Look, I know you hate going to the dentist already, but let me give you yet another reason to hate it.

Yes, they now have robots that are capable of performing fully-automated dental procedures.

No joke, a robot actually did this.

A Boston-based tech company, backed by Mark Zuckerberg's dentist father, has successfully managed the world's first all-robotic dental procedure.

Perceptive, a business that harnesses artificially intelligent imaging software paired with a robotic arm, has taken a big bite out of future medical technology.

The initial treatment — which took place in Barranquilla, Colombia — shows the bot independently drilling into and shaving down a person's tooth, a process called 'cutting,' Stat News reported …

The ultimate goal is to use the automated machines for crown placements and similar procedures in 'just 15 minutes,' the company announced.

The technology works by scanning images beneath a patient's gumline and then using AI for analysis before the robotic arms are put into action.

Mark Zuckerberg's dentist dad (of course his dad would be a dentist), a key investor in Perceptive, had this to say:

The robotics system has been designed and rigorously tested to ensure that dentists can perform treatments safely, even in conditions where patient movement is prevalent.

Perceptive's robot dentist is not commercially available at the time being, but keep an eye out for it the next time you go to the dentist, which will probably be when, like 2032?

For all you creeps out there, here's what the procedure looked like:
