Dr. Matthew Bunchman has a reputation as a dentist who takes the time to listen to his patients concerns, help them articulate their goals, and draft a plan that will meet their every expectation.

As a person dedicated to his craft, Dr. Bunchman is continually perfecting his dentistry craft and enhancing outcomes. He is passionate about his work and has an attention to detail that allows exciting results.

Dr. Bunchman was born and raised in a small town in central Illinois. He attended Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois where he graduated with Biology and Pre-Medicine Majors and Chemistry and Biochemistry Minors. Upon graduation from his undergraduate studies, he went on to pursue his dental education at the very well respected Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. After graduating from dental school, the faculty of the Department of Restorative Dentistry awarded Dr. Bunchman with the Fixed Prosthodontic Award, given to the student with the best skills with implants, veneers, crowns, and bridges.

Dr. Bunchman has done extensive training in TMJ diagnosis and treatment, including completing the prestigious ciriculum at The Dawson Academy (find his profile indicating his advanced Scholar status atwww.findadawsondentist.com) and a Bioesthetics continuum (more can be learned atwww.bioesthetics.com). Dr. Bunchan treats TMJ patients referred from local physicians, chiropractors, general dentists, and dental specialists.

Dr. Bunchman believes in staying current with dental technology and education. Dr. Bunchman routinely doubles or triples the minimum number of hours required to keep his dental license each year. The following are recent continuing education classes in which he has participated:

Dr. Livesay was born and raised in Virginia. He is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University/Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry in Richmond, Virginia. Following his graduation, he was recruited to be a dental officer in the U.S. Navy, where he served on active duty for three years. One of those years involved deployment to the Mediterranean Sea while serving aboard the USS Shenandoah.

During that time, he and his family vacationed in Colorado many times, hiking, camping, and biking. His entire family loves the outdoors and grew to love Colorado from their many adventures out here. Several years ago, his two adult children moved to Denver. This spurred Dr. Livesay to sell his practice in Virginia and, along with his wife Karen, make the move to Colorado in 2018. They currently live in Evergreen and are enjoying mountain living very much.

When not seeing his patients, Dr. Livesay can be found mountain biking, hiking, and/or camping in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. He also has an interest in old Land Cruisers and is a member of the Toyota Land Cruiser Association.

Dr. Livesay enjoys practicing dentistry in an environment in which he can get to know his patients and offer them a high level of care. Dr. Bunchman and Premier Dental of Evergreen provide just such an environment. The size of the practice allows the doctors and staff to foster a true feeling of a family dental practice, in which the patients feel they are an important part.

Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

We feel that addressing the CAUSE and not just the AFFECT of dental disease helps reduce the time and money a patient needs to use on dental care in the long term. Co-developing a long-term plan is key in this journey. This process takes time to fully materialize.

Disease Management A minimal amount of preventative care is undertaken but WHY disease has occurred is never addressed. Often dental insurance is maximized year after year but it also becomes a limiting factor in co-developing a long-range plan. For truly healthy patients, this may be the best level of care. However, we must remind ourselves that lack of cavities does not always mean we are truly healthy.

We promise to do our best to understand where you are, where you want to be and how we can help accomplish those goals. We pledge to do this by combining the latest in technology and traditional values. With these tools, we will develop a partnership and use your goals as a target and our expertise for the best path to get there.
