The Best Cosmetic Dentists in Lubbock

If you have to go to a dentist, this is the place to go. All the anxiety I used to feel when going to the dentist was dissolved when I started going here years ago.

Every person here is wonderful. The front desk ladies are kind and friendly. Amy always does an excellent job cleaning my teeth with care and concern, and Dr Hancock is kind, knowledgeable and efficient. There is never a wait time. I highly recommend this place for your dental needs.

I always know when I go to Hancock & Johnston Denistry that I am going to receive professional and personalized customer service. I always know I am going to be well taken care of!! Maura is awesome and always makes it an enjoyable experience!!

Dr. Hancock is a great dentist, very patient and kind. My son was nervous about getting teeth pulled and Dr. Hancock put him at ease.

Most thorough Dentist I’ve been to in years. Chrissy, my dental tech, was fun, efficient, and very professional. Dr. Johnston was also very thorough and professional as well as pleasant. I’m looking forward to a long relationship with this Dental office.

This is a reward that is unmatched for the patient and the doctor.

Taking a Child to a Pediatric Dentist vs. a Family Dentist

When looking for a dentist to care for your young child’s oral health, you may find yourself at a crossroads: Pediatric Dentist or Family Dentist? Pediatric dentists are experts in catering to the unique needs of children, especially if your child has dental issues such as thumb sucking or dental anxiety/fear. On the other hand, […]

Treat Gum Disease in Lubbock at the Dentist

You’ve just found out that you have gum disease. What’s next? If you found out via a hygiene visit with our team at Hancock and Johnston Dentistry, most likely we have mapped out a course of action and you’re well on your way to obtaining treatment! However, maybe you’re coming from other corners of the […]

FAQ's

We recommend most patients come in every six months for a routine cleaning and checkup. That said, every smile is different — some patients with gum disease or a higher risk of decay may benefit from more frequent visits. Unlike many other clinics that require a six-month wait before a routine cleaning or checkup, we want to prevent delayed treatment due to scheduling conflicts. Give us a call and we’ll find a time that works for you and your family!

Yes! We offer teeth whitening as part of our cosmetic dentistry services, along with composite restorations, bonding, and porcelain crowns/veneers. Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove stains and discoloration, making smiles dramatically lighter and last longer than retail store treatments. We’ll walk you through the options available and find the right fit for your smile and budget.

The most common reasons root canals become necessary are trauma — such as a sports injury, car accident or chronic grinding. Physical irritation from deep decay or a very large filling can also require a root canal. Regardless of the cause, the tooth pulp becomes irritated and an abscess (infection) develops. Bacteria grow within the pulp, causing pressure, pain, and sometimes facial swelling. If you’re experiencing a persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, or swelling near a tooth, don’t wait — call us right away. Time is not on your side with a tooth infection, and we believe in saving teeth whenever possible.

Gum disease can be daunting, but you’re not alone — almost half of all U.S. adults over age 30 have some form of periodontal disease, and about 9 percent have advanced gum disease. Common warning signs include (red, swollen, or bleeding) gums, persistent bad breath, gums that are pulling away from your teeth and teeth that feel loose. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a hygiene visit with our team. We’ll map out a course of action and get you well on your way to treatment.

We recommend bringing your child in around their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Starting early helps us catch any developmental concerns, gets kids comfortable with visiting the dentist and sets healthy habits for life. At Hancock & Johnston, we love connecting with our community and providing stellar dental care for multiple generations. Our office even has a koi pond out back that kids love — a great way to make their first visit fun!

We offer several restorative options for missing teeth. A bridge spans the gap where one or more teeth have been lost, while dentures replace multiple missing teeth.

Dentures can be removable or fixed and are most often used when someone has lost all of their upper or lower teeth due to advanced decay or gum disease. Dental implants are also available and are considered the best option for replacing individual teeth, as they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Come in for a full exam and we will explore multiple options that fit your needs and budget.

Lubbock is known for having hard water, which contains higher levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. While these minerals aren’t harmful to your health, hard water can contribute to mineral buildup on your teeth over time, making them appear dull or yellowed. The good news is that professional cleanings keep that buildup in check.

Lubbock’s water is also highly fluoridated, which helps strengthen enamel and protect against cavities — especially important for kids. We’re happy to talk through any water-related concerns at your next visit.

Absolutely! We provide treatment to everyone in the community, from kids to adults to families, and we welcome new patients whether you recently moved to Lubbock or switched from a previous dentist. If you are attending Texas Tech University, don’t delay cleanings and treatment. We offer payment plans and can also accept payments from parents.
