Many people put off the dentist because of cost or embarrassment. Here, nobody grades your brushing. We would rather help you start from today than dwell on how you got here.
Cleanings that protect your gums
A cleaning clears away the plaque and tartar that build up where a toothbrush misses. We polish away surface stains and talk about what is working in your routine.
Twice a year is the usual rhythm, although some patients need visits closer together. If gum disease has begun, Dr. Pierpont treats it and walks you through the next steps.

Exams that look at the whole mouth
The comprehensive exam covers your teeth, gums, jaw joints, bite and soft tissues, and it includes an oral cancer screening. X-rays reveal what the eye cannot, such as decay between teeth.
You get a clear summary of what needs care now and what can wait, so you can plan around cost.

Fillings that look like teeth
Cavities are filled with composite resin chosen to match your enamel. The tooth is numbed, the decay is removed, and the filling is layered and cured with a light.
Because composite bonds to the tooth, we can often keep more of it intact.

About Boca Ciega
Boca Ciega shares its name with the bay that borders it. Boca Ciega Bay is an aquatic preserve, a status granted in 1968 to stop the dredging and filling that reshaped the shoreline in the 1950s.
The bay is known for mangrove islands and canals lined with seawalls. Pier Dental also treats patients from Madeira Beach, Gulfport, South Pasadena and St. Pete Beach.
