Mary

"I had been on a discouraging quest to find a dentist who could help me improve my smile. I was also quite unhappy with the appearance of my teeth. There was a large gap between the two in the front. My teeth were also small and you could hardly see them when I smiled. One dentist tried to disguise the gap by bonding my two front teeth. This worked for a short period of time, but they soon became discolored. I visited a second dentist and he removed the bonding and tried to close the gap with braces. I wore the first set of braces for two years. When these did not do the job, a second set of braces were applied to my teeth and I wore them for three years. When the braces were removed, my teeth were noticeably discolored and I still had a gap between my two front teeth.

"I had received a newsletter from Dr. Gorman and decided to try his office for my next six-month cleaning. Once my teeth were cleaned, Dr. Gorman met with me and listened to my concerns that I had with my smile. He suggested I consider improving the appearance of my teeth with porcelain veneers. The porcelain restorations would whiten my teeth and closed the noticeable gap. I had seen this performed on the Extreme Makeover programs on TV, but had never considered this for myself. I shared this suggestion with my mother and she quickly offered to pay half as a combined Christmas and birthday gift. Her offer was all I needed to make my next appointment.

"Today, I am no longer embarrassed to smile. Unlike the past when I invented ways to smile without showing my teeth, I smile without thinking about it all the time. A renewed sense of self-confidence has changed my life. The gift of restoring my smile is one that has made a huge impact on all areas of my life including the health of my teeth. My quest to find the right dentist for me is finally over and has come to a close with a happy ending."

Deborah

"Prior to finding Dr. Gorman, I was unhappy with the appearance of my teeth for a very long time. The old metal crowns that had been placed on my front teeth were showing the silver of the metal when I smiled. They had been restored because the color of my front teeth had become gray.

"Initially, I visited with Dr. Gorman for a second opinion because two crowns that had been placed by a former dentist were aggravating my gum tissue. However, during this visit, I confided that I really hated the appearance of the old restorations on my front teeth. Dr. Gorman assured me that the appearance of these teeth could be improved with porcelain restorations that did not contain metal. He also shared that new porcelains had advanced, and that the newer restorations looked like natural teeth.

"After my appointment, I went home and decided that I would change the appearance of my smile and I am so happy that I did. My smile is now one that I feel proud of when I look in the mirror. My friends are always commenting about my beautiful smile. I would highly recommend to anyone who is unhappy with their appearance to restore it to a smile that you love. My only regret is that I did not meet Dr. Gorman years ago."

"Before I left my job in New York to move to Atlanta, I mentioned that I was going to move and a colleague of mine encouraged me to become a patient of Dr. Gorman's dental practice. I thought that a referral to an Atlanta dentist while still living in New York was a good sign, so I made an appointment right after I moved.

"Most of my upper arch dental restorations needed to be replaced. Dr. Gorman not only performed these procedures but also replaced all of the old silver amalgams during the same dental appointment. I had also broken an old crown on one of my front teeth and Dr. Gorman replaced this with a bridge that blends well with my natural teeth.

"For me, the time to take care of my personal business is extremely limited. Dr. Gorman's ability to restore my smile in one office visit has set the pace for my dental care. The care that I receive meets my high expectations. My dental visits pass quickly for me, yet they are never rushed or uncomfortable. Dr. Gorman's dentistry impressed my wife so much that she has also had her restorative dental work performed by him, as well as undergone procedures to replace her old silver amalgams. Moving to a new city can be a nightmare for some, but for me it was the beginning of a professional relationship that was respectful of the one thing I find most limited...time!"

Pam

"When I was younger, my two front teeth had fractured and bonding was placed over the enamel to strengthen my teeth. As the bonding wore, it would discolor and eventually chip. This often occurred at times when it was incredibly inconvenient and led to situations that made me feel embarrassed. I had also tried to whiten my teeth, but the bonding material did not whiten and this gave my teeth an uneven color.

"I finally got tired of replacing the bonding on these teeth and asked Dr. Gorman about using restorative material that was more predictable and was aesthetically pleasing. I had looked at pictures of restored smiles in Dr. Gorman's waiting room and wanted my smile to look like the ones that I had seen. When Dr. Gorman shared that porcelain restorations would improve the appearance of my teeth, I agreed that I would begin with four on my upper front teeth. Once these were placed, they looked really great. However, within six months I found that I wanted to restore the remaining upper teeth to the beauty of the first four. Dr. Gorman had originally suggested this and it was time to take his recommendation. He then restored the remaining six teeth with porcelain restorations and my smile became incredible!

"People are constantly telling me that I have a beautiful smile. My response is always, 'I have a great dentist!' I suppose that I could have chosen a dentist who was located closer to my home, but I am not convinced that I would have ended up with the smile that I love dearly today. A gentle dentist who restores your smile to one that is more beautiful that you had in the past is worth driving in traffic. Needless to say, I really love my new smile!"

Victoria

"Prior to becoming Dr. Gorman's patient, he and his wife were clients of mine. In a short period of time, I realized that Dr. Gorman also had an artistic and creative talent. I am a designer and have a very keen eye for detail, and it takes quite a lot to gain my confidence and then meet my expectations. You can only imagine how surprised I was when I decided that Dr. Gorman could change the one thing in my life that I had become increasingly more dissatisfied with...my smile.

"I had always been told that I had a great smile. However, as the years passed, I found that I did not like the size and shape of my teeth. My eyeteeth were too long. Three years of wearing braces left me with crooked teeth and a noticeably brown front tooth. Pictures began to document the fact that my tooth progressively gained a deepened hue of discolor and I began smiling much less.

I finally shared these concerns with Dr. Gorman and he encouraged me to restore my smile. A porcelain restoration changed the appearance of my brown tooth. He contoured my teeth to give them a more proportional look. He also gave me a mirror so that I could be involved with each change that he was making. I felt that I was very much a part of recreating my new smile.

"I have found that I am no longer hiding my smile. I like its appearance in pictures. People are constantly commenting that I have a great smile, and this makes me believe that I now have a comparable smile to the one that I was proud of in the past. The one thing that I come to realize is that your smile is a very important part of your life. Dr. Gorman's attention to detail gave him the ability to restore my smile to one that is proportionate and uniformly white. This passed my design expectations and this had given me a reason to smile!"

"I have been a dental patient of Dr. Gorman since 1988. During this time, I was the vice president of AT&T and smiling was very important. I liked my smile but I wanted to improve it. I looked at the before-and-after pictures of porcelain veneer patients and really liked the beauty of their natural appearance. The pictures gave me the incentive to restore my smile. Four porcelain veneers improved the size and shape of my front teeth. Dr. Gorman then brightened the appearance of my smile by removing my old silver amalgams and replacing them with white porcelain restorations. I really love my new smile and receive compliments on it all the time!"

"Just before a very important business trip to England, I chipped my front tooth. Dr. Gorman immediately made a special appointment to see me on the weekend and repair the tooth that I had chipped. I left for England the very next day and signed a $2.5 billion dollar contract for Lockheed Aeronautical Systems. This led to several press conferences and two TV interviews. My smile looked beautiful in the newspapers and television.

"Since then, Dr. Gorman has kept my smile and back teeth beautiful. He has also restored my wife's smile to one that she loves. She receives compliments on her smile all the time. I feel very lucky to have a dentist who cares about us and who we can trust."
