About Us Overview

Dr. Ackerman took over the Valley Smiles office over 6 years ago. She quickly recognized the struggles many patients faced with loose dentures and partial plates. Many found their dentures uncomfortable, difficult to eat with, and reliant on messy adhesives.

Dr. Ackerman sought a better solution and discovered mini-dental implants—an affordable, non-surgical alternative to traditional implants. These mini implants require minimal healing time and offer a less invasive option, changing lives by allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods, regain confidence, and live fully.

Introducing Dr. Regan Ackerman

After years of searching for the perfect person to continue his commitment to patient care, Dr. Stroud met Dr. Regan Ackerman, DMD. Dr. Ackerman has been a practicing General Dentist in Louisville since the early 2000s. As a member of the Mini Dental Implant Centers of America™, she is an elite member of a group of dentists in the United States.

Patient Care

Having worked together with Dr. Stroud and training extensively with Dr. Todd Shatkin, she prides herself in giving her patients the unique care they deserve and strives to meet the needs of each patient and her staff, consisting of her husband and two others, operate as Freedom Mini Dental Implants at the same office Dr. Stroud established years ago. Together, Dr. Ackerman and Dr. Stroud have helped restore the smiles of well over6,000 patients throughout the Ohio Valley, central and western Kentucky, and Indiana. Locally, female-owned and family-run, Freedom Mini Dental Implants is not a franchise or a large corporate practice. You will be treated like family from your first visit and into the future.

Unique to the area, Freedom Mini Dental Implants exclusively uses the Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. implant technology developed by the leader in the mini-implant process, Dr. Todd Shatkin of New York. Dr. Ackerman uses the latest technology with advanced CT scanning for enhanced diagnosis and optimal placement. She is continuing the mission set by Dr. Stroud to change as many lives for the better as possible with mini dental implants in Louisville, KY.
