Yomi is not just a technological marvel but also a game-changer for dental implant procedures.

How Yomi Delivers Precision and Efficiency

At its core, Yomi’s value lies in its ability to enhance two critical aspects of dental surgery: precision and efficiency.

• Unmatched Accuracy
  • Whether it’s a single implant in a tight space or a full-arch case requiring meticulous planning, Yomi ensures implants are placed with millimeter-perfect accuracy.
  • This precision reduces failure rates and minimizes complications, providing patients with a safer and more predictable experience.
• Streamlined Efficiency
  • Yomi significantly reduces surgery times. Full-arch cases that once required hours can now be completed in under an hour, without compromising quality.
  • Faster procedures mean practices can accommodate more patients, increasing both productivity and revenue.

A Competitive Edge for Dental Implant Practices

In a competitive market, Yomi offers dental practices a powerful differentiator. Patients are increasingly drawn to providers that leverage advanced technology, viewing it as a sign of superior care.

“Robotics not only improves the quality of care but also positions practices as forward-thinking and patient-focused,” Mozes explained. He added that some clinics even showcase Yomi in their waiting rooms to impress patients and enhance trust.

For practice owners, the benefits go beyond patient appeal. The technology supports junior associates in delivering expert-level care, helps improve case acceptance rates, and enables practices to grow by handling more complex cases with confidence.

Shaping the Future of Implant Dentistry

With robotics already established in fields like orthopedics and soft tissue surgery, Mozes believes dentistry is on the cusp of widespread adoption. As Neocis continues to innovate, the possibilities are vast—from integrating AI to automating workflows further.

“Robotics in dentistry isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about leading the way,” Mozes emphasized.

The Takeaway

Yomi is more than a tool; it’s a testament to how technology can elevate patient care and practice performance. For dentists aiming to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving world of implant dentistry, Yomi represents both a clinical advantage and a business opportunity.
