AGD Fellow & Master
Credentials earned by fewer than 2% of dentists nationwide — and continuing education every year.
A full-service dental practice — all under one calm roof.
At Pettinato Dental Care, we perform every aspect of complete dental care — from checkups, cleanings, x-rays, and exams to implants, crowns, bridges, whitening, dentures, and more. You won't be shuttled between specialists for routine care, and we'll only refer out when it genuinely benefits your result.
That comprehensive approach is what lets us tailor care to each patient. Whether you're here for a six-month cleaning or rebuilding a smile, you'll work with the same trusted team from start to finish.
An informed patient makes the best decisions.
We believe great dentistry starts with a real conversation. Before any treatment, we'll show you exactly what we see using intraoral photos and digital x-rays, walk you through your options in plain language, and answer every question — no rushing, no jargon, no pressure.
Our team is committed to ongoing continuing education so you benefit from the latest, gentlest techniques. And we'll happily share at-home tips on brushing, flossing, nutrition, and habits that protect the work you've invested in.
A thorough, no-pressure first visit.
Your comprehensive evaluation includes a full review of your medical and dental history, a thorough exam of your teeth and gums, an oral cancer screening, any needed x-rays, and a frank discussion of what we find. If treatment is needed, we'll outline options and help you choose what fits your goals and budget.
Most importantly: we listen first. Many patients tell us this is the first dental visit in which they actually felt heard. That's by design — and it's how we build relationships that often span generations.
