The Mini Dental Implant Advantage
Half The Size
Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.
Half The Cost
In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is less than half the cost of a traditional implant case, saving you money.
Preserves Bone Structure
Implants preserve your natural bone structure so you can maintain the shape of your face and avoid continued bone loss where teeth are missing.
Immediate Results
Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.
Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits
Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.
No More Decay
Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.

Dr. Shatkin and Dr. Mann make a great team! I have seen both and both truly cared for me. The consult was free and even included an x-ray. I was missing a tooth and they were able to replace it in 2 visits! Amazing !! Thank you both for your quality, affordable dentistry!

Dr. Shatkin and Dr. Mann did a great job for me. I came into their Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Scottsdale missing two lower teeth, they took a free x-ray and showed me what my new teeth would look like on a model. This entire procedure took less than 1 hour without any pain. I would highly recommend mini dental implants to anyone.
