What Yomi Is

What is the Yomi dental implant robot, and how does it work?

Yomi is a computer-guided robotic system that assists Dr. Patel during implant placement, working like a GPS for your jaw. The FDA-cleared system provides real-time 3D guidance and haptic feedback for a smaller incision, shorter procedure time, and faster, more predictable healing than freehand surgery.

What the Yomi system actually does
A GPS for your jawYomi provides real-time 3D guidance and haptic feedback so Dr. Patel's hand stays on the exact planned path throughout the procedure.
FDA-cleared robotic guidanceYomi is America's first and only FDA-cleared robotic guidance system built specifically for dental implant surgery, not adapted from another device category.
Haptic feedback, not autopilotThe system provides resistance and guidance Dr. Patel can feel, keeping the drill locked to the pre-planned depth and angle at all times.
Built for accuracy over guessworkBecause placement follows a confirmed digital plan, there is less reliance on estimation and more consistency from the first step to the final seat.

Six Things to Know

What should I understand about robotic implant surgery before I book?

From what Yomi is and how its guidance works, to why robotic placement beats freehand surgery, the benefits you notice first, who Dr. Patel is, and what your visit looks like, every question is answered below.
How Yomi Works

How does Yomi's robotic guidance system work step by step?

Yomi robotic guidance follows four steps: a cone beam CT scan builds a complete 3D map of your bone structure, Dr. Patel plans the exact implant depth and angle, the robotic arm guides his hand in real time during surgery, and the system adjusts instantly if your jaw position shifts. Every step is confirmed digitally before a drill ever touches your mouth.

Real-time adjustmentsUnlike a rigid surgical guide fixed at one angle, Yomi adapts instantly if your jaw position shifts during the procedure.
Minimally invasive surgeryMany implants are placed without cutting the gum or requiring stitches, reducing tissue trauma and bleeding.

Why Robotic Guidance Wins

Why is robotic-guided implant placement superior to traditional freehand surgery?

Robotic guidance replaces manual estimation with a pre-confirmed digital plan, keeping every cut on the exact planned path. Dr. Patel's approach follows a simple philosophy: if he would not want to leave a dental office with a missing tooth, neither should his patients, which is why most patients receive a new tooth the same day or within 24 hours.

Pre-confirmed accuracyEvery cut follows a digital plan built from your CT scan rather than estimation made in the moment.
Smaller incisions, less traumaMany placements skip cutting the gum entirely, reducing bleeding and tissue disruption compared with open flap surgery.
Same-day or 24-hour teethMost patients receive a provisional or final tooth the same day or within 24 hours of implant placement.
A philosophy built around the patientDr. Patel's approach is that no patient should leave the office with a visible gap, guiding how quickly restorations are delivered.

Where bone volume is short, bone grafting rebuilds the site first so the implant has a solid base, and sedation dentistry is available throughout for anxious patients.

Yomi robotic-guided implants or traditional freehand surgery: which is right for you?

The difference between robotic-guided and freehand implant surgery is the difference between a pre-confirmed digital plan and manual estimation. Both can produce good outcomes in skilled hands, but the categories below show why Yomi’s approach reduces procedural variability at Alpha Dental Excellence in Langhorne.
Traditional

Freehand implant surgery

Traditional placement, closed with stitches
  • Freehand placementThe angle is held by eye and by experience, without a physical guide.
  • Open flap surgeryThe gum is cut and lifted to expose the bone, then closed with stitches.
  • Stitches and a longer recoveryMore tissue disturbed means more swelling and a longer settling period.
  • Position confirmed afterwardsAccuracy is checked once the implant is already in.
Robotic

Yomi guided implant surgery

  • Guided by the planThe arm holds the drill to the position mapped on your 3D scan and will not let it drift.
  • Often no incisionMany placements go through the gum without opening a flap.
  • Frequently no stitchesA smaller opening usually means less swelling and a quicker return to normal.
  • Position confirmed before startingThe plan is agreed and locked in before anything is drilled.

Yomi is America's first and only FDA-cleared robotic guidance system for dental implants, per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance record (FDA, accessed 2026). General implant placement standards referenced from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID, accessed 2026). Individual outcomes vary based on anatomy, health, and case complexity.

Common Questions

What are the most common Yomi robotic implant questions in Bucks County?

Six questions Langhorne and Bucks County patients ask Dr. Patel most often about robotic-guided implant placement, answered in full below.

No. Dr. Patel performs every step of your surgery. Yomi is a guidance tool that assists the dentist, similar to how GPS guides a driver. The dentist stays in full control at all times while the system provides real-time haptic feedback for accuracy. You are always in the hands of Dr. Patel, who has placed more than 12,000 implants over 22 years of practice in Langhorne and Bucks County.

Robotic guidance improves placement accuracy compared to freehand surgery by keeping the drill on the exact planned path, angle, and depth confirmed from your cone beam CT scan. That precision results in a smaller incision, less trauma to surrounding tissue, and often no stitches, which supports faster and more comfortable healing for patients in Langhorne and across Bucks County.

Many single-tooth implant placements with Yomi are completed in approximately 15 to 20 minutes, often without stitches. Most patients at Alpha Dental Excellence receive a tooth the same day or within 24 hours after placement. Total treatment time depends on whether extractions or bone grafting are needed, which Dr. Patel confirms at your 3D CT consultation.

Neocis is the manufacturer of the Yomi robotic implant system. Diamond Provider is the highest designation Neocis awards to implant practices, based on clinical volume, outcomes, and ongoing training. Alpha Dental Excellence holds this designation, ranking. Only about 300 practices nationwide use the Yomi system at all.

Your first visit includes a comprehensive examination and a cone beam CT scan that creates a complete 3D digital map of your jaw and bone structure. Dr. Patel reviews the scan with you to confirm candidacy, identify any need for bone grafting or extraction, and show you the planned implant position. You leave with a written treatment plan and exact pricing before any procedure is scheduled.

Many patients do not need stitches. Because Yomi guides placement to the exact pre-planned depth and angle, Dr. Patel is often able to place the implant without cutting the gum open, known as a flapless approach. Whether stitches are needed depends on your specific bone and tissue condition, which Dr. Patel reviews at your CT consultation.
