Choosing a dentist in Palmetto usually means staying close to home. We would be honest with you: Pier Dental is at 8351 Blind Pass Rd in St. Pete Beach, about 19 miles away in a straight line. The actual road is longer.
Some people still make that trip, and we understand why. They want a general dentist who listens first, shows them what the exam found, and never lectures about the years since their last visit.
A first visit that starts with listening

Your first appointment begins with a conversation, then a thorough exam and X-rays. Dr. Brittany Pierpont uses a TRIOS 3D scanner when a digital picture helps, so there are no goopy trays.
Before any treatment, you hear what we found and what can wait. Nothing gets scheduled until the plan makes sense to you.

Cleanings that fit a busy schedule

Regular cleanings keep small problems small. If you plan the trip across Manatee County, we can often pair a cleaning and an exam in one visit.
Gum tenderness or bleeding gets a closer look. Catching it early is far easier than treating it later.

Fillings that match your teeth

A cavity does not heal on its own. Tooth-colored fillings replace decay without the dark metal look of older work.
We try to protect as much natural tooth as possible, and we explain the choices before we begin.

About Palmetto
Palmetto sits on the north side of the Manatee River, directly across from Bradenton. A post office has operated there since 1868, and the city took its name from the palmetto trees near the original townsite.
We are a family-owned office, not a chain. If cost is the worry, ask about CareCredit or our in-house savings plan at $499 a year. Regular hours are Monday 9 to 3, Tuesday 9 to 5, Wednesday 9 to 4, Thursday 9 to 5, and Friday by appointment.
Call (727) 363-6169 to ask about a first visit. Tell us where you are coming from and we will plan your day around the drive.
