Smiling Faces without Braces

About the Doctor

Bradley E. Goings, DDS

Welcome to my website! Thank you for taking the time to learn about my orthodontic office in Fort Collins, CO. I hope what you read is helpful and interesting.

I am a board certified orthodontist in Fort Collins, CO who specializes in providing orthodontic treatment for all ages.   I opened Goings Orthodontics in June 2007 with my wife, Kathryn. Together we have built our practice from the ground up into what it is today. I wanted to create a place where people feel comfortable, welcome, and receive excellent patient care. I also wanted to ensure that I have the latest technology and advancements to serve my patients.

I grew up on a farm and ranch in western Nebraska, and spent many summers visiting the northern Colorado area.   After graduating from Chadron State College in northwestern Nebraska, I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree with high distinction from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1999.

I then served in the U.S. Air Force as a general dentist for five years and was stationed in England, just outside of Oxford. I was one of two dentists for the military members and their families and provided a variety of services (cleanings, extractions, root canals, wisdom teeth surgeries, etc). While there I developed and directed the children's dental education program, as well.

Prior to becoming a dentist, I was very interested in becoming an orthodontist. I had orthodontics when I was younger. Unfortunately, my parents did not get me to an orthodontist early enough. I went when I was 12 or 13 and had 2 impacted canines (means the teeth are stuck in the bone) and had to have a surgery to get them to come in the mouth correctly. I also had to have an expander and full braces. When I was 18, I had jaw surgery to correct my underbite. I have been through the whole range of treatment with orthodontics. When everything was finished, my face, jaw, and smile were completely transformed. I felt amazing. I wanted to have the ability to make others feel howI felt. That is when I began looking into what I could do to become an orthodontist.

I graduated from the University of Colorado orthodontic program in 2006. I always knew I would move to Northern Colorado and decided to build my practice here.    Together, Kathryn and I have created a place that we feel is our second home. We want our patients to feel comfortable and welcome they come through our doors and while they are in treatment.

Kathryn and I enjoy working together but when we have spare time we like to hike with our dogs - Daisy and Brackley, travel, cook, watch movies and especially love watching college football. I am a big fan of the Cornhuskers and try to attend a few games a year. We recently had twins Brittyn and Lincoln which keeps us very busy.

I am constantly learning new things about teeth, orthodontics, and how I can better care for my patients. I regularly attend Continuing Education courses on orthodontics, the Damon System, and TMJ disorders.
