Because oral surgery is a very precise procedure, the Yomi helps reduce the risk associated with free-hand surgery, and provides a less invasive process that can reduce the recovery time for patients. When using Yomi technology, surgeons have the advantage to:
- Plan surgery ahead of time
- Know the exact implant placement
- Know where all the anatomical structures are located
- Avoid nerves and sinuses during surgery
Patient Benefits
Along with this new technology being less invasive for the patient, the surgery itself can be completed in shorter amount of time. Prior to the Yomi, a patient would have to come in for a dental impression and then make an appointment for the actual surgery. But now, a 3D image of a patient’s jaw allows a surgeon to plan and perform surgery on the same day. Utilizing the robotics system, patients receive the best experience during surgery with precise accuracy and minimal invasiveness that is superior to anything that can be done free-handed.
