Great experience!
Dr. Pernell uses an ultrasonic pick to remove tartar instead of the endless, painful scraping I always endured before.
I also liked being able to see the x-ray and camera images as they were discussed.
Very progressive, modern dentistry.

The staff was amazing! They made me & my 12-year-old son feel comfortable & at ease. Jennifer Konsul is awesome!!
- Dana
Good people. Great complete exam. Friendly personnel who are very professional. Fair pricing!
- Louise
Can not say enough good things about Dr. Andy and the staff at Summit. They went out of their way to accommodate me for a replacement filling, scheduling me quickly and Darlene even helped entertain my 1-year-old during my appointment! I’d been looking for a dentist I can build a relationship with in Denver and have been unimpressed with the offerings until now. Highly recommend you check them out.
- Mariah
I avoid the dentist unfortunately at all costs! With that being said I had the best experience I have ever had at the Dentist today. And I had a root canal. I have been twice now and neither time have I been stuck in the waiting room or in a room waiting for someone to show up. I was told what was happening every step of the way so things were not unexpected. I did not feel rushed and I felt like my time was valued. Dr. Pernell did not work on six other people while he was working on me. The front desk staff, the hygienist, and the assistants are just all super sweet. I am so happy I picked this Dentist. I am a new patient and I would highly recommend this choice.
- Maryellen
I was so impressed with Dr. Pernell and his staff. My daughter had a very bad experience with her prior dentist and was very anxious about having another tooth pulled. She cried before Dr. Pernell even started as she was anticipating it to be another horrible experience. Well, she was pleasantly surprised that he and Kayla were so sweet to her and took the process very slowly to ensure as little discomfort as possible. Dr. Pernell was very compassionate and couldn’t have been sweeter to Danielle. He’s restored her faith in dentists again:) Thank you so much!!! I will sing your praises to everyone I know.
- Yvette
Dr Pernell and all of his staff are very welcoming and kind! I’ve only been here a handful of times, but you can instantly tell that they love what they do and they truly care for their patients. They have been on time for my appointments and you don’t feel rushed through your visit. Great family office.
- Allison
The staff and Dr Pernell were all so nice and welcoming! This was a first time visit for me. Dr Pernell is very thorough and takes the time to explain things well. I would highly recommend Summit Family Dentistry! Thanks!
- Krista
You won’t find a staff who cares more. Kayla and Dr. Pernell were awesome as usual today. From the moment you walk into the moment you leave, customer service is a priority.
- Melinda
I highly recommend them. They were very helpful, efficient, and the office was immaculate! My grandson had a great experience today! Thanks to everyone who helped us today!
- Trina
I woke up in the middle of the night in serious pain from a broken tooth... Dr. Andy was so great to help work me in and take care of me and this pain! I fully recommend this practice and will definitely be back!
- Matt
I can't say how great my experience was today. Sam and Dr. Pernell were fantastic! Answered all of my questions and made my whole experience great from start to finish!

Committed to Our Community
At Summit Family Dentistry, we are committed to making a positive impact on our community. Part of that is getting involved with local organizations that work every day to help those in need and make our community better each and every day.
Ace & TJ's Grin Kids!
Ace and TJ’s Grin Kids. Grin Kids was formed to provide the opportunity for children with life-threatening illness to go to Disney World with their families. It is a wonderful opportunity that many of these children would not otherwise have.
Love Denver
We thoroughly enjoyed completing dental screenings at the Love Denver event held at East Lincoln High School! “Love Denver is a multi-church sponsored, back to school themed, community medical clinic with a mission to “meet the spiritual and physical needs of the needy through the Gospel and Name of Jesus.”’
NC Baptist Dental Van
We also had a lot of fun working on the NC Baptist Dental Van at Real Life Church in Lucia. We were able to see quite of few people in need for dental work along with other members of the dental community in Denver and surrounding areas. We had a lot of fun and hope to make this a tradition.
Ada Jenkins Dental Bus
We volunteered in Charlotte on the Ada Jenkins Dental Bus at the Salvation Army Center for Hope Shelter. It was a great way to again help those that would otherwise not be able to get the dental care they deserve.
