Pankey Trained Dentist

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.

Optimal care is the goal of Pankey-trained dentists, and this creates long-lasting comfort, function and naturally beautiful teeth. Your Pankey-trained dentist will discuss treatment options and counsel you on making appropriate choices.

Optimal Care is the Dentistry of the Future, right now!

Our continuing dental education is based on the standard of optimal oral health care. What is optimal care?

• It's personalized to your needs.
• It's a caring attitude.
• It's taking the time to discover how well your entire oral system is functioning.
• It's about complete examinations and treatment.
• It's about asking questions to understand you and your oral health.
• It's about eliminating discomfort you may be experiencing - physically and emotionally.

Optimal care means bringing you to a level of health, comfort and beauty you may never have experienced before.

The goal is a lifetime of health, comfort, and beauty with the least possible treatment necessary.

WHAT PANKEY PATIENTS ARE SAYING

David Van Winkle of Texas says:

"My dentist of the past 22 years has been Dr. Bill Gray of Sherman, Texas. When I first went to see him in 1985, I completed a questionnaire ....have you had any bad dental experiences? My answer was ALL.

Dr. Gray has been an awesome dentist, making major improvements to the health of my teeth and mouth. I always thought that he was much better than the average dentist. Today, I learned that his is a level 5 Pankey dentist and what that means. So, now I understand why he is such a great dentist, in addition to his own passion for the profession.

Unfortunately, I am moving away from this area and will not be using Dr. Gray in the future. However, he provided me with a list of Pankey qualified dentists that I can use in the future in my new location. I feel much better about selecting a new dentist now that I know that others have been trained like him.

Thank you for your program. "
