Meet Dr Gorman

MICHAEL GORMAN D.M.D, FADIA, FICOI

Dr. Michael Gorman, DMD, earned his dental degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry after attending the University of Florida, where he received his Bachelor of Health Science degree in rehabilitation counseling. Dr. Gorman obtained his certification in IV Conscious Sedation from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and received extensive training in a dental bone grafting and surgical implant placement and restoration course in Miami, Florida, from one of the foremost dental implant experts in the nation.

A native of Tallahassee, Florida, Dr. Gorman enlisted in the U.S. Navy immediately after graduating high school and is a Desert Storm veteran who served for four years. His cumulative dental knowledge, including general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry, as well as IV and oral sedation, provides Dr. Gorman the ability to complete a full-mouth restoration in a single visit by sedating patients comfortably, providing them the opportunity to walk into the office with no fear or anxiety and leave with a new smile without having any recollection of the procedure.

Dr. Gorman’s Philosophy of Care

Dr. Michael Gorman built Sedation Dental Spa around a single belief: no patient should avoid dental care because of fear or anxiety. After years of seeing patients suffer through painful, stressful dental visits — or worse, avoid the dentist entirely — Dr. Gorman invested in advanced training in IV sedation dentistry to change that experience completely.

At Sedation Dental Spa, patients routinely tell us they felt nothing during their procedure and remember very little afterward. That is by design. Dr. Gorman combines precision dental technique with carefully monitored sedation to deliver the safest, most comfortable experience in South Florida.

Advanced Training in IV Sedation Dentistry

IV sedation is not offered by most general dentists — it requires specialized training, certification, and ongoing continuing education. Dr. Gorman holds the Fellow of the Academy of Dental Implant Aesthetics (FADIA) and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI) designations, both of which reflect his commitment to staying at the forefront of implant dentistry and sedation techniques.

He completed his dental degree at the University of Florida College of Dentistry — one of the top-ranked dental programs in the country — and his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, where he earned a Bachelor of Health Science degree in Rehabilitation Science.

Following graduation, Dr. Gorman served as a dentist in the United States Navy, where he treated patients in high-stakes environments that demanded both clinical precision and the ability to make patients comfortable under pressure. That experience shaped his patient-first approach and his belief that dental care should never feel like a battle.

Specialties: Implants, Cosmetic Dentistry, and Full-Mouth Restoration

Dr. Gorman specializes in cases that other dentists refer out. Whether you need a single dental implant, a complete smile makeover with porcelain veneers, Invisalign clear aligners, or a full-arch restoration, Dr. Gorman has the training and technology to handle it — often in fewer appointments than you would expect.

His practice at Sedation Dental Spa in Miramar and Lighthouse Point, FL, is equipped with state-of-the-art digital imaging, cone beam CT scanning, and a fully monitored IV sedation suite. Patients drive from across Broward County — Pembroke Pines, Hallandale Beach, Weston, Deerfield Beach, and Pompano Beach — because they cannot find this combination of expertise and comfort anywhere closer to home.

What to Expect as Dr. Gorman’s Patient

Your first visit to Sedation Dental Spa begins with a comprehensive examination and a conversation, not a sales pitch. Dr. Gorman takes time to listen to your dental history, understand your anxieties, and explain every option available to you. There is no pressure and no judgment — whether you have not seen a dentist in two years or twenty.

If you choose IV sedation, you will need a driver to bring you home, but the experience itself is simple: you arrive, a small IV is placed, and the next thing most patients remember is waking up with their treatment completed. No drill sounds. No gagging. No discomfort. Just results.

Dr. Gorman personally oversees every aspect of your care — from treatment planning to procedure to follow-up. He does not delegate to associates. When you choose Sedation Dental Spa, you are choosing Dr. Gorman.
