Modern dental care in El Paso, all in one place

From a routine cleaning to a full smile makeover, these are the treatments El Paso patients book most. Each one has its own page with more detail.

Family checkups and cleanings

Regular exams and cleanings keep small problems small. A cavity found early is a simple filling, not a crown or root canal. One practice can see parents, teens and grandparents. See family dentist in El Paso.

Dental implants

An implant replaces a missing tooth with a post set in the jaw and a crown on top, designed to look, feel and chew like a natural tooth. Implants can also hold a full set of teeth firmly in place. See dental implants in El Paso.

Braces and Invisalign

Straighter teeth are easier to clean and many adults and teens want the confidence that comes with them. Ask about metal braces, clear braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign. See braces and Invisalign in El Paso.

Teeth whitening

Professional whitening uses stronger gels than store kits, with the dentist checking your teeth and gums first. In-office whitening can brighten a smile in a single visit. See teeth whitening in El Paso.

Cosmetic dentistry and veneers

Veneers, bonding and tooth-colored fillings fix chips, gaps, worn edges and stains. A cosmetic consultation shows you the options and costs before you commit. See cosmetic dentistry in El Paso.

Dental care for children

Dentists who see children make early visits calm and routine, check how new teeth are coming in and apply sealants and fluoride. See children's dentist in El Paso.

Emergency dental visits

A cracked tooth, a knocked-out tooth or a swollen, throbbing jaw needs care soon. Call and ask for the next available opening. See emergency dentist in El Paso.

Dentures, extractions and root canals

Local practices also make full and partial dentures, take out damaged teeth and wisdom teeth, and treat infected teeth with root canals. Some complex extractions and implant surgeries are referred to an oral surgeon in El Paso; your dentist will tell you if that applies to you.

How to find the best dentist in El Paso

There is no single best dentist for everyone. The right one for you depends on the care you need, your insurance, your language and your schedule. Use this checklist when you compare El Paso dental offices:

Read more
  • Check the dentist's license on the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners public license search, the official source the board keeps up to date.
  • Ask which insurance plans the office is in network with, and whether it accepts Texas Medicaid or CHIP dental plans if your children are covered.
  • Ask whether staff speak Spanish, if your family is more comfortable in Spanish.
  • Ask what treatments are done in the office, for example implants, clear aligners, same-visit crowns or in-office whitening, and which ones are referred out.
  • Ask for a written treatment plan with costs before treatment starts, and ask what payment plans or financing the office offers.
  • Ask about appointment times that fit your week, such as early mornings, evenings or Saturdays.
  • Ask how the office handles urgent problems for existing patients.
  • If you are nervous about dental visits, ask what the dentist does to keep patients at ease, including sedation options where available.

A practice that answers these questions clearly before your first visit is a good sign. When you book through us, you can raise any of them on the call.

Dental insurance, Medicaid and CHIP in El Paso

About 20.6% of El Paso residents have no health insurance, and 11.2% of residents under 19 are uninsured (Census ACS 2020 to 2024). If that is your family, you can still book a visit: ask about self-pay prices, payment plans and financing when the practice calls.

Most Texas Medicaid and CHIP members aged 20 and younger get dental care through a managed care dental plan. To find a dentist who takes your child's plan, or to set up a checkup, the Texas Health Steps line is 1-877-847-8377 (1-877-THSTEPS), Monday to Friday. When you book with us, choose "Medicaid / CHIP" on the form so the practice knows before it calls. Read more on the insurance and payment page.

Spanish-speaking dental care

El Paso is a bilingual city. Census data shows 72.1% of El Paso households speak Spanish at home. If you or a parent would rather talk about treatment in Spanish, ask for Spanish-speaking staff when you book, and mention it again at check-in. Understanding your treatment plan in your own language makes it much easier to decide.

El Paso water and fluoride: what it means for your teeth

El Paso Water states that it does not fluoridate the water. The fluoride in local tap water is natural and changes by source and year. The 2025 El Paso Water drinking water report lists fluoride from 0.03 to 1.08 ppm, with an average of 0.58 ppm.

Because no fluoride is added, it is worth asking your dentist whether your children would benefit from fluoride varnish at checkups, fluoride toothpaste at home or other fluoride options. Families who drink mostly bottled or filtered water should mention that too.

Dental training in El Paso

El Paso is home to the Woody L. Hunt School of Dental Medicine at Texas Tech Health El Paso, described by the school as the newest dental school in Texas and the first to open in the state in over 50 years. Its students take required clinical Spanish, and the school runs the Texas Tech Dental Oral Health Clinic for public patients. A 2023 report on a Texas Tech and El Paso Community College partnership said the Borderplex has one dental hygienist per 4,200 residents, compared with one per 2,000 in the rest of Texas. Popular appointment times can fill up, so booking a few weeks ahead for cleanings is a smart habit.

What to do in a dental emergency

  1. 1
    Knocked-out adult tooth: pick it up by the top, not the root, rinse it gently, and keep it in milk or in your cheek. Call right away, because time matters.
  2. 2
    Broken or cracked tooth: rinse with warm water, save any pieces and use a cold pack on the cheek for swelling.
  3. 3
    Toothache or swelling: call to book the next available visit. Do not put aspirin on the gum.
  4. 4
    Swelling that spreads to the eye or neck, or trouble breathing or swallowing: go to an emergency room or call 911.
