If you’ve delayed going to see the dentist during the pandemic, it’s time to get back on track. Going to the dentist doesn’t have to be like pulling teeth with the compassionate team at Pinnacle Dentistry. 

Dr. Thomas Jennings and Dr. Brad Perrett are both extremely personable, attentive and dedicated to excellence without resting on their past accomplishments and certifications. Their team constantly works on bettering themselves and their service. Their passion is to provide advanced care that takes into consideration a patient’s total well-being. They strive to offer customized, comfortable and long-lasting solutions to eliminate unnecessary treatment and help their patients look amazing.

BREAKING THE RETREATMENT CYCLE

Their main office at 2430 Research Parkway, suite 200, seems more like a friend’s living room. From the warm and inviting environment to the friendly staff, Pinnacle’s patients immediately feel at ease. 

“We meet with a new patient at the first visit and listen carefully to their concerns. This helps us meet their needs in a customized way. Our reward is not just creating beautiful smiles, but getting to know our patients and their families. That’s the reason we do what we do!” Jennings said.

In previous decades, losing teeth was the norm. Better hygiene and fluoridation today means patients retain more teeth to preserve for a longer life span. 

“One thing we often see is cycles of retreatment. Our ultimate goal is to interrupt that cycle by doing restorations that last 3-4 times as long and help protect teeth for the future,” added Jennings. “If we fix the problem up front, it will give us the best results with the least long-term expense.” 

Dental health becomes challenging as people live longer, so it’s vital to schedule bi-annual check ups and cleanings. Gums recede, exposing roots to decay, and bone loss makes teeth less stable. 

Seniors may produce less saliva, often due to medications that produce dry mouth. This leaves teeth vulnerable to decay. Decades-old fillings and bridgework can also crack. 

Over time, there’s an increased need for dental implants, crowns, dentures, gum surgery and oral cancer treatment. As the mouth naturally changes dentures can loosen, making chewing more difficult and irritating gums.

PREVENTION IS KEY

Jennings and Perrett create a positive experience by taking a preventive, conservative and cost-effective approach to dental care, to help patients struggling with those challenges. 

As a result, Pinnacle patients are convinced they’ve chosen wisely for their dental wellness.  

“The staff here is always gracious, and the skilled assistants and doctors are awesome. You will not find a better place to take care of your dental health in Colorado Springs,” said one patient.  

The word “pinnacle” means “the most successful point, the culmination.” How reassuring that there is a dental office in Colorado Springs that lives up to its name.
