Your Twin Cities Dentist in North Oaks, MN
What We Love About North Oaks, MN
North Oaks is one of the few private communities in the Twin Cities, and residents love the natural beauty and many lakes prohibiting motorized boats, which are great for peaceful kayaking and canoeing. Miles of groomed nature trails lead through the city’s forest and prairie lands with an impressive 628 acres of conservation area.
With all of this vast beauty, it’s easy to see why The Gorman Center for Fine Dentistry made North Oaks its home to provide exceptional, life-changing dentistry for all of Minnesota.

Hill.

Let Our Clients From North Oaks Tell You Why They Chose Dr. Steve Gorman
Heidi’s Story
Heidi had a history of having a near full mouth rehabilitation from 20+ years ago. They were of the porcelain to metal variety and were starting to break down. The unrestored lower front teeth were severely worn and there was gum recession to the point that many of the metal understructures were starting to show at the gumlines. The gum recession also was uneven and aesthetically displeasing.
Heidi knew there was something new we could do, and we were able to restore her full mouth with porcelain-only restorations after doing some minor laser therapy to even up the gums and create natural looking gum/tooth interfaces. Heidi feels her smile is completely refreshed after her full mouth rehabilitation by Minneapolis dentist, Dr. Gorman.
Mark’s Story
Mark never felt confident about his worn yellow teeth and extra gaps. As a businessman with a busy schedule, he needed to be assured that we could give him the results he wanted in a timely fashion without his colleagues being truly aware of what transformation was taking place. With the use of custom fabricated provisional teeth, he was able to try on his new smile while his final restorations were being fabricated in our on-site laboratory.
Now people notice something different about Mark, but they just can’t seem to put their finger on it. Perhaps it is that he smiles more and now shows the confidence he has always had inside.
