Missing Teeth?
Loose Dentures?
Mini Dental Implants provide a non-invasive, affordable solution for people suffering with missing teeth or loose dentures.
If you’re cutting food into smaller pieces, avoiding certain meals, or checking your dentures before you speak or laugh, you’re already adjusting your life around a problem that hasn’t been solved. You may be relying on adhesive every day or have learned to tolerate movement. That is not a stable solution. It is a workaround.
At the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Scranton, PA, Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr., Dr. Louis Genello, and Dr. Andrew Knott take a different approach. Their goal is not to help you manage the problem better. Their goal is to fix it. That means using the full range of implant solutions, including mini dental implants, conventional implants, or a combination, based entirely on what will give you the most stable, long-term result. The solution is built around your situation, not forced into a one-size-fits-all approach.
Mini dental implants can often stabilize dentures or replace missing teeth with fewer steps and faster results, often without bone grafting. For many patients, that means restoring function quickly. The advantage here is flexibility.
Dr. Hazzouri works with a full set of tools and techniques, allowing him to adapt the treatment to your anatomy, your needs, and your goals. Whether your case calls for mini implants, conventional implants, or a combination, the plan is built to deliver stability, function, and long-term predictability.
What changes is practical and immediate. You stop thinking about your teeth. You eat what you want. You speak without hesitation. You eliminate adhesives, movement, and daily adjustments. This is not a temporary improvement. It is a long-term correction.
Our practice has been part of Scranton since 1949, founded by Dr. Hazzouri’s father and still led by the same family today. It operates out of the historic former baggage claim building next to the Lackawanna rail station, unchanged in location and consistent in care.
That legacy now extends into the next generation as Dr. Hazzouri’s daughter was recently accepted into dental school at the University of Pennsylvania, where she will prepare to carry on the family tradition as a third-generation dentist. For patients, this reflects more than history. It reflects a long-term commitment to the community, the profession, and the standard of care established by the Hazzouri family. Patients who have been coming here for decades. Multi-generational families. A team built on long-term relationships, not turnover.
Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr., Dr. Louis Genello, and Dr. Andrew Knott provide complete care in one location, including implant dentistry, denture stabilization, restorative and cosmetic services, and facial aesthetic treatments. Every plan is built around function first and designed to last.
If you are tired of adjusting your life around unstable teeth or dentures, this is where that changes. Schedule your free consultation and get a clear, direct answer on what will actually work for you.
Dr. Hazzouri is the only dentist in the region to hold diplomate status in all of the following organizations: the International Academy of Mini Dental Implants, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, the American Society of Osseointegration, and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
This level of training and recognition reflects his advanced expertise across both mini and conventional implant systems, giving you access to a broader range of solutions done correctly.

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.
In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is significantly less expensive than a traditional implant case, saving you money.
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.
Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.
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.
