Last March we met with Dr. Brittany Pierpont after she purchased Dr. Asta Grinis’ office and renamed it Pier Dental, a reference to her last name and proximity to the beach. As we approached Pier Dental’s one-year anniversary, we returned to the office’s convenient location on Blind Pass Road across from St. John Vianney to see how the practice’s first year went. What we found is if you’re going to any other dental office, it’s because you haven’t yet visited Pier Dental and had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Pierpont and her team!
A quick internet search of Pier Dental found existing patients unanimously agreed with our assessment of the practice. “Dr. Pierpont has an amazing attention to detail and truly cares for her patients,” wrote Greg, a recent patient. Whereas today’s dental landscape trends toward corporate-style dentistry which prioritize profits over patient-focused care, another patient, Marty, noted the difference from corporate offices: “Pier Dental is the opposite of these multi-site practices. Dr. Pierpont is focused on quality of care.”
Dr. Pierpont represents a return to the values reminiscent of an era when dentists made patient well-being their foremost concern, rather than profit margins. Her dedication to delivering exceptional care mirrors the commitment seen in dentists of yesteryears, setting her apart in a world dominated by corporate dental chains. For example, Dr. Pierpont has noticed several patients anxious of their dental visit or embarrassed their dental hygiene has lapsed since the COVID pandemic. However, Dr. Pierpont has eased patient concerns with her genuine, quality care and allocating more time for each patient to ensure all patients receive the respect and attention they deserve. She believes in discussing available options to allow her patients to make informed choices for their treatment.
As we read multiple other five-star reviews mentioning patients traveling from as far as Gainesville to see Dr. Pierpont, we realized how fortunate we are to have such a skilled, experienced dentist rooted at our beaches for the foreseeable future. “Growing up here, I watched my father, a respected cardiologist, as he built trust and relationships with his patients,” explained Dr. Pierpont. “My goal is to provide the same genuine, quality care to my patients. With two young children and my entire family living here, I plan to practice in St. Pete Beach for many years to come.”
