Gig Harbor’s Most Trusted General Dentistry Dentist
Are you looking for general dentistry in Gig Harbor, Washington? Come to Peninsula Family Dentistry for all your dental needs. Dr. Thomas Duffy is committed to providing excellent dental care for the entire family. He has extensive experience working with adults, children, and the elderly, and would be delighted to welcome your family into his practice. Unlike other dental offices, Dr. Duffy prefers to do most of your restorative care (fillings and other “dental work”) himself, ensuring that your results meet his high standards and that you and your family are well-cared for and comfortable. And if Dr. Duffy believes you need a referral to an outside specialist, he has strong relationships with local experts whom he trusts.
Trends come and go, but at Peninsula Family Dentistry, we embrace one thing that should remain constant: following the highest standards of outstanding care and craftsmanship. Our goal is to provide an innovative and individualized patient experience. To that purpose, not only do we use the most up-to-date technologies to provide the best possible treatments.

Our goal has always been to make your visit comfortable, informative, and relaxing while fulfilling our commitment to these high standards.
General Dentistry and Your Oral Health
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires routine dental care and Dr. Duffy is passionate about the fact that your oral and overall health are intertwined. The American Dental Association recommends that you visit the dentist regularly, and we can help you figure out how often you should do so. Regular visits can help you avoid common dental problems like cavities and gum disease (gingivitis) or identify existing disease processes before they progress into root canals or advanced gum disease (periodontitis) and loss of teeth. They also help identify potential issues or systemic diseases that affect your teeth, gums, tongue and jaw, as well as affect your overall health.
