Cortez is a Gulf Coast fishing village in Manatee County, and Pier Dental sits roughly 20 miles north in St. Pete Beach, measured in a straight line. We hope the care is worth the trip.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont is a general dentist, and the practice is family-owned. Skipped checkups and ignored aches are no cause for embarrassment with us. We start where you are.
Root canals and the tooth that will not quit hurting
A tooth that throbs, reacts to heat or swells may have an infected nerve. A root canal clears that out and lets you keep the tooth. Dr. Pierpont does them in our office.
Do not wait for the pain to stop by itself. When it fades, the infection may simply be moving on.

Exams with X-rays you can see
The first visit centers on a comprehensive exam of teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints and soft tissue, including an oral cancer screening. Digital X-rays appear right away on a screen.
We show you what we see, then split findings into urgent and can-wait. You decide what happens next.

Cleanings that keep gums calm
Professional cleaning removes the buildup that home care misses. That protects against cavities and helps keep your gums firm and pink.
If tenderness or bleeding has started, we look closer. Early gum disease can be treated, and we share home habits that help.
