Spend A Day (or Two) With Us:
Free One-Piece Mini & Mono Implant CE Course

February 27th & 28th, 2026

Train with Dr. Todd Shatkin and Graduates of his NYU Langone AEGD-NY Residency 

This free first day of our introductory implant course is structured for dental students, early-career dentists, and general practitioners who want a simplified, repeatable implant workflow. The training combines hands-on instruction and live surgical observation, focused on one-piece mini dental implants and mono implants.

Attendees also have the opportunity to stay for day 2 where they will see live surgeries, and place implants in animal bone in our brand-new pre-clinical lab, earning up to 16 CE credits and leaving with foundational skills and a streamlined clinical framework, supporting the ability to begin implant placement as soon as the next day.

Hosted by Dr. Todd Shatkin, DDS, a global leader in mini and mono dental implant technology, with more than 45,000 one-piece mini dental implants personally placed. Clinical outcomes from his protocols document success rates above 95%. Dr. Shatkin is the innovator and patent holder of the F.I.R.S.T® Technique (Fabricated Implant Restorations and Surgical Technique), a proven, same-visit implant and restoration workflow adopted by more than 40,000 dentists worldwide.

The F.I.R.S.T. technique enables efficient one-piece implant placement with immediate provisionalization for single-tooth and multi-tooth cases, reducing procedural handoffs, restorative uncertainty, and treatment delays. This course gives participants direct access to the clinical decision-making, surgical sequencing, and chairside efficiency that drive predictable outcomes and faster skill-to-practice transition.

Why This Training Matters

One-piece mini implants and mono implants lower peri-implantitis risk compared with two-piece systems by removing the implant-abutment microgap and reducing internal spaces where microbes can persist. This one-piece approach also simplifies the surgical-to-restorative workflow for new clinicians, decreasing mechanical variables, shortening procedure times, and accelerating the transition from training to placing implants in practice.

Who This Course Is For

  • New dentists entering practice
  • Dental students preparing for clinical licensing and career growth
  • Clinicians evaluating one-piece implant systems and predictable chairside protocols

What You’ll Learn

  • One-piece mini implant protocols
  • Mono implant placement principles
  • Case selection and treatment planning
  • Surgical placement workflow
  • Immediate restoration fundamentals
  • CE-eligible clinical day with faculty mentorship
