Dentist – Carrollton, TX

How do I get emergency dental care?

That depends. Are you experiencing any potentially life-threatening symptoms, like trouble breathing or uncontrollable bleeding? If so, call 911 or head to the ER. If not, then visit our emergency dentist in Carrollton, Dr. Dillard, ASAP. With same-day appointments, sedation dentistry, and multiple financial solutions, the process of alleviating your pain and restoring your healthy smile is easier than ever.

How do I find the best place to get dental work done?

Oftentimes, patients are tempted to hop on Google. While that will give you a list of providers in your area within a matter of seconds, this can quickly lead to overwhelm if you don’t know what you’re looking for. That’s why we recommend first determining what’s important to you as a patient. Are you looking for a dental implant dentist in Carrollton who can complete the entire procedure under one roof? Are you looking for a dental team that welcomes your dental insurance? Maybe you’re looking for an office that offers early morning appointments. Whatever the case may be, take some time to figure it out before looking online or asking friends and family for their recommendations.

Of course, if you are looking for a caring, experienced, compassionate, and talented dental team near you, you can also give us a call! We’re proud to welcome patients both near and far, and we look forward to getting to know all about you and your smile goals.

What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?

Whether it’s time for your six-month checkup or you’re interested in visiting our cosmetic dentist in Carrollton to discuss Invisalign, you might hesitate to schedule an appointment if you’re worried about the cost. If that’s the case, don’t hesitate to ask us about the financial solutions that are available! Although we are a fee-for-service dental office, we accept all PPO dental insurances. Additionally, we offer periodic specials and welcome flexible financing with CareCredit. As a result, there’s a good chance that we can help make the cost of the dental care that you need or want fit comfortably within your budget.

What level of education is required to be a dentist?

In order to earn their Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree, dentists need to complete three years of extensive in-classroom and hands-on training. Prior to that, they need to obtain an undergraduate degree, usually with very high grades and in a major that’s heavy in math and science. Dr. Dillard, for example, studied at the University of Texas at Austin, the University of North Texas, and Baylor College of Dentistry. In the years since, he has completed over 100 hours of advanced training on Invisalign and over 30 hours of advanced training in BOTOX/dermal fillers.
