Good dental health is important for
overall wellness. Dr. Stanley Armstrong in Windham has been helping people have
their best smile since 1981. Constantly improving himself to be better and
offer more services for his patients, Armstrong is accredited by the American
Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), of which he is the only one in the state,
the American Facial Astetics (AFA), Botox and fillers training, and the Academy
of General Dentistry. He is also certified by Pacific Training Institute of
Facial Aesthetics (PTIFA) to complete smile makeovers. He has studied and
taught at some of the best dental schools like the Las Vegas Institute for post-dentistry
training, Tufts University, New York University College and he has taught at
NYU, Baylor and University of Kentucky.
“Our goal is making people healthy. If a
patient is happy with their smile it will change their lives in many ways,”
said Armstrong.
He opened the doors to the current
practice at the corner of Route 302 and Route 35, in October 1985. In 1998, he
began doing same day crowns in his in house lab. With the lab, repairs and
restorations can be done in one day.
Armstrong Dental has a 3D x-ray/CT scanner
that can look at things in different perspectives to catch issues early,
especially when placing implants or to finding bone defects.
Dr. Armstrong believes that gum health is
a big issue and if not taken care of can lead to other complications like heart
attacks.
“You need to realize how important the
oral cavity is. A person can be compromised,” Armstrong said. Whether it’s a
hip or knee replacement or transplant, doctors are requiring dentists to okay
the surgery.
“Everything
we do benefits the patients,” said office manager Robbyn Mooradian, who has
been with Armstrong for 10 years. “Bleeding gums when you brush your teeth,
that’s bad. You need to be seen.”
With a staff of 12, consisting of four
hygienists, two assistants, three front desk staff, a clinical coordinator and CFO,
the practice is full of committed employees who have been at the office for an
average of 15 to 20 years.
For those who are nervous about visiting
the dentist, Armstrong offers nitrous oxide and conscious sedation to help
relax the patients.

The air in the office is surgically clean
air and the water is filtered and sterilized water after it comes in from the
public water system.
Armstrong Dental is a member of the Sebago
Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce and it contributes to the community through
various programs, like neighbors helping neighbors, yearbook, hosting a little
league team and helping with fundraisers. Dr. Armstrong also gifts battered
women smiles from start to finish.
Education is important for a dentist,
however just as important are the relationships he forms with his patients. The
lifetime relationships Dr. Armstrong has formed have allowed him to watch his
patients raise children and then to treat their children’s children. He is
accepting patients from toddlers to seniors. There is a kids’ room and prizes
for good check ups. Everyone leaves with a goodie bag, Mooradian said.
Armstrong Dental sells mints made with
Xylitol, electric toothbrushes and other items to keep mouths clean and healthy
in a safe and cost effective way.
“Teeth are what we do, but taking care of
people is what we’re about. We find a way to fix them,” said Armstrong. The
practice provides 24/7 concierge to make sure that patients can reach them
every day.
The office staff files with any insurance
company electronically. “We are a fee for service practice. We don’t allow
insurance to dictate what we do,” said Mooradian. Armstrong Dental also offers
24 month interest free financing.
Hours are Mondays and Wednesdays 7 a.m. to
2 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
