At Chicago Surgical Specialists, your comfort and optimal results are our top priorities. That’s why we leverage cutting-edge technology like Yomi robotic assisted implant placement. Yomi assists our board-certified oral surgeons in achieving unparalleled precision and efficiency during dental implant procedures, leading to shorter recovery times and a more seamless experience for our Park Ridge, IL patients.
What Is Yomi?
Yomi is a robotic-assisted surgical system used to streamline the dental implant process. The system acts as a highly precise guide for the oral surgeon and allows for immediate dental implant placement.
Essentially, Yomi combines 3D planning with real-time navigation to help oral surgeons place dental implants more accurately. It involves:
- Pre-operative planning: Using detailed 3D images of your jaw, your surgeon plans the ideal placement for each implant in a virtual environment.
- Robotic guidance: During surgery, Yomi provides your surgeon with haptic feedback (physical sensations), guiding them to the precise location and angle planned for each implant.
- Real-time visualization: The system tracks the surgical instruments and your anatomy in real time, ensuring accuracy and increased safety throughout the procedure.
Benefits of Robotic Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants are standard-of-care for replacing missing teeth, allowing long-lasting and natural-looking results. Yomi robotic implant placement provides additional benefits, including:
- Improved precision and accuracy: Yomi reduces the margin of error, which can lead to more predictable and successful implant outcomes.
- Reduced invasiveness: The precise guidance allows for smaller incisions and less trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Faster recovery: Less invasive surgery translates to reduced post-operative discomfort and faster healing times.
- Enhanced patient experience: Patients often report greater confidence and satisfaction with their implant treatment when using Yomi.

The Yomi Robotic Implant Placement Process
Your journey begins with an evaluation, allowing one of our board-certified surgeons to assess your medical and dental health and confirm your eligibility for implant care. On the day of the procedure itself, you will receive anesthesia to promote your comfort and safety. A CBCT (3-D X-ray) will be obtained. Your doctor will extract any unhealthy teeth before placing dental implants, using the Yomi system to promote accuracy and precision. Once your implants have healed and integrated with the surrounding jawbone, your restorative dentist will create final replacement teeth to match your existing teeth.
Robotic Implant Placement Recovery
Robotic implants may also improve recovery for single implants since, in most cases, the implants are placed without gum tissue flaps. In the context of dental implant procedures, flapless surgery refers to a minimally invasive technique where the implant is placed without making incisions or lifting the gum tissue (flap) to expose the jawbone. Instead, a small hole is created directly through the gum tissue to access the bone for implant placement. This allows for less invasive implant placement and improved aesthetics and recovery.
