Dr. Payne is an oral surgeon with an interest in technology. He uses the Yomi robotic system to place the implants.

“Using the Yomi robotic system, you don’t have to make an incision in the gum tissue, there’s no stitches; it’s quicker. Therefore, the recovery time is much faster,” Dr. Payne told WINK. “There’s very little, if any, discomfort, and the patient gets what they want quicker, which is a tooth.”

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.
