The Yomi Robotic Dental System is the only FDA-cleared robot-assisted dental surgery system in the U.S.

Dr. Costa purchased the robot for his practice in October. Malone and Costa Dentistry is one of two practices in Tennessee offering robotic-assisted dental implant surgery using the Yomi robot, according to the report.

“It’s a big investment for the practice, but it’s a better investment for the patients,” Dr. Costa told The Daily Times. “It’s more accurate, it’s safer — I think it’s the new gold standard of implant surgical care.”

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
