Our take
Neocis has the dental implant robot category largely to itself in the US. Yomi gives the surgeon haptic guidance on a planned path, replacing printed surgical guides, and has collected 16 FDA 510(k) clearances.1,3
Adoption is real: more than 100,000 osteotomies, a dental school customer, and a second-generation Yomi S that keeps adding indications. Weak points are prices that are not published and the cost of a capital robot for a single dental practice.4,2,5
Scores by criterion
Each criterion is defined on our methodology page.
Who uses Neocis and what it's for
Oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and implant dentists use Yomi for single implants, full-arch cases, bone reduction, and now pterygoid implants.2,5
Boston University's Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine was the first US dental school to install Yomi and teach robot-guided implantology.2
History
Alon Mozes and Juan Salcedo, then principal engineers at orthopedic robot maker MAKO Surgical, began designing Yomi in 2008 and founded Neocis in Miami in 2009. Fred Moll, founder of Intuitive Surgical, led its first funding round in 2012.2
Yomi won FDA clearance for single implants in 2016 and sold its first system in 2017. Neocis raised a $72 million Series D, then $20 million more in 2023 with Mirae Asset and NVIDIA's NVentures.2,6,3
Yomi and Yomi S
Yomi is an end-to-end platform for planning, surgery, and restoration. Its arm gives haptic feedback and physical guidance to keep the drill on plan, and the clinician can change the plan during surgery.1
Yomi S, launched in 2025, is the second generation. In October 2026 it and the YomiPlan software received FDA clearance for pterygoid implants, placed deep in the back of the upper jaw at steep angles.2,5

Limits
Prices are not published.1
Revenue is not disclosed. We estimate it at $20 million to $50 million, based on more than 100,000 osteotomies, about 140 employees in 2022, and more than $90 million raised in its last two rounds. This is an estimate, not a reported figure.4,6,3
Neocis sells mainly in the US, where its FDA clearances apply.3
What customers say
Where it helps
By removing the need for printed surgical guides, Yomi lets practices plan and operate in the same visit, so patients can get teeth in as little as one visit.1
Neocis says an implant is placed with Yomi about every 3.8 minutes.1
Where it falls short
Practices that want lower-cost guidance without a robot arm may get more from dynamic navigation systems such as ClaroNav's Navident or X-Nav's X-Guide.
