If you live in Memphis Heights and are tired of rushed appointments, Pier Dental offers another way. Dr. Brittany Pierpont is a general dentist who works in a family-owned office at 8351 Blind Pass Rd, St. Pete Beach. She sees teens and adults and treats most patients herself.
The straight-line distance is about 19 miles, and the road is longer. Patients tell us the calm, no-lecture approach is why they make the drive.
A comprehensive first exam
We check teeth, gums, bite and jaw joints, and screen for oral cancer. Digital X-rays show cavities between teeth and bone loss under the gums.
Afterwards we sit down and review it all with you. The goal is a plan you understand, in order of urgency.

Gum health and regular cleanings
Cleanings clear away plaque and tartar that your toothbrush misses. Healthy gums are the base of a healthy mouth, and bleeding gums are worth mentioning.
If you have not been in years, tell us. We will go gently and never scold.

Strengthening weak teeth
Large old fillings and cracks make teeth fragile. Onlays and crowns restore their strength, and we explain which is the better value for each tooth.
Dr. Pierpont does the work herself, including root canals, so you are not passed around.

About Memphis Heights
The Memphis area is bordered by Palmetto to the south and west and by Terra Ceia Bay, an arm of Tampa Bay, to the northwest.
From there, our office is across the water in Pinellas County. We try to schedule exams, X-rays and cleanings together when we can, to cut down your trips.
Call Pier Dental at (727) 363-6169 to book a first visit. We are open Monday 9 to 3, Tuesday 9 to 5, Wednesday 9 to 4 and Thursday 9 to 5, and Friday by appointment. CareCredit and our in-house plan are easy to explain by phone.
