Your North Oaks, MN Dentist Providing gorgeous and exceptional dentistry for all of Minnesota.
What We Love about North Oaks, MN
Spanning 5,484 acres, North Oaks is a private family neighborhood known for its winding roads, cul-de-sacs, and tree-lined streets. Rolling wooded hills, open fields, and wetlands make up most of the land in northern Ramsey County with easy access to Minneapolis and St. Paul.
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.

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.

Testimonials
Truly a fantastic experience all around. They are a center of FINE dentistry. Dr. Lippe is tops. When my primary dentist offered to shave down a tooth because of a chip, I saw Dr. Lippe because my wife said I have to go here because they do such great work. I'm so glad I did. Dr. Lippe took a close look at the tooth, how much space was available and offered to fix the chip rather than shave the tooth. Thank you Dr. Lippe and Robert for all you do!
