Dr. Jeremy Thompson, DDS

"I have never seen a company put together such a complete package for a full arch case (all-on-x). It's super organized. Also the workflow has been a dream for me. The speed and accuracy. When you take a final CBCT after the surgery, I see that the implants are exactly where you want them. The temporary restoration DIO provides fits perfectly and my patients are happy with them."

Dr. Ryan Cordero, DDS
San Luis Obispo, CA
I came into this program not knowing anything about the implants and was very nervous about starting this journey. But throughout the whole time here, everyone's been very patient with me and helpful and understanding. That really helped me learn.
DIO took a lot of planning and the guesswork when you place implants. A lot of the challenges were eliminated because we had the guide and it was very accurate and we were able to place a lot of implants predictably and safely in a shorter period of time. All of the DIO systems work together seamlessly, from the planning stages to actual surgery. I feel a hundred times more confident today to place implants compared to where I started a week ago.

Dr. Flint Tomlinson, DDS

"I have placed a lot of different implants as freehand for years. I am very confident in my ability to place implants with a free hand method, but through the DIO protocol and their surgical guides, I am more confident, and my surgery takes less time, and my patients have less discomfort and healing takes less time. I really like the surgical guides that DIO provides and it increases the efficiency of placing implants."
