If you have been researching dental implants, you have probably noticed something frustrating. Every office claims to offer the best treatment, the best technology, and the best results. But very few actually explain what makes their process different or why it matters for your outcome.
At Yorba Linda Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we take a different approach. We believe patients deserve to understand exactly how their treatment works and why certain technology can dramatically improve the result.
One of the biggest advancements in implant dentistry today is Yomi robotic assisted dental implant surgery. This is not marketing hype or a trend. It is a real shift in how implants are planned and placed, and it directly impacts precision, comfort, and long term success.
Yomi is the first and only FDA cleared robotic system designed specifically for dental implant placement. It allows your surgeon to plan your entire case digitally before the procedure even begins and then execute that plan with real time guidance during surgery.
Think of it like having a navigation system for your procedure. Before anything is done, your doctor uses a 3D scan of your mouth to determine the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant. During the procedure, the Yomi system guides the hand of the surgeon based on that plan.
This does not mean a robot is performing your surgery. Your procedure is still done by a highly trained oral surgeon. What Yomi does is enhance that expertise by adding a level of precision and consistency that cannot be achieved with traditional methods alone.
Most patients focus on the implant itself, but the reality is that success has much more to do with how the implant is placed.
Even a small difference in angle or position can affect how your teeth look, how your bite feels, and how long your implant lasts. In more complex cases, poor placement can even lead to complications or the need for additional procedures.
With traditional implant placement, even experienced surgeons rely on visual judgment and static guides. While results can still be good, there is always some level of variability.
Yomi changes that by allowing for real time feedback during the procedure. This means your surgeon can make precise adjustments as needed, ensuring the implant is placed exactly where it should be.
For you as a patient, that translates to a more predictable outcome and greater peace of mind.
Patients who choose robotic assisted implant surgery often notice the difference not just in the final result, but in the entire experience.
Because the procedure is digitally planned and guided, many cases can be completed with a more conservative approach. This often leads to less disruption of the surrounding tissue and a smoother recovery.
Some of the most important benefits include:
Another major advantage is consistency. With Yomi, your outcome is not based on estimation. It is based on a detailed plan that is followed with precision during the procedure.
To understand why Yomi is such a significant advancement, it helps to look at how it compares to more traditional approaches.
Traditional implant placement is often done freehand or with a static surgical guide. These methods rely heavily on pre planning, but they do not provide real time feedback during the procedure.
Once the procedure begins, adjustments are limited. The surgeon must rely on experience and visual cues.
With Yomi, the difference is that guidance continues throughout the entire procedure. The system provides haptic feedback and live tracking, allowing the surgeon to stay aligned with the original plan at every step.
This level of control is especially important in cases where precision is critical, such as full arch implants or areas with limited bone.

Yomi can be used in a wide range of implant cases, from single tooth replacements to full mouth reconstruction.
If you are missing one or more teeth, you may be a candidate for robotic assisted implant placement. It is particularly beneficial for patients who want the most advanced and precise approach available.

The best way to determine if Yomi is right for you is through a consultation. During your visit, your doctor will evaluate your specific situation and walk you through your options in detail.
Your experience with Yomi begins long before the procedure itself.
The first step is a detailed 3D scan of your mouth. This allows your surgeon to create a fully customized treatment plan based on your anatomy.
Every aspect of your case is mapped out in advance, including the position and angle of each implant. This planning stage is one of the most important parts of the process and is where Yomi truly sets itself apart.
On the day of your procedure, the system is used to guide the placement of your implants in real time. Your surgeon remains in full control while using the technology to ensure accuracy.
After the procedure, you will enter the healing phase, followed by the placement of your final restoration.
Throughout this process, our team will be there to support you and make sure everything progresses as expected.
