We practice the Pankey Philosophy of Dentistry. We respect the unique value of each person. The Pankey Institute and local study clubs challenge dental professionals to know their work, keep abreast of emerging technology and knowledge, and then master these to the absolute best of their ability. We are also challenged to know ourselves and each patient so we may more effectively apply our knowledge.

The Pankey Philosophy advocates helping the patient to the best care possible and educating the patient to make appropriate choices to achieve comprehensive treatment of the dental condition versus “fixing” teeth one tooth at a time. Practicing The Pankey Philosophy, we spend time with each individual patient to:

• fully evaluate oral health, patient concerns, and related circumstances
  
• explain options and answer questions
  
• educate and encourage the patient to overcome obstacles to comprehensive treatment

The Pankey Philosophy naturally fosters a supportive community of doctors helping one another achieve their goals.
