What is Robotically Assisted Dental Surgery?
In the same way that a GPS guides a pilot or a driver, robotic assistance provides Dr. Kroum Dimitrov with real-time, physical guidance during your dental implant procedure. It is important to understand that the robot does not “perform” the surgery. Instead, it acts as a highly sophisticated extension of the surgeon’s hand, ensuring that every implant is placed with a level of accuracy that is physically impossible to achieve “freehand.”
At Love Your Jaws Surgery Center, we utilize the Yomi® Robotic System – the first and only FDA-cleared robotic device for dental implant surgery. Since its introduction in 2016, this technology has transformed the patient experience by combining elite surgical expertise with digital perfection.
The “GPS” for Your Smile: How it Works
The Yomi system integrates seamlessly with our all-digital workflow. Here is how your journey unfolds:
- 3D Digital Mapping: We start by creating a high-resolution 3D map of your jaw and nerve structures.
- Virtual Planning: Dr. Dimitrov plans the exact position, depth, and angle of your implant on a computer before the surgery even begins.
- Haptic Guidance: During the procedure, the robotic arm provides “haptic” feedback. It guides the surgeon to the precise location, preventing any deviation from the plan. If the patient moves, the robot tracks that movement in real-time and adjusts instantly.
- Surgical Autonomy: Dr. Dimitrov remains in total control. The robot simply provides a “no-go” safety zone, ensuring the implant never touches a nerve or a sinus cavity.
Why Choose Robotic-Assisted Surgery?
Patients at our South Miami practice choose robotic surgery because it offers significant advantages over traditional methods:
| Feature | Traditional Surgery | Yomi Robotic-Assisted |
| Precision | Visual estimation (Freehand). | Millimeter-level digital accuracy. |
| Incision Type | Often requires larger gum flaps. | Minimally invasive / Flapless. |
| Recovery | Standard swelling and healing. | Less trauma, faster recovery. |
| Speed | Multiple appointments for guides. | Often eligible for “Same-Day” teeth. |
| Safety | Relies on surgeon’s line of sight. | Physical guardrails for vital structures. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the robot doing the surgery?
No. Dr. Dimitrov is in full control at all times. The robot provides physical guidance (haptic feedback) to ensure the surgical plan is followed with 100% accuracy.
Does robotic surgery cost more?
While the technology is advanced, the efficiency it provides often offsets the costs by reducing the number of appointments and potential complications. Our administrative team will provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.
Can I get my teeth the same day?
Because the robotic system allows for such high predictability, many patients are candidates for “Same Day” dental implants, where a temporary tooth is placed immediately after the implant.
