If you are considering dentures, schedule a free consultation before making your decision. Mini dental implants combine the benefits of dentures with the benefits of implants. Dentures have always been a low-cost way to replace lost teeth, but they can be uncomfortable and, because they are removable, can slip or fall out when chewing or talking. This can be embarrassing and often leave people feeling uncomfortable in social situations. Dental implants provide permanent replacement teeth that are strong and durable, but the cost is often higher than people can afford. This is where mini dental implants solve the problem.
Mini dental implants in Amherst, NY are affordable, less invasive than traditional dental implants, and can last a very long time with proper care and maintenance.

That’s why at the Aesthetic Associates Centre, Dr. Todd Shatkin actually invented the mini dental implants we use.

How Does The Mini Dental Implant Process Work?
- Examination: We examine the patient’s teeth, gums, and jaw. We take x-ray images so we know how much jaw bone and tissue we have to work with. Some of the factors we examine include the width of the bone available, whether there has been bone or tissue loss, and the strength of the bone.
- Consultation: After we gather some information, we can discuss your options for tooth replacement with you. Although many problems can be solved with mini dental implants, we perform many different procedures, including conventional dental implants, that may be better suited for your particular case.
- Preparation: Before your surgery for mini dental implants, we may need to prepare by extracting teeth or treating you for other dental conditions or diseases. Generally speaking, your jaw and gums must be strong enough to support a mini dental implant before we can operate.
- Surgery: On the day of surgery, you will receive anesthesia and your dentist will cut a small incision in your gum at the implantation site. A pilot hole is drilled into the jawbone and the threaded end of the implant is screwed into the bone with the post end protruding. The incision may require sutures to close.
- Mounting: If a single crown is attached to the post, it can be secured with a ball and socket joint or dental cement. For dentures, the ball and socket joint is usually preferred so you can remove the dentures for cleaning. In either case, the tooth or teeth are mounted immediately following implantation.
- Post-surgery: After surgery, you may feel some pain or discomfort for a few days. However, since the teeth are mounted before you leave our office, you can eat using your new teeth as soon as you are comfortable. In most cases, patients feel well enough to resume all normal activities within one to two days after surgery.
As a pioneer in both the technology and techniques used in mini dental implants, Dr. Todd Shatkin has the knowledge and experience with mini dental implants to help almost any patient who has experienced tooth loss. Whether you lost a single tooth or have experienced the loss of multiple teeth, Dr. Shatkin of the Aesthetic Associates Centre can help you find a solution to the speech, chewing, and smile problems your tooth loss has caused. In doing so, our goal is to help you recover your health, social confidence, and quality of life.
If you already have dentures, you may be able to use them with mini dental implant treatment. In many cases, your current dentures can be retrofitted to fit the implants and save on costs.
