Robert Oral Torgerson Surgeon

Dental Examination
Oral cancer screening forms an integral part of general dental examinations – something that is enabling cases to be detected and treated earlier on. If you attend a regular dental exam and we have any concerns, we may recommend that you undergo diagnostic testing, which could include taking a biopsy of an area of your mouth. Some patients are at a higher risk of developing oral cancer, including those who...
X-rays
With the i-CAT 3-D imaging system, Drs. Gama and Morris can capture precise images and panoramic x-rays. This advanced machine exposes patients to significantly less radiation exposure than traditional x-ray equipment while obtaining more detailed images. These scans allow us to provide the most precise diagnoses and treatment planning. We are also able to optimize your treatment process because a single scan provides highly detailed, 3-D views of both the soft and hard tissues, including the craniofacial structures.
Oral Cancer Screening
Drs. Gama and Morris were recently published in the April issue of Missoula Valley Lifestyle Magazine to help draw attention to the need for oral cancer screenings.

Crowns
A porcelain crown. The visible part of the restoration is a porcelain crown that is designed with the specifications to fit in perfectly with the patient’s natural teeth. This means the right shape, size, and even shade of white, often making the implant difficult to identify from natural teeth when the process is completed.. The crown restores the chewing function and appearance of the missing tooth, making the patient’s smile both functional and attractive.
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment

Dentures
Most people think that dental implants are only used to replace single missing teeth. While this is certainly one of their most popular applications, dental implants can be used to support bridges to replace multiple teeth, or to support partial dentures, and even to support full dentures. The number of implant posts needed will vary, depending on the type of restoration that the patient is having. We’d be happy to give you more specific information about these options at your consultation appointment.

Dental Implants
Missing teeth is a common phenomenon, with studies estimating that the majority of U.S. adults lose at least one natural tooth by the time they are 40 years old. Not surprisingly losing teeth can have an impact on the way you use your mouth and how you feel about the appearance of your smile. Fortunately, there are various options available to replace teeth. In most cases, when it is desired to replace teeth, dental implants are the ideal choice. We are delighted to be able to offer patients the option of dental implant tooth replacement here at our Missoula office.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Depending on the severity of the injuries you have sustained, initially, most patients who experience facial trauma will be seen by a doctor. However, once they are satisfied that your condition is stable and that you aren’t at risk of any significant complications, you may then be recommended to speak to oral surgery specialists to plan the next stages of your care.
Jaw Surgery
We offer several types of jaw surgery to correct injuries, as well as congenital defects. Lower jaw surgery can address a severe underbite. We may use screws to realign your mandible, or we can reposition your broken or damaged jaw with a splint or wires. With a frenectomy, we will remove excess skin between your upper lip and gums; this extra tissue can cause speech impediments and dental misalignment. Learn more
Maxillofacial Surgery
That following year he entered the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and completed his residency in 1998. Upon graduation, he moved to beautiful Missoula, Montana where he joined the practice of Robert Torgerson and Mark Nedrud, at Oral Surgical Associates.
Tooth Extractions
As dentists, we are committed to helping you preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible. As such, removing a tooth is always the last resort. Nevertheless, there are times when tooth extraction is the best course of action. Here’s what you need to know about the reasons why we might recommend extraction and what you can expect to happen.
Bone Grafting
During a bone grafting procedure, your surgeon will administer anesthesia to ensure your absolute comfort throughout treatment. Next, he will create an incision in the gums. With the jaw bone exposed, he will transplant donor tissue to the weakened area and secure it in place with small screws. Finally, the gums are sutured closed to facilitate healing. Patients will be prescribed antibiotics to ensure healthy recovery. Over the course of three to nine months, the transplanted tissue will become fused to the existing jaw bone tissue. In some cases, we can expedite healing with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, a process of administering concentrated growth factors harvested from a sample of the patient's own blood.

Orthodontics

General Dentistry
He was born and raised in Wyoming. He attended the University of Wyoming and graduated in 1982 with his Bachelor of Science degree in Physiology. That same year he was accepted to the University of Creighton’s School of Dentistry graduating in 1986 with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS). Upon graduating he practiced General Dentistry for seven years in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
