General Dentistry

---

Our general dentistry office provides tooth colored fillings to save you from a mouth full of metal. Not only do natural-looking composite fillings save you from potential embarrassment stemming from a metallic grin, they’re also able to bond with your tooth more effectively. This means natural-colored fillings are less likely to leave spaces in which bacteria can form. Save your tooth from extensive damage today!

Dr.Gorman places all of the tooth colored fillings himself.

Using the same composite material, dental bonding can also be performed on teeth that need cosmetic enhancement for chips, cracks, or permanent stains. Because these fillings bond to teeth, we can preserve more of your healthy tooth structure. There’s no need to make the cavity bigger, deeper, or undercut, as is usually required for silver amalgam fillings.

Teeth can be lost from trauma, Periodontal disease, or may be missing since birth. Teeth may have had several fillings over their life – each one bigger than the last, which makes the remaining tooth weak. Crowns or caps can strengthen the remaining tooth and help you keep it for a lifetime. Our reconstructive dental practice has provided excellent crowns and bridges to patients in the Grand Junction, CO area so we understand the effect that marred teeth can have on your self-confiendce. Our goal is to preserve teeth as conservatively as possible, while restoring health, comfort, and function to your mouth.

If you’ve suffered permanent dental damage to all or most of your teeth, getting through the day can be a struggle. You might be too self-conscious to return a smile, and you’re probably missing out on your favorite foods. Dr. Gorman's Grand Junction office has a dependable solution for your look and self-image. We offer custom-fitted dentures and partial dentures as a removable and easy-to-clean solution.

When patients first come to our relaxed and peaceful office environment looking for a resolution to their tooth loss, most find it hard to believe that dentures or partials will be sturdy and reliable enough for their dental needs. Ill-fitting dentures are a thing of the past! Our staff works hard to ensure that your new smile solution will be dependable and secure. The dentures that we offer are designed and created to fit your jaw and mouth.

The benefits of dentures or partials are numerous. First, you’ll be able to eat much more normally than you’d be able to manage without tooth replacement, so you won’t have to sacrifice as many of your favorite dishes. Next, dentures will provide the support your facial muscles need to prevent changes to the shape of your face. The muscles in your cheeks need support to avoid drooping inward and sagging. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, you’ll be able to regain confidence as you return smiles with a stunning one of your own.

A full denture is a great solution if you need to replace all of your teeth. A partial denture works when some teeth are missing, while other natural teeth stay intact. Partials are supported and held in place by your existing strong teeth, and full dentures require suction and perhaps a dental adhesive to remain in place. Dental Implants can be used to help make your denture feel more secure. Both partial dentures and full dentures are removable and easy to clean. Just use a toothbrush to clean your denture or partial denture, and then soak it overnight in water, perhaps with an added denture-cleaning tablet. It is very important that your denture fits well. Dr. Gorman works with very talented lab technicians to help achieve an excellent fit, with good appearance and function.

When teeth, gums, and/or bone tissue have sustained extensive damage, experienced cosmetic dentist Dr. Gorman can develop customized full mouth restoration treatment plans to rebuild smiles that are comfortable, healthy, and beautiful. He is highly trained and exceptionally skilled in a broad spectrum of restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry techniques. His approach is always focused on using advanced technology, effective treatments, and high-quality materials to create functional, long-lasting results that look incredibly natural. 

Dental implants are biocompatible, custom-machined parts that are essentially cylindrical posts designed to fit into the jaw and support several types of restorations. When used to replace teeth or to stabilize dentures, dental implants are carefully placed into the jawbone where they fuse with the bone tissue during healing. The bone grows around and sometimes through the implant to secure it permanently within the bone. Dental implants can be used as anchors for partial dentures or bridges or to assist in moving teeth during orthodontic treatment. Implants that replace teeth function like the roots of natural teeth.

Are your teeth chipped, cracked, or malformed? Were you born with naturally darker enamel that makes getting your picture taken a nightmare? Have your teeth been permanently stained beyond the help of professional teeth-whitening systems? Having a smile that’s misshapen or discolored is less than desirable, and can make it hard to maintain a high level of self-confidence. You may have heard about recent advancements in cosmetic dentistry, such as porcelain veneers, which can simply and effectively correct cosmetic problems to create new smiles. What you might not be aware of is what porcelain porcelain veneers are and how the treatment process works. Using porcelain veneers, teeth that are discolored, chipped, or have gaps between them can look as good as, or better than, new.

Your smile says a lot about who you are. In fact, studies show that those people with flawless smiles are perceived as being more intelligent, successful, and attractive. If you’re unhappy with any part of your smile, there’s no reason to hide your grin or frown in family portraits. Dr. Gorman and his dental team offer a variety of cosmetic dentistry services to transform smiles for patients with chipped, cracked, stained, or unevenly spaced teeth. We are dedicated to finding just the right treatment to help patients fall in love with their smiles. Many people believe they need extensive restorative or orthodontic treatments to correct their less than perfect smiles, but we may be able to offer a minimally invasive, cost-effective cosmetic alternative – dental bonding. Bonding uses the same high-quality composite resin we utilize for tooth-colored fillings to correct or conceal purely cosmetic flaws.

Dr. Gorman and his team provide professional in-office teeth whitening to remove stains and discolorations so that you can once again feel confident in sharing your smile with others. After your whitening treatment you can go home with a fresh and brighter smile.

Invisalign treatment is practically an invisible way to straighten your teeth using cutting-edge 3D computer-imaging technology. Invisalign technology takes the current and final straightened position of your teeth, to map out a treatment plan that gradually aligns your teeth.
We use a ITERO Scanner that digitally captures the structure of the teeth and gums using the latest optical technology. With a simple scan (in most cases) we can skip the messy, cold  and uncomfortable process of impressions. Crowns, bridges, INVISALIGN and much, much more.
