Advanced Training – The Pankey Institute


The Pankey Institute provides advanced dental training with a unique approach that teaches dentists the importance of putting patients first, and how to accomplish this important goal.

Happiness and patient satisfaction

We all know that happiness and satisfaction go hand in hand, but in the professional world both of these values are often overlooked. The Pankey Institute emphasizes patient satisfaction, and teaches its students to strive for meeting the patient’s goals rather than simply performing procedures that feed their own ego.

In supporting this approach to dentistry, the Pankey Institute also encourages students to pursue a healthy work/life balance and personal happiness. This benefits the patient because a dentist who derives satisfaction from life has the clear mind and positive outlook that allows him to focus on your desires rather than seeking fulfillment through controlling the dental process.

Dentists who listen

Pankey dentists are taught to listen to their patients and treat each patient as an individual, allowing ample time for every visit and truly answering all of your questions. Your goals come first.

Too many dentists rush through office visits leaving their patients confused and even anxious. While skill and experience are necessary for optimal dental care, they cannot replace the value lost when your goals are unheard and unmet.

Optimal care

The Pankey Institute teaches their dentists that optimal care means dental work that is healthy, long-lasting, and naturally beautiful. The results should be comfortable and should never look like “cosmetic dentistry”, but simply like beautiful teeth.

Thorough examinations and treatment delivered with a caring attitude give you optimal dental care.
