Dental Implants
Replace your missing teeth and get return to your healthy smile!
There are over 50 million Americans who are missing one or more of their natural teeth. This tooth loss can occur due to genetics, disease, decay, or even accidents. When this happens, our experienced dentists can use titanium dental implants to replace the teeth that are missing so your smile looks and functions normal and healthy again.
Windham Dental Associates, we use a variety of dental implant methods tailored to fit each patient's needs. Most common, are those that are directly inserted into the jawbone, called 'root form' implants.
Once these "artificial roots" are in place, they can be used to support dental crowns or removable dentures.
