Philosophy of Care If we were to describe our practice in one word, that word would be balanced. We focus on complete oral health, not quick fixes. After all, the health of the mouth affects the health of the entire body. Each patient is treated as familywhich means we will welcome you and make you feel at home. Our goal is to offer the best quality care possible, keep you comfortable during your procedures, and make sure that your results will last for a long time.While some practices may embrace every new technology out there,we make sure that the technology we invest in isnt just flashy andquick. Its not enough to say, Its new. After all, there are manymaterials newly available to modern dentistry, and they may be faster and easier to use, but they arent necessarily stronger. Thats why we carefully assess each patients unique situation. Inthe case of bonding procedures, we use techniques such as micro airabrasion, which require more time and skill. But those patients aregoing to get long-lasting and durable results.On the other hand, we have been a leader in our use of laser technology.This kind of technology tends to be a rarity at dental practices. However,Gulf Coast Dental has invested in these devices and equipment andtraining because of its superior outcomes. For example, lasers make itpossible to treat periodontal disease by not opening up the gums anddoing invasive treatments. The benefits to our patients are invaluable.

All patients are welcomed into our family here. They get the kind of treatment that we would give to members of our own families. Our patients include both adults and childrenpeople of all ages and from walks of life. Since this a military community; some of our patients remain in the area, and others eventually move on to other places. We are in a very convenient location in Niceville, which means that we get to know many of our neighbors in Bluewater, Destin, Sandestin, Santa Rosa, Rosemary, Miramar Beach, Fort Walton, Crestview,Freeport, and DeFuniak Springs. For some of our patients in Destin,we are easy to access, but there is a toll bridge. Since theyre all friendsand neighbors, we are happy to cover their cost as they travel past thetoll bridge to get to our practice.Our loyal patients come to us for a wide variety of types of treatments:cleanings, white cosmetic fillings, preventive care, tooth or gum rejuvenation, clear braces, (Invisalign) partials and dentures, oral cancerscreening, inlays and onlays, veneers, crown and bridges, implants, extractions and teeth whitening, among many other procedures.Time permitting, we are pleased to offer same day treatment as well.Also we accept walk-ins and those with dental emergencies.

We closely assess which technology is truly useful when it comes to comfort, effectiveness, durability, and patient health.The DIAGNOdent, which we use for all patients, is invaluable becauseit provides a way to look underneath the surface. It looks beyond theenamel and is able to find areas that potentially have problems. Wetreat problems early, and that enables us to keep the entire toothstructure strong and long-lasting.We are one of the few practices in the area that offer FDA-clearedPerioLase. This laser technology that makes an enormous differencein our patients lives, and the treatments cause far less discomfort,pain, and swelling. Because lasers sterilize the tissue, the risk forinfection is much lower.We utilize the T-scan digital occlusal analysis system which is state-of-the-art. It provides 2D and 3D analysis and makes it possible topreserve dental structure by analyzing occlusion and bite issues before they become problemswe can monitor changes over time todecide whether any treatment is needed.Other technologies that benefit our patients include digital X-rays,intraoral cameras and Rotary Endodontic Instruments, which makeroot canals simpler and less invasive. We also offer sleep apnea devicesand guards which fundamentally change patients sleep quality andhealth and the Pinhole Surgical Technique, which is gum rejuvenationthat avoids the use of scalpel or sutures.

Educating our Patients We firmly believe that oral health is a gateway to overall health.Many people do not realize that not addressing oral issues can lead toinfections or bacteria in the bloodstream; reduced chewing capacity;and even more serious, systemic diseases.Our patients know that oral care is an investment in overall health.We provide educational videos and links on our website for patients.Our philosophy is the more you understand that we are here to helpyou with your overall health, the more you are likely to understandwhy we focus on complete oral health rather than quick fixes.We also place an emphasis on education when it comes to our team.Throughout his dental career, Dr. Robinette has continued to takecourses to stay abreast of the best techniques and technologies.The team at Gulf Coast Dental also puts their time and resources intonot only technology, but also continuing education. The technologyis only as good as the skill with which we use it. We pride ourselveson staying knowledgeable about new developments. Our approach is to watch carefully so we know which ones will help our patients, andthen seek the training to make the most of the science.

We want the best for you. Our team is comprised of true healthprofessionals who take pride in expert service and quality of care. Weare a friendly, caring group of people who embrace any client thatwants to join our family. Here, you get the family feel but with state-of-the-art technology. Its the perfect combination.I always know that my patients are getting the best. I know them and their history; and they know I am personally invested in their well-being. Dr. Robinette

Changing Lives Our faces, and especially our smiles, are the first things people noticeabout each other. Great dental care can make a huge difference in howyou feel about yourself, whether you are straightening or whiteningyour teeth, fixing a broken crown, or getting implants or dentures. When you know your smile looks good, you feel confident. Whenyour dentures are secure and comfortable, you can eat and socializewith comfort. And that confidence and comfort radiate outward tothe people around you. Confidence also comes with knowing that you are taking care ofyourself inside and out. The peace of mind that comes with knowingthat your teeth and gums are healthy and structurally sound; and that their health has such a significant impact on the health of yourbodythat peace of mind cannot be measured. Let us help you change your life for the better, bringing health,confidence, and joy to yourself and to those around you!

this office is located on the bottom floor near the South entrance. You can pull up to the South entrance and you go in and it is to the right. Easy-to-access. Nice open courtyard with plants in a fountain. we did not use this dentist so I do not know the experience of its office, but the location is very nice.
