Our Advanced Training

The Pankey Institute, a non-profit education center for dentists, provides advanced training to teach dentists professional excellence while being extremely sensitive to each patient’s unique circumstances, objectives, and temperament.  This continuing education program is based on lifelong learning for the dentist.  The Pankey Institute is a world renowned center and was founded in 1969.

Individualized Care

Each patient is an individual with needs, conditions, and desires.  This unique person is a partner, helping the dentist and team understand his or her situation.   Pankey dentists are taught to LISTEN to their patients and build trust by allowing ample time for answering questions and understanding patient’s goals.

Informed Treatment

Each patient should be informed about the best oral health and esthetics available to them and about treatment options that are predictable.  Optimal dental work means dental work that is healthy, comfortable, beautiful, and long lasting.

Appropriate Partnership

Each patient should be helped and supported in making appropriate decisions for themselves.  Each patient is a partner in understanding their own dental situation and in the planning of their dentistry.

Advanced Knowledge and Training

Dr. Buzz Raymond can treat even the most complex of dental conditions with confidence and competence.  A complete and thorough examination delivered with a caring attitude leads to trust and excellent dental care.  Dr. Raymond will discuss treatment options, answer your questions fully, and advise you on making appropriate choices.  The dental practice of a Pankey trained dentist will reflect the highest professionalism and ethics.

The goals of Dr. Raymond are to educate you about any dental problems you might have, help you maintain excellent oral health, and then help you achieve improved health, natural beauty, and a well-fitting bite.  Dr. Buzz Raymond, though not a specialist, has advanced training and 30+ years of experience in treating patients with more complex conditions.  He gladly will offer his knowledge, experience and compassion to those who find themselves in that compromised situation.
