Diplomate-Level Implant Care from a ZAGA-Certified Zygomatic Specialist
Dentistry by Dr. Kaplansky is led by Dr. Igor Kaplansky, DDS — Diplomate ABOI/ID and one of only 11 ZAGA-certified zygomatic implant specialists in the United States. From single-tooth placement to full-arch TeethNow restorations and zygomatic implants for severe bone loss, every case begins with a CBCT scan and a treatment plan built around you. One surgeon, every visit. Serving Lockport, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester and all of Western New York.
Single-tooth and multi-tooth implants placed using CBCT-guided digital planning by a Diplomate ABOI/ID specialist.
Anchored in the cheekbone for patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss — no grafting required in most cases.
Pre-designed healing teeth the day after surgery, then permanent zirconia teeth at 4–5 months. Zirconia, not acrylic.
Real patient transformations — Laura Shotwell, Douglas Foster, Wilda Lerczak and many more — restored by Dr. Kaplansky.
Dr. Kaplansky is the only ZAGA-certified zygomatic implant specialist in the Buffalo-Niagara region. Dentistry by Dr. Kaplansky is 1 of only 11 ZAGA Centers in the United States and approximately 60 worldwide. Patients told they lack the bone needed for standard implants often qualify for zygomatic implants, which anchor in the cheekbone rather than the jaw and eliminate the need for bone grafting in most cases.
Serving Lockport, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester and all of Western New York since 1998.
Every case begins with a CBCT scan and a treatment plan built specifically for you — never a stock case adapted to fit a surgery schedule.
DDS · Diplomate ABOI/ID · Fellow AAID/FICOI/FAGD · ZAGA Center Certified
Dr. Igor Kaplansky holds Diplomate-level board certification in oral implantology — a credential earned by fewer than 600 dentists in the United States — and co-authored the clinical textbook on zygomatic implant technique.
Credentials:
Diplomate-level board certification, CBCT-guided digital planning, and one surgeon at every visit. From your first consultation to permanent zirconia teeth, the entire process is delivered by Dr. Kaplansky and a stable, in-house team — no rotating associates.
Every implant case begins with a cone-beam CT scan and digital surgical planning. Your treatment plan is built around your anatomy, not adapted from a stock template.
TeethNow patients receive pre-designed healing teeth the day after surgery, then permanent zirconia teeth at 4–5 months. No bulky acrylic temporary, no prolonged denture conversion phase.
Single tooth, multi-tooth bridge, TeethNow full-arch and zygomatic pricing is quoted up front. CareCredit and in-house financing available, and we verify your dental insurance before treatment begins.
Dr. Kaplansky performs every implant placement himself — no rotating associates, no hand-offs between surgeon and prosthodontist. The same dentist who plans your case is the one who places your implants and finishes your final restoration.
If you've been told by another dentist that you don't have enough bone for implants, you may still qualify. TeethNow zirconia full-arch implants and ZAGA-certified zygomatic implants are designed for the exact patients other practices turn away. Anchored either in the jaw or — for severe bone loss — directly in the cheekbone, your restoration is permanent, stable, and finished in zirconia rather than acrylic.
