Yomi S Is the Newest Generation of Neocis' Dental Robot

Neocis built its Yomi platform for dental implant surgery, and Yomi S is the newest generation of that system, recently recognized with a 2026 TAG Award for MedTech in Robotic & Procedural Innovation. Yomi S is a computerized robotic navigational system that assists a clinician through both the planning and surgical phases of dental implant placement, providing physical, haptic guidance.

Neocis states the underlying Yomi platform remains the first and only FDA-cleared robot-assisted system of its kind.

Guidance a Clinician Can Feel, Not Just See

Yomi S's core mechanism is haptic feedback: the system provides physical resistance that helps a clinician keep the drill on the pre-planned path, in the direction and depth actually planned for that patient. Neocis states this happens alongside real-time patient tracking, meaning the guidance continues to line up correctly even if the patient's head shifts slightly during the procedure.

Neocis draws a direct line between this approach and existing methods on its own comparison chart. Freehand surgery is described as prioritizing speed over precision, with real risk of hitting nerves or neighboring teeth and inconsistent drilling depth. Static, printed guides offer more precision but no ability to change the plan once the patient is in the chair, along with real costs and delays tied to reprinting a guide if anything changes. Screen-based navigation systems give a digital view of the plan but only suggestions rather than physical guidance, according to Neocis, meaning a clinician's attention shifts from the patient to the monitor. Neocis positions Yomi S as combining the flexibility to adjust a plan mid-surgery with the physical precision the other three approaches don't offer together.

What's Actually New in This Generation

Yomi S was built specifically around single-clinician control, letting one person run voice commands, a touchscreen, gesture controls, and an integrated drill console without needing a second team member to help operate the system. Neocis states the platform is ambidextrous, meaning it can be used from either side of the dental chair, with an extended guide-arm range of motion, streamlined drill and irrigation adjustments, and improved ergonomics built to reduce strain during longer procedures.

Physical design changes were made specifically to improve visibility and access during surgery. Neocis states the new design gives a clinician better line of sight and improved dexterity for complex, full-arch cases, while also taking up less physical space in an operatory than the previous generation. LED visual feedback was added alongside the voice and touchscreen inputs, giving a clinician multiple simultaneous ways to confirm the system's guidance during a procedure.

Neocis ties these design changes to specific patient-facing benefits: flapless, minimally invasive surgery intended to mean less discomfort and faster recovery, the ability to complete planning, surgery, and restoration all in the same day, and what the company describes as better anterior aesthetics for a more natural-looking smile.

Usage Statistics and Clinician Feedback

Neocis states that more than 100,000 implants have been placed using Yomi technology, at a pace the company describes as roughly one robotically placed implant every 6 minutes, and that practices see, on average, 60% growth in implant volume in the six months following installation. Several practicing dentists and oral surgeons are quoted directly on the Neocis website describing specific outcomes, including one surgeon who states he completes a full-arch case in about 21 minutes on average.

These are testimonials the company has selected to feature on its own site, drawn from named, identifiable clinicians rather than anonymous reviewers. Neocis separately points to published clinical research, available through its own clinical evidence page, for readers looking for peer-reviewed data.
