Yomi was named one of Dentistry Today’s Readers’ Choice Top 50 Technology Products of 2024. From robotics and facial scanning to new laser technologies, dentistry is experience a wave of innovation, and Neocis is proud to be part of it.
MIAMI, Sept. 30, 2024 — Neocis®, the global leader in robot-assisted dental implant surgery, and Dr. Jonathan Ehlers, owner of Tiger Family Dental in Sedalia, Missouri, recently authored a paper on the relationship between implant volume and adoption of robot-assisted implant surgery.
Published by Dental Economics earlier this month, the in-depth analysis is based on two years of data provided by Tiger Family Dental and ten other general dentistry practices across the country that place implants with Yomi®.
In “Adopt the Yomi robotic system to increase implant volume and profitability for your practice”, Ehlers compares each office’s implant volume one year before and one year after robotic implementation. Prior to Yomi adoption, these practices were placing anywhere from 21 to 761 dental implants annually. After a full year with Yomi, every office had grown its total implant volume. The average growth percentage among the group was 137% – with a median increase of 70 implants. One of the practices, which is located in Austin, Texas, placed 529% more implants in its first year with the Yomi platform.
“Adopting robotic technology for dental implant placement can have a positive economic effect on the user’s practice,” said Ehlers. “Using robotic technology can increase implant procedural growth and patient throughput by cultivating a modern, digital practice.”
Robot-assisted implantation is made possible by Yomi, the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared robotic system for dental implant surgery. The Yomi platform assists clinicians during all phases of bone preparation and implant placement via streamlined digital planning and haptic guidance of surgical instrumentation. This allows users to place implants more accurately and precisely than any other treatment modality available. To date, more than 60,000 implants have been placed with robotic assistance.
“There is tremendous opportunity for providers to increase their share of the rapidly growing dental implant market,” said Alon Mozes, Neocis’ co-founder and CEO. “And our technology can help them accomplish just that. We were thrilled to see Dr. Ehler’s data, which illustrates how Yomi providers are growing their businesses while also providing state-of-the-art clinical care.”
About Yomi
The Yomi robotic system is a computerized robotic navigational system intended to provide assistance in both the planning and intraoperative phases of dental implantation surgery. The system can also be used to plan and execute guided alveoloplasty of the mandible and/or maxilla. Yomi is intended for use in partially edentulous and fully edentulous adult patients who qualify for dental implants. Visit neocis.com to learn more about Yomi or schedule a hands-on demo.

Troy Family Dental was in their local news discussing the benefits of Yomi. Dr. Jordan Spencer says “when we use the robot, we don’t have to open up the gums, you can walk in off the street and we can plant it right there and put it in. So it’s quicker healing, less invasive, less painful, and it’s very accurate.”
