Dr. Gordon Christensen: Why Small-Diameter Implants Succeed

In this powerful edition of the Monday Morning Minute, Dr. Todd Shatkin welcomes the legendary Dr. Gordon Christensen to the Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. Training Center in Buffalo, NY. Together, they unpack decades of experience and share how the dental industry has come full circle—mini dental implants, once dismissed by skeptics, are now leading the charge in modern implantology. With success rates now surpassing traditional implants, the evidence is undeniable: smaller, one-piece implants dramatically reduce micromovement and bacterial complications, offering patients long-term results with minimal invasiveness.

Dr. Christensen, who has placed hundreds of mini implants since FDA clearance in 1997, discusses why even the biggest critics are now embracing the technology—and how Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. has stayed ahead of the curve. From single-tooth replacements to full-arch restorations, mini implants are proving to be the most versatile solution in the modern dental arsenal.
