A SPECIALTY DEDICATED TO PRESERVING THE FOUNDATION OF A HEALTHY SMILE
What Sets Us Apart
At Pylant Periodontics, we do not treat numbers or treat teeth here - we take care of people. Every person and situation is unique and requires a personalized and individualized approach. This extends to everyone, and we firmly believe that every patient experiences the difference when choosing Pylant Periodontics.
A NOTE FROM DR. DERRICK PYLANT
"LD Pankey, a like-minded, patient-first dentist often said, 'I've never seen a tooth walk into my office. It was always connected to a person'. This statement always resonated with me, and until the day I see teeth start walking in on their own, I will always operate a practice that puts people and their needs first.
If you have taken the time to read about what we believe, our values, our philosophy of care and what we do here - I sincerely thank you. I hope that what we do in this practice can be a light that shines and inspires hope for others here - not just here locally, but within dentistry itself."
Honesty and Transparency
Every person deserves to know the truth. Honesty and transparency regarding your assessments and your dental health are absolutes. You can expect honesty and transparency regarding all aspects of your dental care - from assessment, treatment recommendations, alternatives, and longevity in a kind and considerate manner.
Respect and Intentionality
Every person deserves respect, dignity, and to be treated with integrity in a genuine and caring way. We aim to meet everyone where they are at and to treat everyone in a kind, professional, and respectful manner at all times - just as we would like for others to treat us. We strive to inspire confidence in everyone who steps into our office by being understood, seen, and respected by our entire team.
Knowledge and Personal Education
Knowledge and education is powerful. We strive to assist everyone to become as well-informed as possible about your current dental status from the start. This allows you to make thoughtful and the most appropriate decisions regarding your own oral health and help prepare for the future. We strive to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to help you maintain and care for your teeth for a lifetime.
Conservative and Minimally Invasive Treatment
Teeth are truly irreplaceable. Dental materials and dental implants attempt, but cannot match the natural beauty, form and function of a tooth. We aim to assist you in establishing health with appropriate preventative measures and ideally through minimally invasive treatment methods. When the foundation is healthy and dental function is stable, teeth can last for a lifetime. We want to help you preserve your natural teeth and establish a healthy foundation. You can expect to receive evidence based and detailed preventative, periodontal, and surgical dental care from our office.
Comprehensive and Interdisciplinary Care
We are committed to practicing with your best interest in mind. To that end, we practice comprehensively, meaning we will always inform you about any potential dental issues or infections that you may or may not know about as you deserve to know. We firmly believe the highest level of care can only be achieved through an interdisciplinary approach by incorporating the valuable skills and knowledge of your restorative dentist or other dental specialists as needed.
We serve people. No matter your dental health status or what you may be facing, rest assured our goal is to meet you where you are at and try our very best to help you achieve dental health and your goals.
