This report presents four case studies illustrating how the Yomi® robotic system supported accelerated implant volume for associates and overall practice growth. Whether integrating new associates into a robotic practice or integrating robotics with an existing associate, robotic guidance and optimized team allocation resulted in substantial increases in implant volume and full-arch procedures
Key findings
The case studies reveal that adopting Yomi technology enables practices to increase implant procedures, improve efficiency, and differentiate themselves in competitive markets, ultimately leading to faster revenue generation and expanded service offerings.
Robotic guidance shortens the learning curve for new associates, enabling immediate contribution to implant procedures.
Yomi’s intraoperative flexibility allows for same-day planning and surgery, increasing case volume and efficiency.
Practices using Yomi experience significant growth in implant volume and full-arch procedures, often exceeding 50% increases.
The technology enhances accuracy, reduces complications, and serves as a marketing differentiator to attract more patients.
Adopting robotic systems like Yomi can strategically transform a practice’s growth trajectory and competitive positioning.

Conclusion
Robotic-assisted implant surgery with the Yomi® system can meaningfully shorten the productivity ramp-up for new associates and expand total practice capacity. Whether by adding an associate to an existing robotic practice or adding a robot to a practice with an associate, these case studies demonstrate substantial gains in implant volume, full-arch procedures, and case growth. Beyond clinical accuracy and safety, the technology functions as a strategic practice-growth tool—empowering associates, freeing senior clinicians for complex cases, and differentiating practices in a competitive implant market.
These outcomes suggest that robotic systems like Yomi should be considered not only for their clinical precision but also as strategic investments in practice growth. As adoption expands, the synergy between emerging associates and robotic platforms may redefine expectations for productivity in surgical dentistry.

Try Yomi – right
at your practice
There’s no better way to fully grasp the advantages of robot-assisted implant placement than to experience it for yourself. We launched the Yomi Mobile Showroom, so clinicians and surgical teams can get their hands on Yomi without having to travel or reschedule cases.
