At The Pankey Institute, dental professionals are exposed to a Philosophy of Dentistry, which was first taught by Dr. L.D. Pankey.

Dr. Pankey was recognized as one of the world’s best dental educators, and was active from the 1930s to the 1980s.

Dr. Pankey’s timeless Philosophy emphasizes relationships, individualized care, values, active listening and more. Optimal care is the foundation that creates long-lasting comfort, function and naturally beautiful teeth.

Optimal care can even be achieved through phased treatment over a period of years. Your Pankey-trained dentist will discuss treatment options and counsel you on making appropriate choices.

Pankey-trained dentists are taught how to treat their patients as individuals, how to do complete examinations, how to take enough time to listen and answer questions fully, and how to create a practice that reflects their own personal values.

It’s no wonder many of our students report they’re happier than ever in their careers and their patients are full of gratitude for work done well.
