How many robotic implant procedures has the surgeon performed?

Experience matters. Ask about the surgeon's specific experience with robotic systems, not just traditional implants. Look for surgeons who have completed dozens or hundreds of robotic-assisted cases.

What is included in the quoted price for dental implants?

Ask specifically what's included: consultation, 3D imaging, implants, abutments, crowns/bridges, sedation, follow-up visits. Also ask what's NOT included, like extractions or bone grafting.

What are the success rates for robotic dental implants?

Quality practices track their outcomes. Robotic implant success rates typically range from 94-100%. Ask about the specific practice's rates and what happens if an implant fails.

5 Questions to Ask Before Getting Robotic Dental Implants

Choosing to get dental implants is a significant decision. Choosing where and with whom to get them is equally important. Not all robotic implant providers are the same, and asking the right questions can help you find the best fit for your needs.

Here are the five questions we recommend asking before any robotic dental implant procedure.

1. "How many robotic implant procedures have you personally performed?"

Experience matters—a lot. While robotic assistance improves outcomes, the surgeon's skill and experience are still critical. You want someone who has completed dozens or hundreds of robotic cases, not someone who just started.

What to look for: Surgeons with 50+ robotic procedures, preferably including cases similar to yours.

2. "What's included in the price you quoted me?"

Implant pricing can be confusing. Some quotes include everything; others leave out major costs. Get clarity on exactly what you're paying for.

Ask specifically about:

Consultation and 3D imaging
Robotic guidance fees
Implant(s), abutment(s), and crown(s)/bridge
Sedation
Extractions (if needed)
Bone grafting (if needed)
Follow-up appointments
Warranty coverage

3. "What are your success rates, and what happens if an implant fails?"

Quality practices track their outcomes. Don't be shy about asking for data. Also understand the policy if something goes wrong.

What to look for: Success rates of 94%+ (robotic typically achieves 94-100%). Clear policy on revisions or replacements if implants fail within warranty period.

4. "Can I see before and after photos of similar cases?"

Photos tell the story that statistics can't. Ask to see cases similar to yours—same number of implants, similar condition, comparable age.

Bonus: Ask if you can speak with a past patient. Quality practices often have patients willing to share their experience.

5. "What will my recovery look like, realistically?"

Get honest expectations about pain, swelling, time off work, and dietary restrictions. A practice that gives you realistic expectations builds trust—beware of anyone who makes it sound too easy.

Typical honest answers: 2-3 days of noticeable swelling, 1-2 weeks of soft foods, return to work in 1-3 days for desk jobs.

Bonus Questions Worth Asking

If you want to go deeper, consider these additional questions:

"What robotic system do you use, and why?" — The Yomi system is FDA-cleared and most established, but know what technology you're getting.
"What sedation options are available?" — Options should range from local anesthesia to IV sedation based on your needs.
"What materials do you use for the final restoration?" — Zirconia is the premium standard; understand your options.
"How long have you had the robotic system?" — A practice that's had their system for years has likely refined their protocols.
"What financing options are available?" — Understand your payment options before committing.

Red Flags to Watch For

Be cautious if a practice:

Can't or won't answer questions about success rates
Pressures you to commit immediately
Quotes unusually low prices (quality costs money)
Has no reviews or testimonials from real patients
Won't let you see before/after photos
Minimizes potential risks or recovery time
