The Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. Technique: Original Overview
Learn the Patented Shatkin F.I.R.S.T.® Technique
In this technique overview, Dr. Todd Shatkin introduces doctors to the Shatkin F.I.R.S.T.® Technique, a patented approach to one-piece mini dental implant placement and restoration. After placing more than 40,000 mini dental implants, Dr. Shatkin has refined a predictable clinical workflow designed to simplify treatment, reduce surgical invasiveness, and expand implant options for appropriately selected patients.
Implementing mini dental implants can help your practice:
- Treat patients who may not qualify for conventional implants
- Reduce the need for extensive surgical procedures in many cases
- Provide immediate stabilization and restoration when clinically appropriate
- Expand your implant services and create a new source of practice revenue
- Improve patients’ function, confidence, and quality of life
The next step is hands-on training. Shatkin F.I.R.S.T.® offers introductory and advanced courses covering case selection, treatment planning, surgical protocols, restorative workflows, hands-on exercises, and proven strategies for integrating mini dental implants into your practice.
Training does not end when the course is over. Participating doctors can submit cases for complimentary review and receive ongoing treatment-planning guidance from Dr. Shatkin and the Shatkin F.I.R.S.T.® team.
Whether you are placing your first implant or expanding your existing capabilities, our courses provide the clinical instruction and support needed to move forward with confidence.
