Pier Dental is a short drive from Sunset Beach at 8351 Blind Pass Rd. Dr. Brittany Pierpont is a general dentist who treats teens and adults, and we are a family-owned office rather than a chain. Your visit is with the same dentist who plans your care.
If it has been a long time since you sat in a dental chair, you are welcome here. We will not scold you. We look, explain what we find in plain language, and let you choose the pace.
A thorough first exam with X-rays
On your first visit Dr. Pierpont checks teeth, gums, bite and the soft tissues of your mouth, and the exam includes an oral cancer screening. Digital X-rays are ready right away, so she can show you anything she sees.
Once the exam is done you will know what is fine, what should be watched and what needs treatment. Many patients return for a comprehensive exam about once a year.

Regular cleanings between exams
A professional cleaning removes the plaque and tartar that a toothbrush cannot. Polishing lifts surface stains too, and fluoride may be added when it makes sense for you.
Most people come in about every six months. If your gums need extra attention, we will say so and show you how to care for them at home.

White fillings when a cavity shows up
A cavity is repaired with composite resin that is matched to your tooth color. After the area is numbed, the decay comes out and the filling is built up and shaped for a comfortable bite.
The result blends in, and it asks less of your healthy tooth than a metal restoration would.
