Robot surgeon makes dental procedures faster, less invasive

Zachary West broke his tooth and instead of getting a traditional crown, he opted for an implant. But this one was being done with robotic assistance and because of that, an implant which would normally involve a three to four month procedure was done in a day.

you cannot put the crown same day that's a lie, implant still need to integrate into bone and if is a molar with multiple roots you still need s bone graft before that, lots of misleading information. With regular traditional implant you can also go to work the same day, I did when I had mine place. By the way I am a dentist I know what I am talking about

Whoever says it will replace dentists guys its only for implants dentists also do extract wisdom, puts braces, prosthodontist, pediatrics and even though who is that dentist that will buy a 200k dollar machine with 15k dollar per month for maintains? Basically 1 out of 5 million dentists! There are dentists I know still lacks to get the equipment but they are trusted actually. It is briefly a tool that will be used by very very famous big hospitals that are one in each continent. Just don't worry about it! In 1990s they said there will be flying cars in 2020 like LOL and you telling me this will replace dentists.

None of this is any different than a guided implant surgery. Takes less than 10 minutes to place an implant with a guide.
