Augmented reality navigation for implant dentistry
Narvi is an AR-assisted surgical navigation system for dental implantology, designed to display navigational guidance directly within the surgical field of view — instead of asking the clinician to look away toward a separate screen.
Developed by Freshmedica and Code & Quest
Live at the event
Meet Narvi at Smart Dentistry Day 2026
The event brings together clinicians, technologists and dental innovation teams exploring AI, AR, robotics and the future of digital dentistry. Paweł Świerzy will present Narvi as part of the conference programme, followed by an AR debate featuring the Narvi development team.
If you are attending, we would be very happy to speak with you during the networking session.
What Narvi is
Guidance that stays where the clinician is looking
Instead of dividing attention between the patient and an external navigation screen, Narvi explores a more natural workflow: visual guidance aligned with the patient and visible through an augmented reality headset.
The system is being developed to support implant placement by combining augmented reality visualisation, surgical planning data, computer vision, AI-assisted calibration and tracking, real-time overlay alignment, and clinician-centred interface design.
The problem
Precision, cost, complexity — and where you have to look
Modern implant dentistry often asks clinicians to balance precision, cost, workflow complexity and visibility.
Traditional surgical guides can improve predictability, but they introduce additional planning, manufacturing and fitting steps. Dynamic navigation systems can provide real-time guidance, but often require the clinician to divide attention between the patient and an external screen.
What if surgical navigation could remain in the clinician’s natural line of sight?
The Narvi approach
A planned guide, placed into your field of view
Narvi uses augmented reality to place a planned surgical guide into the clinician’s field of view. The system is being developed to support implant placement workflows by combining:
The goal is a navigation workflow that feels less intrusive, easier to adopt, and better aligned with the way clinicians already work.

Why it matters
Designed around four principles
Guidance without gaze aversion
The clinician should not need to repeatedly look away from the patient to follow navigation data.
Clearer surgical view
The system is designed to avoid bulky physical guides or tool attachments obstructing the focal area.
Workflow simplicity
The long-term direction of Narvi is to reduce setup complexity and move toward a lighter, software-led AR navigation workflow.
Wider accessibility
By reducing reliance on physical guides and complex hardware, Narvi aims to support a more scalable, cost-conscious approach to advanced implant navigation.

Where we are
Current development status
Narvi has progressed through several years of research and prototyping, including previous R&D funding, proof-of-concept development, international exhibition feedback and live development testing.
Current work focuses on simplifying the hardware architecture, improving AR alignment, reducing calibration burden, and preparing the system for further validation with clinical and research partners.
Prototype / research — not yet available for routine clinical use or commercial sale
