Dr. Tor Gotun
We are proud to announce that Dr.Gotun has been awarded the highest honour a dentist in the Academy of General Dentistry can achieve – a Mastership. Currently only 1% of the dentists in the world hold that title. Only dentists with extraordinary dedication to continuing education and constant improvement of their skill and knowledge get this level of recognition.
To make it simpler to understand the implications of this title – it is like earning an Oscar or an Olympic gold medal. The ratio is pretty similar. In 50 years of the existence of the Academy of General Dentistry, only 2500 of these awards have ever been given out. Austin has a reason to be proud of its dental community, as there are seven Masters of the Academy of General Dentistry in town. The dentists that have achieved that designation are believed to have reached the pinnacle in the dental knowledge and skill. The only logical next step for Dr.Gotun is spending more time on teaching other dentists in the country and… more continuing education! As we are sure you know – he will never stop learning!
Even though Dr. Gotun may not be a movie star, we are still very proud! More than ever can we say that we do deliver the best in dental care!
Congratulations, Dr.Gotun!

Dr. Gotun’s pursuit of excellence in dentistry is largely a result of his efforts to help people. It is the unique conditions of his patients that are the inspiration for constant self-improvement that lead to the invention of solutions that do not exist in the broader dental world. Some of these solutions are so outside of the textbook that Dr. Gotun now has a lot of new knowledge to share with new generations of dental professionals. Many cases have been solved against all mainstream dental beliefs due to the patients’ willingness to try new techniques and their persistence through the stages of dental treatment.
During this remarkable journey to suceed in seemingly most hopeless of the situations, rarely tried by most, much less achieved, Dr.Gotun felt rewarded over and over again. How? By resolving the hardest of dental puzzles and creating healthy, beautiful smiles on the faces of patients who hadn’t believed they could have them. You, our valued and loyal patients, are the reason why Dr.Gotun is where he is right now.
I’ve been reading a few posts and really and enjoy your writing. I’m just starting up my own blog and only hope that I can write as well and give the reader so much insight.
nice and very informative information
Hi there, This is my first visit to your blog and looking on, I’m impressed! Great contents! It’s good to know that there are dental professionals who are good with communicating with people as well as their patients thru blogs like this. I commend them! It is very important that dentists are able to give patients as well as the readers a clear idea and explanation of what they need to know regarding their dental problem and treatments. – Shane
