About Todd E. Shatkin, DDS
Todd E. Shatkin, DDS runs a long-established practice on Kensington Avenue in the Eggertsville section of Amherst, just over the Buffalo line. The practice has the steadiness of a single-named office that's been a fixture in the same neighborhood for years — patients are often second-generation, the staff turnover is low, and the visit pace runs slower than a high-volume chain. If you've been looking for a practice where the same dentist sees you across appointments rather than rotating you through a roster, this is closer to that older model.
Filling work here covers the routine general-dentistry range — tooth-colored composite restorations for cavities caught at six-month checkups, replacement fillings when an old amalgam has cracked or leaked, and larger restorations on back molars where the bite forces matter. The dentist will discuss which material holds up best for your specific tooth's location and chewing pattern, including the practical tradeoffs of composite versus amalgam for high-load molars. Beyond fillings, the practice covers cleanings, exams, extractions, crowns, and the kind of full-service general dentistry that handles most needs in-house.
If you've been with a chain practice and want to move to a smaller solo office for routine care, a new-patient visit here is a low-stakes way to see if the slower pace fits.
Patients searching for affordable dental fillings in Buffalo, composite filling cost in Buffalo, or amalgam vs composite filling in Buffalo who live in Eggertsville, Snyder, or northern Amherst often gravitate toward established solo practices like this one. The continuity is the differentiator. For Kensington-corridor and Amherst residents picking a regular dentist, this practice is a reasonable first appointment. Long-running practices tend to have well-documented histories on returning patients, which means treatment decisions years apart can reference what was actually seen and done before rather than reinventing the diagnostic baseline at every visit. That continuity matters most when a tooth that was filled five years ago starts giving you trouble again.
Todd E. Shatkin, DDS runs a Kensington Avenue practice in Buffalo's Eggertsville area, providing general and restorative dentistry — fillings, cleanings, and routine cavity care for adult and family patients.

Dr.Tom Spulecki at Aesthetic Associates Centre is very professional. He explains exactly what procedures he is planning. He is considerate & really cares about my comfort. I trust him & believe in his expertise. I highly recommend him .
Excellent experience as always. The doctor is prompt, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. He explains what he is doing to alleviate stress and anxiety during the procedure. The dental technicians are also very professional and kind. Although dental work is never fun, the staff always makes it a good experience. Can not recommend them highly enough. If you need implants this is the place to go.
I cannot recommend this office enough. For a busy office, the level care and attention per patient is outstanding. I’ve even brought my grandma there to have her partial fixed and they did it, and do a great job. Definitely a good place to go.
Tammy is so thorough with cleaning my teeth! I literally walk out with a new smile! I'm so glad to be one of her patients. Not only is she highly skilled, but she's also incredibly personable and insightful. Plus, as a fellow foodie and Bills fan, she makes the visit fly by. She’s a wonderful asset to the team!
I can’t say enough good things about this practice; Dr. Spulecki and the entire team are truly exceptional. Everyone is warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. They make every step of the process feel smooth and stress-free. The whole office has such a fun, friendly energy; the assistants and Dr. Spulecki are hilarious and make you feel completely at ease. I actually enjoy my visits which, let’s be honest, is not something most people say about going to the dentist. Dr. Spulecki is also efficient, precise, and reassuring at every turn. It is clear that everyone here takes their role seriously and actually cares about the people they’re treating. I feel listened to, taken seriously, and completely confident that I am in good hands; thanks to the whole team. If you’re looking for a practice where the care is meticulous and the staff is genuinely invested in getting things right, I’d recommend Dr. Spulecki and this office without hesitation.
Dr. Todd Shatkin runs an excellent practice. I saw both Dr. Todd and his son, Dr. Jared, this morning for an aesthetic consultation. From the moment I walked in the staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. I also was treated by Tammy, who gave my teeth a thorough and efficient cleaning! I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dental group that is both professional and compassionate!
It was such a pleasure to be assisted by Tammy Shaw. A good day at the Dentist is when you have a Dental Hygienist that makes you feel easy while your teeth are being cleaned. She has a conversation with you, and discuss any concerns while working. Not to mention that Tammy can also make you laugh! Oh, and Go Bills Tammy!!
I highly recommend Shatkin Dental. Everyone was very nice and professional. Dr Spulecki was fantastic! He took a lot of time to go over everything with me and answered all my questions.
I highly recommend Angelica. She is the best hygienist I’ve ever experienced. She is gentle and caring. I can’t say enough about my positive experience. The Shatkin practice is so professional and all of the staff are so inviting. I’d give them all the stars they deserve. Love you Angelica
