Pete Spalitto, DDS, a Dentist with West County Dental
Get to know Dentist Dr. Pete Spalitto, who serves patients in St. Louis, Missouri.
St. Louis dentist, Dr. Spalitto, and his entire team at West County Dental, practice dentistry with personal attention, clear communication, and clinical excellence. Firm believers in education and prevention, it is their mission to help patients reach their optimal dental health in a comfortable environment.
Unlike many other dental offices, West County Dental provides a comprehensive range of dental services—from general dentistry to oral surgery—all under one roof. Being a “health-driven practice,” the goal is to make each and every dental experience positive, relaxing, informative, and convenient.
Having a varied background both in experience and education, Dr. Spalitto received his Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Biology from Truman State University before attending the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Dentistry. There, he served as Class Vice President and was involved with the Honors Endodontics Program. After graduating with his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2000, he served as a Major in the United States Army. While in the Army, he participated in the Advanced Education in General Dentistry Program, which provides additional concentrated learning in specific areas such as root canals, braces, oral surgery, and many other complex procedures. During his active duty, he was able to apply his knowledge in his treatment of soldiers worldwide, including Korea and Iraq.
This experience, in addition to his more recent work in private practice in Kansas City and continuing education through professional organizations, gives Dr. Spalitto the understanding and knowledge to treat most dental needs. His approach is comprehensive – rather than specializing in one particular treatment or procedure, he has concentrated on developing the skills needed to treat the whole spectrum of dental health needs that arise throughout a person’s life.
Committed to continually learning about the most recent advances in the dental field, he remains a member of the American Dental Association, the Missouri Dental Association, the Greater St. Louis Dental Association, and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He also participates in the St. Louis chapter of the Seattle Study Club.
Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.
In his spare time, Dr. Spalitto enjoys spending time with his wife, Susan, and their children, Olivia, Anna, and Henry. If he isn’t working on one of his many household improvement projects, one can often find him out on the golf course or enjoying time at the family farm.
